Tuesday New Releases:

Sex Drive: This one looked a little funny. More on the lines of an "American Pie" movie. Possibly a rent.

The Haunting of Molly Hadrin: This looked very bad and got horrible reviews. I will probably skip that one.


Yep thats it!!!

Movie Review: Quarantine


Television reporter Angela Vidal and her cameraman are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station. After a routine 911 call takes them to a small apartment building, they find police officers already on the scene in response to blood curdling screams coming from one of the apartment units. They soon learn that a woman living in the building has been infected by something unknown. After a few of the residents are viciously attacked, they try to escape with the news crew in tow, only to find that the CDC has quarantined the building.


This movie was one that I was most excited for! I love the "Blairwitch", "Cloverfield" type of filming. It makes you feel like your more apart of the movie! But this was just complete trash!!! First off they dont explain ANYTHING about the story, they dont go into ANY detail on the characters, and the acting was out of a 1980's cheesy horror movie. I would have turned it off if it was just me watching it but because I had people watching it with I figured let them watch the rest if they want. The only thing good about it was the camera style but it looked like they threw this together in a matter of days. Not recommended!

Movie Review: Still Waiting....


The direct to dvd sequel to WAITING. Featuring most of the original Shenanagans cast (except Ryan Reynolds and Anna Farris) going head to head with another company the Ta-Tas. They only have one day to come up with nine thousand dollars or the restaruant is gonna close down.





I was very excited when I saw this coming out. I didnt even know they made this! But I have to say I was very dissapointed. It may be that all the charm and fun of the first one left with Ryan Reynolds and Anna Farris or maybe that they were trying TOO hard to top the crazy antics in the first one, but about halfway through I wanted to forget I even saw this (its taken me almost a week even to review this!). Im just gonna flat out say NOT RECOMMENDED!

Tuesday New Releases

Body of Lies: This movie looks so-so, I will probably rent just because I like Ridley Scott.

Quarantine: I already went down and got this because I heard it was scary as hell. I will post a review for it in the next couple of days but if your looking for a scary movie to watch tonight get this!

Changeling: I have loved EVERY Clint Eastwood movie (as a director) . But this movie just does not interest me at all. Maybe if Im bored and theres nothing on t.v. I will rent it On Demand.

High School Musical 3: If you into this stuff great. But if your like me...... you dont want this!

Movie Review: Nights in Rodanthe


Adrienne Willis, a woman with her life in chaos, retreats to the tiny coastal town of Rodanthe, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, to tend to a friend's inn for the weekend. Here she hopes to find the tranquility she so desperately needs to rethink the conflicts surrounding her -- a wayward husband who has asked to come home, and a teen-aged daughter who resents her every decision. Almost as soon as Adrienne gets to Rodanthe, a major storm is forecast and a guest named Dr. Paul Flanner arrive. The only guest at the inn, Flanner is not on a weekend escape but rather is there to face his own crisis of conscience. Now, with the storm closing in, the two turn to each other for comfort and, in one magical weekend, set in motion a life-changing romance that will resonate throughout the rest of their lives.


Look I'll be honest with you. I dont mind a good chick movie from time to time. I mean us guys have to give in sometime and watch these things. But this movie was GOD AWFUL!! I mean both me and my girlfriend (I rented this for her for Valentines Day) and the end of this movie were so pissed we wasted an hour and forty minutes on this garbage. Look I liked the Notebook, I liked Message in a Bottle but THIS was just SO bad!! The acting was horrible, I mean it didnt even seem like they LIKE eachother and then during a hurricane they make love and boom they are soulmates? Yeah no joke its in the movie! Im cutting this short because Im just so disgusted that I dont even want to bring up anything else from this movie. NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!

Movie Review: W.


Oliver Stone's biographical take on the life of George W. Bush, one of the most controversial, secretive, cynical, and ruthless president in USA history, chronicling from 1967 to his wild and carefree days in college, to his military service, to his governorship of Texas and oil businesses, leading to his 2000 candidacy for president, his first turbulent four years to his 2004 re-election campaign.


Josh Brolin deserves an Oscar for this movie. I mean it was so well done I had to remind myself that it was in fact an actor not Bush himself. I am a huge Oliver Stone fan! and this has to be one of his best movies. For people who HATE Bush...... Your gonna laugh and love this movie. For people who LOVED Bush...... You too will laugh and love this movie. Oliver Stone did a movie where both sides can come together and watch this amazing story about how an idiot made his way into the White House. It does seem to lag in the middle of the movie but the beginning and the ending are flawless. This movie is very recommended!

Tuesday New Releases

W. : This is a for sure pick up. I REALLY wanted to see this in the movie theatre but decided to wait because why pay 10 bucks when you can wait and watch it at home. Im a big Josh Brolin fan and I heard he was great in this. Again a for sure pick up.

Miracle at St. Anna: I have never been much of a Spike Lee fan (except Inside Man), but I was curious to see how he would do a war movie. Just as I thought it got HORRIBLE reviews and people said that it was one of his worst movies he has done. I think I may skip this and watch it years later on Starz.

Nights in Rodanthe: Another tear jerker from the guy who wrote The Notebook...... Lets just hope my girlfriend doesnt hear about this.....

Blindness: This movie also looked very good but got pretty bad reviews. Now Im a huge fan of director Fernando Meirelles (City of God) and I do like Julianne Moore, so I think I will rent this one also.
