Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written ( Read more... )

Another week with 19 releases! Can we please go back to crappy weeks with 8 movies and a chance to rent stuff from the older stuff that I haven't seen ( Read more... )

Ah, the dilemmas of working at a video store. Yes, the big perk is getting 10 free rentals a week and getting to see the movies a week before they're released. The dilemma is often narrowing it down to which 10 to watch. This week is a good example. Due to be released today are the following ( Read more... )

351. Stardust - I liked it. Oddly enough, I found it a bit predictable even though I've not read the text it's based on.

352. The Simpsons Movie - Just a 90 minute TV episode. And not as good as the recent Futurama movie, IMO.

353. The Kingdom - Far better than some of the recent movies set in the Middle East (Home of the Brave, for example), but ( Read more... )

326. The Namesake - Lovely story of family, struggle, and finding oneself. Beautifully filmed, touching and interesting.

327. Mr. Bean's Holiday - If you're a Mr. Bean fan, you'll find this amusing. If not, it's probably not a movie for you.

328. Skinwalkers - Enough action to keep some people happy, not big on plot. Mildly entertaining werewolf ( Read more... )

301. Libero - Directorial debut for Italian actor Kim Rossi Stewart. Interesting portrayal of family dysfunction. Good acting.

302. 2:37 - Amateurish and derivative, I think it's still a pretty decent piece of work considering the filmmaker is only 19.

303. Fido - It was fun. That's about it. Nothing really great about this one aside from the ( Read more... )

276. White Masai - True story, interesting look at cultural differences.

277. Radiant City - Satirical look at suburbia. Give it a watch.

278. The Hawk is Dying - Not much plot, kept putting me to sleep.

279. Ice Spiders - Bad special effects, laughably predictable story - everything you could ask for in a B horror film. It was fun. :)

280. ( Read more... )

251. The TV Set - Waste of a decent cast and of my time.

252. Next - Reasonably good, if slightly predictable, story, decent acting.

253. Evening - Keep your Kleenex handy for this one, I think I cried at the end. If flashbacks confuse you, stay away, this one is full of them.

254. Civic Duty - Drama/thriller starts out pretty slow but makes it ( Read more... )

Apparently Andy had the date wrong. Meeting with parole office is next Tuesday at 2. If he's running late, he's on his own. I've got a rare Tuesday day shift ( Read more... )

226. Wind That Shakes the Barley - Fascinating, beautifully done film. I think it does a decent job of not taking sides in it's filmmaking.

227. I'm Reed Fish - Decent enough low budget romantic comedy.

228. Red Road - Uncomfortable and raw, a bit too slow in parts but well done overall.

229. Scenes of a Sexual Nature - Marvelous serious of ( Read more... )
