Ted - View on Film

Ted-

Mark Wahlberg teams up with Seth McFarland, the creator of the Family Guy, for a unique comedy about a man-child and his ALIVE Teddy-Bear.  It's as crude as can be....but find out if it's good below in my review. 

Have a great weekend!  Spider-man next week.

New on DVD 6/26 - View on Film

Good Tuesday Everyone!

Big week this week.....and one big recommendation!

21 Jump Street-

You'd think I'd recommend the winner of best picture this year....but I can't bring myself to watch it!  On the other hand, I quite enjoyed 21 Jump Street.  Despite in having a really slow 20 minutes in the middle....it's good stuff with a great cameo surprise.  See my original review below.



Wrath of the Titans-

Oh do I hate this series!  Sam Worthington is a total lump on a log.....and this and the original Clash of the Titans are about as fun as a root canal.  Below is my original review.



The Artist-

Yes, I should see the 2012 Oscar winner for Best Picture....but I plain don't want to!  Rottentomatoes.com gives it a stellar 98%....but I still won't see it!














Mirror Mirror-

And.....the Snow White Stinker from the year.  Rottentomatoes gives it 50% Fresh Rating.....should be only for Julia Roberts fans, and kids.

Seeya Friday!

Good Tuesday everyone....another light week this week.

Project X-

Another 'Found Footage' film, a la Paranormal Activity...about a party gone bad.  I enjoyed this profane movie....you can see my review below.


Louie/Season 2-

This offbeat show from comedian Louis CK is one of my favorites currently on the air.  You never know what the show is going to be about, but it is guaranteed to make you laugh AND make you think.  I love it!  You can check out season 1 on Netflix.

Enjoy your week!

Pixar's Brave this Friday.

New on DVD 6/12 - View on Film

Good Tuesday!  One of my favorites from last year is here!

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows-

Super fun film from Robert Downey Jr. and company!  I really enjoyed it, and liked the formidable villian.


Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengence-

From the good to the bad sequel.  Can't believe Nicolas Cage is still grinding out the films, but here's another cluncker in the 2nd Ghost Rider Film.  Rottentomatoes.com gives it a woeful 18% approval rating.


No new review this Friday, I am off for the rest of the week.

Have a great week, and we'll see you soon,

Jason

New on DVD 6/5 - View on Film

Good Tuesday!  Finally some good titles being released, including a bomb, that I quite enjoyed.
John Carter-

This movie lost Disney mucho dinero, but it is a solid film that is super fun.  It's an old school Sci Fi film that is worth a shot.  Below is my original review.

 
Safe House-

It's been a theory of mine that Denzel Washington alternates between nice, and bad-ass roles.  This would be the bad-ass one, as he plays a loose cannon who may or may not be trying to help a young spy.  Rottentomatoes.com gives it a so-so 54%.

Journey 2- The Mysterious Island

Brendan Fraser must have been busy, as the Rock continues the 3D Franchise, with Hunger Games star Josh Hutcherson reprising his role from the original.  Rottentomatoes.com gives it 42%.

Have a great week!  We'll see you with Prometheus this Friday.
