Movies currently in review

Hey all, Happy October!

I'm currently watching/reviewing a ton of movies for this week.  Primarily stuff that isn't out until tuesday of next week.

Here is the list..

(Not yet released)
Jonah Hex (Done)
Leaves of Grass
Arn: Knight templar (lol?)
Please Give (Done)
Night of the Demons (Done)
Kung-Fu Master (Done)

(Released)
Harry Brown
Solitary Man

I will probably throw How To Train Your Dragon in there once it comes in, but I have already seen it in theatres so I might just review it from memory.  I have been trying to avoid this since movie rentals are for TV's, not theatre screens (which I believe is a totally different experience) but I have almost maxed my rentals for the week and we are getting more in soon ;p

That does leave 2 slots open for either HTTYD or some suggestions, so feel free to add some you want to see reviewed by me in the comment section of this post.

I'm also going to try to add a better "list" of movies (with pictures).  I am not sure how I can do this easily with blogger.  I already have way too much junk on the main page for a blog.  Maybe I'll create a separate rentamovie info blog for everything else, or a separate website entirely if I get a strong following going here. 

I'm going to try to make a Halloween theme banner with my limited photoshop skills too. Wish me luck!

Anyway off to watch movies/eat spaghetti! See yahs

It's not very often that a good post apocalyptic film shows up.  After having to deal with crap like The Road,  it's refreshing to see a quality one like Book of Eli.  The movie takes place in the year 2042, and something unmentioned has managed to completely decimate the world.  Eli is crossing the wasteland on a religious journey to deliver one of the last remaining bibles to someone way over on the west coast.  Along the way he runs into gangs, madmen, starvation, and all sorts of other nastyness. A man named Carnegie, the leader of a small settlement of brigands and thieves, discovers what Eli is carrying, and lets lose the hounds.  This leads to some awesome action sequences.  Eli must have been trained by Les Stroud himself, because even after being shot, he still manages to find a way to continue. Fans of the Fallout series will feel at home here.  The director really did an awesome job of portraying the wasteland as a horrifically dangrous place where only the mo

City Island (2009)

Another movie I thought would be lame when I first saw it; but just like with books, you can't judge a movie by it's DVD box.  City Island was one of the few drama movies that really keeps the story flowing. The film is all about the convoluted, lie-filled lives of the Rizzos.  Every single family member has a massive secret that no one else knows about.   The daughter is a professional stripper, the dad goes to acting lessons under the guise of playing poker games; and everyone secretly smokes whenever no one else is looking.  When the father discovers that a new in-mate at the jail he works at is his 24 year old son from a wife he ran away from years ago, everything spirals into complete and utter chaos.  The movie is primarily drama, but the director did such a good job with pacing it really keeps the ball rolling.  Every 10 minutes another twist or lie is built up or knocked down.  It really is a fascinating look at how quickly lies can overwhelm even a small group of p
