Kevin Spacey

DVDs out on Tuesday:

Fired Up! - A movie about dudes who sign up as Cheerleaders to get laid. A great family film.

Gran Torino - Another dark and depressing Clint Eastwood acted/directed movie but this one is about racism. Good times.

The International - Some conspiracy movie about a bank killing people or something. Probably because they didn't pay their credit card bills.

Nobel Son - Bryan Greenberg fakes his own kidnapping to get his father, Alan Rickman, to notice him. Of course, it wouldn't be a movie if it all went according to plan. I never saw this movie, but I heard Alan Rickman was a huge jerk and, let's face it, that's how we love him.

Summer Movie Review Part Three

Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian - This movie wasn't as good as the first in most aspects but far better in others. For one, Hank Azaria totally stole the show. On the other hand, Ben Stiller has feelings for a wax figurine? I know she's Amy Adams, but seriously?

Up - I've never cried so much at ANY kid's movie. It is very cute and funny, but highly unnecessary in the tear-jerking category.

Brothers Bloom - This movie was brilliant and it totally lived up to my hype. For those of you who didn't see it, no worries. I am most definitely buying this sucker. I love Adrien Brody!!

The Hangover - Oh my goodness! This movie was hilarious and Bradley Cooper is SO good looking!! There was a lovely balance of surprise and predictable events and non-stop laughter from beginning to end. The best part? The three minutes of Bradley Cooper shirtless and the Asian guy beating the crap out of everyone. I absolutely adore this movie and will buy it as soon as it comes out.

Creepy Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:
Seven. I know it's not underrated in the least, but is there any movie that Kevin Spacey stars in that is better than Seven? It's creepy, but brilliant! So good.

Movies to see:
Nobel Son (if you want), Seven (for sure!), and any of those other ones (which I've already told you to see and if you haven't listened by now then what's the point of repeating myself?)

Trailer of the post:
Shrink. I don't know about this movie but I think it could be interesting.

i'd also like to add that i love how the quote quizzes are less about which movies i've seen (because i haven't seen nearly as many as you) and more about exercising my deductive reasoning. i'll be like sherlock holmes one day thanks to you!
