Brittany Murphy

DVDs out Today

9 - A weird movie about puppets that are alive when everyone in the world is dead. Oh and there are weird robots too to try to kill them. Yeah...

The Perfect Getaway - I never got the chance to see this movie, but I really wanted to. Could it be because I love Steve Zahn? Or Milla Jovovich? Or Timothy Olyphant? Perhaps all three...

Jennifer's Body - I will stand by this movie as being awesome. I don't care what anyone says (I didn't look at the reviews, but half the time they're horrible). Diablo Cody is an amazing writer! Amanda Seyfried is awesome and I even enjoyed Megan Fox a little (a very little). The special effects were pretty cool. What's better than seeing Megan Fox turn into a demon? Lots of things, actually, but that's beside the point.

Paranormal Activity - Didn't see it and I never will. Never, Diana.

Sad to See You Go Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

Uptown Girls. I have always loved this movie despite its silly premise. The ending always gets me. It's a heart-warming story all-around.

Movies to see:

The Perfect Getaway, Jennifer's Body, Uptown Girls.

Trailers of the post: Suspense/Horror/Thriller

Across the Hall. It looks a little too creepy for me, but the dudes seem pretty good looking. I think it has already been released in some cities, though. Good luck finding it.



Case 39. Renee Zellweger tries to save some possessed kid or something. From what I can see from the trailers, it's a "no go" for me, but I'm sure my dad'll wanna see it.



Frozen. My man Shawn Ashmore gets stuck in the frozen wilderness with Kevin Zegers (that punk) and some new chick. This reminds me a lot of Phonebooth where the entire film will be shot with one setting. Boring. And kind of disgusting.

Again, no excuse for my delay. I could've written this far earlier, but I was having too much fun doing nothing. So, again, I will give you a double post. Just because they're fun.

DVDs out Tuesday (the 22nd)

(500) Days of Summer - I'm not sure why they put the 500 in parenthesis, but I am sure that this movie was great! I highly suggest it. And I highly love Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel.

All About Steve - While a little ridiculous, I would say this is still a funny movie and worth watching once. If only for Bradley Cooper.

District 9 - I saw it, it was good, but I don't think I would see it again. But definitely worth seeing once.

Extract - I didn't get to see this movie, but I'm moving it to the top of my queue right now!

Movies out on Friday (Christmas)

Nine - Looks pretty much amazing. I can't wait to see it.

The Young Victoria - I really like Emily Blunt (even though she has stolen away John Krasinski from the world), and this looks like a pretty good period piece. I don't say that lightly, most period pieces are either boring or star Keira Knightley.

It's Complicated - Alec Baldwin is a huge creeper, but I love Meryl Streep and John Krasinski and it just looks funny.

Sherlock Holmes - !!!

Never Gets the Girl Goodies and Too Much Woman to Handle Goodies

Underrated movies of the post:

Interstate 60. By far one of the most interesting and funny movies I've discovered by accident. It's pretty great. Gary Oldman is half Leprechaun and half Native American Witch Doctor. You do the math.
The Cell. It's creepy beyond words, but I really liked it. Definitely one to see.

Movies to see:

Everything listed above. They're all great.

Trailers of the post: Comedy Galore.

Death At A Funeral. I really loved the British version of this movie, but this one looks just as great. And I love that it's the same guy playing the dad's boyfriend. And who doesn't wanna see James Marsden naked, on a roof, high on drugs? I know I do!



The Back-Up Plan. Is it just me or that guy really, really good looking? Despite them being all a bit dumb, I really enjoy J.Lo romantic comedies regardless.



Cop Out. That's my man! Bruce Willis is a sexy beast. Comedy, action, drama, whatever. He can do it all!



Hot Tub Time Machine. I was planning on seeing this just because of the title, but then I saw the trailer and now I'm definitely going to. I love John Cusack!

Name 7 James Marsden:

27 Dresses, X-Men, Hairspray, Gossip, Disturbing Behavior, Enchanted, Sex Drive.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Liam Neeson

I have no excuse for my absence. School's out, work's not in the way, family's no crazier than usual. Just no excuse. To make up for it and my pending absence on Tuesday, I give you a double post.

DVDs out Tuesday (the 15th)

The Hangover (!!!!) - Hands-down winner of the Best Comedy of 2009. I dare you to find a better one. It would be Best Movie of 2009 if Star Trek hadn't been so freaking awesome.

Inglourious Basterds - An equally awesome movie. The writing walked the thin line between disturbing and funny but leaned more to the funny side. Plus, the blood and gore was great.

Taking Woodstock - I haven't seen it...yet. And that's a big yet. I plan on moving it to the top of my queue right now, in fact.

Movies out Friday (the 18th)

Up in the Air - I'm not a huge fan of George Clooney, but this movie has the potential to be interesting. I've been on a Dark Comedy kick lately...

Avatar - I'm not going to lie, giant blue people are pretty cool. But even more cool? Sam Worthington and Giovanni Ribisi. Babes.

Did You Hear About the Morgans? - "I did! Did you?" - Sarah Jessica Parker, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Classic. Cheesy, but classic. I wanna see it, I don't care.

Seriously? Apple? Goodies and Simply Bad-ass Goodies

Underrated movies of the post:

View From the Top. A hilarious comedy about being a flight attendant. Really good and worth watching. I assure you.
Star Wars Episode I. While no where near being as awesome as the originals, this one wasn't as bad as Episodes II and III. Mostly because Hayden Christensen wasn't in it.

Movies to see:

The Hangover, Inglourious Basterds, Taking Woodstock, Up in the Air, Avatar, Did You Hear About the Morgans? and View from the Top.

Trailers of the post: Awesome-ness.

Iron Man 2. Holy jeez!



Clash of the Titans. Are you f-ing kidding me?! This is going to be beautiful!



Shrek Forever After. The news just keeps getting better and better!

Salma Hayek

DVDs out Tuesday

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - Not one of the best movies and the director definitely took some liberties (i.e. Weasley house on fire? Okay...), but I am going to buy it because I have the other five.

Public Enemies - Johnny Depp only proves yet again that he can be sexy in whatever role he plays. I really enjoyed the acting from all of the characters and the story was very interesting (I never knew John Dillinger's story). Everything was done very well and I liked this movie a lot.

Julie & Julia - I never got the chance to see this movie but I do intend on Netflix-ing it right away. I've heard some great reviews from friends and family (the only critics that matter).

Movies out Friday

The Princess and the Frog - Not that I don't love all of the Disney/Pixar movies that have come out in the last decade, I'm pretty pumped for another Classic-esque Disney movie. I do have some questions, though. A princess in New Orleans? Okay...

Invictus - I don't really care for Matt Damon, but I do wanna see this movie. It look very interesting and I've been on a docu-drama kick lately.

Curvaceous Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

Fools Rush In. Alright, so the main reason I love this movie is because it also stars Matthew Perry, but I can honestly say that this is my favorite Salma Hayek movie. I haven't seen much of her other stuff and the stuff I have seen just doesn't compare to Matthew Perry. Although, she was pretty great in Dogma.

Movies to see:

Harry Potter 6, Public Enemies, Julie & Julia, The Princess and the Frog, Invictus, and Fools Rush In. So...everything pretty much.

Trailers of the post: Comedy.

Grown Ups. Who doesn't love older people reminiscing about when they were younger and how messed up their lives are now? I know I do!



Date Night. Tina Fey + Steve Carell = Crazy Hilarious.

Name 7 Salma Hayek:

Across the Universe, Bandidas, Dogma, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Fools Rush In, Wild Wild West, Traffic.

Kevin Bacon Game:

Salma Hayek was in Dogma with Matt Damon who was in Saving Private Ryan with Tom Hanks who was in Apollo 13 with Kevin Bacon: 3 steps.

Quote Quiz #123 winner:

Molly with National Treasure 2! I've seen that movie a billion times and it never gets old. Ever.

QQ #124: name this Salma Hayek movie:

"You of anyone should know that tits don't make a woman."

a. Fools Rush In
b. Bandidas
c. Dogma
d. Wild Wild West

Nicolas Cage, Part 2

DVDs out Tuesday

Night at the Museum 2 - Just as entertaining as the first and worth seeing at least once. If you loved the first then you'll love this one too.

Paper Heart - This one's on my Netflix queue already. I love Michael Cera and that Charlyne Yi girl is funny in all of her awkwardness.

Terminator: Salvation - The special effects, explosions, and action were great and everything else was pretty dumb. What was great was all the promotions and commercials advertising Christian Bale, but he was hardly in it. It basically starred Sam Worthington and Anton Yelchin which, in my opinion, is far better than watching Christian Bale scream for two hours.

Movies out Friday

Armored - Looks pretty dumb. I might have seen it if I knew Milo Ventimiglia had a bigger part. But apparently he's shot in the beginning and half-dead throughout. That's not enough to negate Matt Dillon being a douche.

Brothers - Extremely reminiscent of Pearl Harbor (one guy "dies" and his friend/brother bangs his girlfriend/widow). That and there's the one guy we dislike (Affleck/Maguire) and the other that's super hot (Hartnett/Gyllenhaal) and the babe they fight over (Beckinsale/Portman). I'll probably see it.

Everybody's Fine - This movie looks cute and I'll probably go and see it. I really like all the people in it and it's always funny to watch Robert DeNiro after seeing all of the impressions people do of him.

Transylmania - This looks dumb. Super dumb.

Stoic Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

The Rock. Great, great movie! Action-packed and thrilling and full of so many twists and turns you won't know which way is up!

Movies to see:

Paper Heart, Night at the Museum 2, Brothers, Everybody's Fine, and The Rock.

Trailers of the post: Getting Cage-y.

Season of the Witch. Looks super creepy. Not sure yet if it's fictional enough for me to go see. It is a scary movie after all.



Kick-Ass. I may see it based just on the title.

Name 7 Nicolas Cage:

The Ant Bully, Raising Arizona, Family Man, The Rock, National Treasure, World Trade Center, Knowing.

Nicolas Cage was in Knowing with Rose Byrne who was in Troy with Brad Pitt who was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon: 3 steps.
