3 hotties in 1: Ryan Gosling, Emile Hirsch, Jared Leto

DVDs out Tuesday (5/27)

Alice in Wonderland - Even though Johnny Depp looked like a crazy clown, I really enjoyed this movie. Tim Burton, like always, took a different twist on everything by making it a sequel to the original cartoon and that's why he's one of my favorite directors. He's a genius when it comes to making things weird yet cool.

The Wolfman - This one wasn't that great. I mean, the action and gore was hilarious and Emily Blunt was awesome, but I found everything else to be rather dull (including Benicio Del Toro even though he was hairy and weird enough to play the part).

Movies out Friday

Get Him to the Greek - I'm not completely sold on this one. While it looks funny and I like Russell Brand (a lot), there is something holding me back. Perhaps it's the contrived story or maybe I just think it looks too predictable. Who knows? It could surprise me...

Killers - Despite Katherine Heigl, I really want to see this one. Even though she plays the same character in every movie she's in, I have loved (almost) all of them. So even though she annoys me, I like her. I know, it doesn't make any sense to me either.

Marmaduke - Despite loving Lee Pace, I will not see this movie. It looks ridiculous.

Splice - There's an inner-battle raging: on one side is my love for Adrien Brody and on the other is the desire not to scream like a little girl in a public place. It just looks too freaky...

DVDs out Tuesday (6/8)

From Paris with Love - I never got the chance to see this one in theaters because it was gone before I even remembered it was out. Obviously waiting for Netflix was a good subconscious choice on my part.

Shutter Island - I was able to figure this movie out halfway through and probably would have done it earlier if I wasn't freaked out of my mind. Scorsese is still a genius and DiCaprio is still hot.

Brooding, Adorable, Bad-Boy Goodies

Underrated movies of the post:

Stay. A psychological drama that lets you into the lives of three people, but somehow keeps you guessing until the end.
Girl Next Door. Even though this movie is about teenagers and porn, it really has a great story behind it and, surprisingly, a sweet love story. And it's freaking hilarious.
Highway. This dramady is like a roller coaster between funny and weird. But the story is interesting and it stars two hunky dudes: Jared Leto and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Movies to see:

Alice in Wonderland, Killers, Shutter Island, Stay, Girl Next Door, Highway.

Trailers of the post: A little bit of everything

Morning Glory. This dramady looks mildly entertaining in one of those "watch how this character works too hard even though they end up with nothing only to realize they have everything" kind of movies.



Megamind. I love movies where you're rooting for the bad guy. Especially if that bad guy is Will Ferrell as a crazy alien.



Life as We Know it. Again, the same role for Katherine Heigl as an OCD crazy woman, yet I really want to see it. (Although, I'm pretty sure it has everything to do with Josh Duhamel).
