Kevin Kline

Movies out today

From Prada to Nada - Two rich girls are forced to live with their aunt in middle class LA in this modern twist on Sense and Sensibility. (This is only a limited release and I'm genuinely upset about it. As stupid as it looks, I really want to see this movie...)

Kaboom - A bunch of college kids experiment with drugs and sex and then some weird shit goes down. (This was that trailer that I posted a few posts ago that no one probably watched. But I suggest you go back and do because it looks hilariously weird...)


The Mechanic - A hitman trains his former handler's son in the way of the craft. (I can't wrap my head around this movie. One trailer looks like Ben Foster betrays Jason Statham and the other looks like they're best friends. Either way, I'm going to see it, but I just wish trailers weren't so misleading.)


The Rite - Anthony Hopkins is possessed or something. (This looks both stupid and terrifying. No thanks.)

Oddly Funny Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

Wild Wild West. Will Smith and Kevin Kline team up in this weird western. (This movie is legitimately underrated. It's completely crazy and absolutely hilarious! Nothing is better than when Will Smith plays bongo drums on that woman's breasts. Nothing.)

Movies to see:

From Prada to Nada, Kaboom, The Mechanic

Trailers of the post

The Immigration Tango. Two couples swap women and marry to keep each other from being deported. (This looks funny and has potential. But it has the same potential to be terrible.)



HappyThankYouMorePlease. A bunch of interconnecting stories written and directed by Ted from How I Met Your Mother. (Haaaaaaave you met Ted? No, but really, this looks good.)

LUDA!!!-cris

DVDs out today

Nowhere Boy - A biopic of John Lennon as an angsty teenager before he turned into an angsty adult. (This actually looks really decent.)

RED - A bunch of old people blowing stuff up and shooting people. (Bruce Willis!!)

Secretariat - A horse wins a bunch of races. (Sorry to ruin it for you, but I think the fact that it's based on a true story and it's a Disney movie, I think you could have figured it out by yourself.)

Kickass Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

Crash. A bunch of lives intersect in a bunch of really depressing stories. (Despite being a really depressing movie, Ludacris' cynicism and general badass-ness makes him the best character.)

Movies to see:

Nowhere Boy, RED, Crash

Trailers of the post: Action

Source Code. Jake Gyllenhaal is able to travel back in time for the last eight minutes of some dude's life so he can figure out who blew up a train. (This movie looks trippy, but I'll see it because it looks cool.)



Fast Five. The fifth installment of The Fast and The Furious. (Seriously, the FIFTH installment? In what universe did making five of something work out well?)

Name 7 Ludacris:

2 Fast 2 Furious, Crash, Fred Claus, RocknRolla, Max Payne, Gamer, No Strings Attached.

David Krumholtz

Movies out Today

The Company Men - Ben Affleck is let go from his job and struggles to come to terms with his new life and how to get back in the groove. (Despite this starring Ben Affleck, I kind of want to see it. Not that I can relate to it or anything. Definitely not that.)

No Strings Attached - Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher try out being friends-with-benefits and both find themselves wanting more. (I love Natalie Portman and anything she is in is fantastic, even with Ashton Kutcher weighing her down. Actually, that's not true because the last few movies I've seen him in were surprisingly good.)

The Way Back - Escapees from Siberia walk over 4000 miles to get to freedom in India. (This movie looks very moving and I can't wait to see it. The problem I have is finding someone willing to see such a depressing film.)

Sweet Nerdy Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

The Santa Clause. A man accidentally knocks Santa off his roof and must take on the Christmas duties. (I think we can all agree that Bernard was the best part of this movie. Aside from Neil's ridiculous sweaters.)

Movies to see:

The Company Men, No Strings Attached, The Way Back, The Santa Clause

Trailers of the post: Misc.

Kaboom. A Sci-Fi twist on a bunch of college students having tons of sex. (Despite of and because of all the sex, this movie looks hilarious. I also love Thomas Dekker.)



Never Say Never. Behind the scenes of Justin Bieber in concert. (They did it with The Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana... and those weren't interesting so I doubt this will be either. The sad thing is, my dad will probably want to go see it.)

Thomas Jane

DVDs out today

Paper Man – Jeff Daniels has an imaginary friend who just so happens to be Ryan Reynolds in spandex. (I was sold at Ryan Reynolds in spandex.)

Stone – A man about to retire must first close his last case, determining whether a prisoner receives probation, but finds himself in a twisted game controlled by the prisoner and his wife. (This movie looked way too weird and even though I love Ed Norton and Milla Jovovich, I don't think I'll be seeing this one.)

Takers – A group of criminals trying to pull off their last heist run into some difficulties. (This movie just looks like a bunch of douche bags running around. No thanks.)

Punishing Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:
Deep Blue Sea. Genetically engineered sharks terrorize a scientific lab station in the middle of the ocean. (This movie is beyond ridiculous but at the same time it is beyond hilarious. It's one of those movies that when you see it on TV you have to stop and watch it.)

Movies to see:
Paper Man, Deep Blue Sea

Trailers of the post: Dramas

Limitless. Bradley Cooper finds an amazing new drug that makes him essentially superhuman and Robert De Niro isn't having any of it. (I'm not sure I like movies that have the main character behave like a complete ass because you always know how it's going to end and it's never good.)



The Beaver. Mel Gibson has a mental breakdown and can no longer speak unless it is through a puppet shaped like a beaver. (This movie is stupid. If the plot were even remotely interesting I might be on board, but it is essentially a biopic about Gibson's life with a beaver puppet.)



Name 7 Thomas Jane:
Boogie Nights, The Punisher, The Mist, Thursday, The Sweetest Thing, Deep Blue Sea, Dreamcatcher

Djimon Hounsou

Movies out today

The Dilemma - Vince Vaughn catches his best friend's wife having an affair and struggles to find a way to fix everything. (Vince Vaughn and Kevin James with a Channing Tatum on top? I'm sold.)

The Green Hornet - Spoiled rich boy, Seth Rogan, teams up with his dead father's chauffeur to fight crime. (It looks just as ridiculous as it sounds, but it also looks hilarious and awesome so I'm going to see it.)

Rabbit Hole - A couple struggles with the grief of losing their child as they find their way back to a normal life. (Nicole Kidman is a beast with these dramatic roles and Aaron Eckhart is cool but mostly just nice to look at. Just kidding, he's an amazing actor too so I'll probably swindle someone into seeing this with me. Any takers?)

Difficult to Say Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

Push. A crack team of people with special powers try to take down the people who are hunting them down. (Djimon Hounsou was a complete badass in this movie. It was the first time that I was actually upset that the bad guy loses because I wanted him to be around for a possible sequel.)

Movies to see:

The Dilemma, The Green Hornet, Rabbit Hole, Push

Trailers of the post: Comedy

Cedar Rapids. A guy goes to an insurance convention and has a crazy ass time with a bunch of weirdos. (This looks a little Hangover-esque...but weirder. I can't wait to see it.)



Your Highness. Two brothers must hunt down a kidnapped princess in this extremely inappropriate and hilarious movie. (I absolutely LOVE everything about this trailer. I cannot wait to see this!!!)

Name 7 Djimon Hounsou:

Jeff Goldblum

DVDs out today

Alpha and Omega - A loser wolf and a hot female wolf are transported to Canada to repopulate and have to find their way home. (A kid's movie revolving around the topic of reproduction. Classy.)

Piranha 3D - Get this, piranhas attack people and it's in 3D. (No way! Good thing they didn't name the movie something creative or it could have been really confusing...)

The Social Network - Some guys invent the most time-wasting website the world has ever seen, get rich, and become douche-bags so they made a movie about it. (Only in America...)

It's... Uh... Goodies... Mmhmm

Underrated movie of the post:

Jurassic Park. A team of archaeologists are brought to a mysterious island by an eccentric billionaire to find that dinosaurs walk the Earth again. (Jeff Goldblum was by far the best person in the cast because he was the comic relief and he was super cynical. My two favorite traits in a human being.)

Movie to see:

Jurassic Park

Trailers of the post: Drama

The Other Woman. Natalie Portman goes from mistress to wife to mother and then has to deal with the loss of her baby and a stepson. (Natalie Portman is so awesome and I'm really excited that she's in a crapload of movies lately. She's always been a favorite and this movie looks really really good.)



Waiting for Forever. A young man tries to woo back his childhood sweetheart, whom he has loved despite not seeing her for twenty years. (This looks really sweet and I'm fairly certain that I'm going to fall in love with this dude. I kind of already have just from the trailer.)

Morgan Freeman, part 2

Movies out today

Blue Valentine - This movie takes a look at Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams' tumultuous relationship. (I really love Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams but this movie looks pretty good.)

Country Strong - Country singer, Gwyneth Paltrow is a hot mess and Garrett Hedlund is just hot. (Garrett Hedlund is super hot. So I'm going to see it even if it didn't look really good.)

Season of the Witch - In medieval times, Nicolas Cage has to transport a witch somewhere. (This looks stupid. Mostly because Nicolas Cage is in a suit of armor.)

Sultry Sounding Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

The Bucket List. Two old dudes go around the world fulfilling their life-long dreams. (This movie was surprisingly good despite having no one younger than 70 in it.)

Movies to see:

Blue Valentine, Country Strong, The Bucket List

Trailers of the post: Action

Black Death. A monk must venture into the only town where The Plague hasn't hit. (This looks kind of crazy and weird, but Sean Bean is in it! Even so, I doubt I'll venture out to see it.)

Idris Elba

Dinner for Schmucks - Paul Rudd is forced to find a "schmuck" for a work dinner so get ahead with the boss. (This movie was by far the most ridiculous film I saw last year, but it was just as funny and worth watching.)

Machete - A crazy guys with knives goes after the men who betrayed him. (The fact that this movie was even made is hilarious. I never got to see it, but I am for sure going to.)

Tall, Dark and Handsome Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

The Losers. A group of military dudes are betrayed and branded as traitors and have to hunt down the men who besmirched their good names. (The movie is freaking beyond awesome! So, so, soooo good!)

Movies to see:

Take Me Home Tonight. A guy unsure about his future makes up a distinguished life to impress a girl at a party. (I love everything about this movie, but mostly I love the fact that Topher Grace works at Suncoast. Suncoast forever!)



The Lincoln Lawyer. Matthew McConaughey is a really good lawyer and takes on a murder case that may prove to be too big for even him. (Or too big for his enormous ego. Why is always playing parts that are so conceited? It's beginning to gross me out.)
