Forest Whitaker

Movies out Today

Drive Angry 3D - Nicolas Cage escapes from Hell to avenge his daughter's death and save his baby granddaughter. (To quote Molly: "Nicolas Cage in 3D is something I can't wait to see." Heavy on the sarcasm and rightly so. This looks ridiculous and not even the explosions can lure me in.)

Hall Pass - Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis are given one free week from their wives to do whatever and whomever they want. (I'm really kind of sick of all the movies about dudes cheating on their wives. I don't want to get all "Debbie Downer" but it really shows how disgusting our society has become when adultery is entertaining.)

Vanishing on 7th Street - There's a massive power outtage and people disappear in the darkness so a group of people have to keep light around or they're goners. (So essentially, there is now reason enough to be afraid of the dark again. Night-lights are making a comeback! But in all seriousness, even though Hayden Christensen is in this, I think it looks cool.)

Flidgy Eye Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

Panic Room. A woman and her daughter are caught up in a robbery, but they hide themselves in a panic room where the loot is hidden. (I just saw this movie again and it never gets old. It's just so good and so exciting and Forest Whitaker is the bad guy who isn't really a bad guy and Jared Leto is all skeezy and Dwight Yoakam is gross and Jodie Foster kicks ass and Kristen Stewart is just as annoying then as she is now. So yeah, I really like this movie.)

Movies to see:

Vanishing on 7th Street, Panic Room

Trailers of the post

Incendies. A mother's dying wish is for her children to travel into her past and they discover who they really are. (Even though it's foreign and I'll have to put up with subtitles, this looks really really good.)



Madea's Big Happy Family. Tyler Perry dons his muu-muu again to tell another dramatic tale that walks the line between funny and depressing. (I'm not sure how he can always go from laughing about stupid stuff and then crying about serious stuff, but he does and it works for him because the dude is rolling in some serious cash-money...)
