Diane Keaton

DVDs out Today

Black Swan - A ballerina becomes the star of her first show and the pressure drives her crazy. (And when I say "crazy" I mean "bat-shit insane." But Natalie Portman deserved the Oscar because she was amazing. And if you decide to see it, be warned, it's a GREAT movie, but you'll still leave confused and a little disturbed...)
Tangled - Disney does Rapunzel. (This movie was precious and you can sign me up for anything with Zachary Levi. ESPECIALLY when he sings with his sultry nerd voice.)

Motherly Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

The Family Stone. A man brings his uptight fiancee home to meet his ridiculously laid-back family. (This movie made me laugh, then cry, then laugh, then cry some more. It was amazingly emotional in all the right ways.)

Movies to see:

Black Swan, Tangled, The Family Stone

Trailers of the post: Dramas

The Conspirator. The story behind the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. (There are so many amazing actors in front of and behind the camera, it is literally impossible for this movie to suck. Even if the trailer didn't look amazing, I would go see this.)

Sympathy for Delicious. A crippled man finds he can heal others, but not himself. (This looks remarkably moving with just a little hint of annoying because the protagonist is going to be an asshole and that's always the worst.)

Because I Said So, Something's Gotta Give, Baby Boom, The Family Stone, The Godfather, Mad Money, Annie Hall.

Diane Keaton was in Something's Gotta Give with Jack Nicholson who was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon: 2 steps.

Movies out Today

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules - More crazy stuff happens to emotionally cripple some small children. (I'm not so sure why they made a sequel to this movie, I didn't think the first one did that well. But I didn't see the first one either, so I guess I'm not one to judge.)

Peep World - A man publishes a book about his dysfunctional family and becomes famous while his siblings just act crazy. (This looks absolutely hilarious and I hope it comes to town so I can drag someone to it.)

Sucker Punch - A girl is trapped inside an insane asylum and forced to dance for some weird reason so she starts imagining another world that she controls that will somehow get her out of there. (The plot of this movie is completely ridiculous and makes little to no sense, but the effects look pretty cool so I'll probably see it.)

Ex-Mrs Reynolds Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

The Perfect Score. A misfit team of high school seniors plot to steal the answers to the SATs. (ScarJo wasn't the best part of this movie, she was just in it. But despite this it really is one of the best movies because all the other people in it make it great.)

Movies to see:

Peep World, Sucker Punch, The Perfect Score

Trailers of the post: Action

X-Men: First Class. A prequel chronicling Professor X and Magneto when they were young. (Just when you think this movie couldn't look any cooler, Kevin Bacon shows up!)



Super 8. Some kids are in a town that is being harassed by something. (There is no telling what this movie is about because it's by JJ Abrams. The guy likes his secrets.)

Katie Holmes

DVDs out Today

How Do You Know - A woman is pursued by two drastically different men, but doesn't know if she loves either of them. (This movie was mildly entertaining, but Reese Witherspoon's character was emotionally stunted and therefore kind of annoying. But I would still recommend it.)

Skyline - Aliens attack Earth and a bunch of lame/douche-bag people try to survive. (This movie was absolutely terrible and not even the action/special effects could save it. Plus, the aliens looked like killer vaginas.)

The Tourist - A guy is entangled in some crazy lady's issues with Interpol and stuff. (Even though this got panned in reviews, I really enjoyed it and it did keep me guessing for almost half of the movie which is pretty good compared to other stupid movies.)

Yogi Bear - The cartoon is brought to life on the big screen and then some other stuff happens. (Yeah, the trailers didn't really show the plot and I'm not about to go see that. I didn't even like the cartoon.)

Kinda Crazy Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

First Daughter. The daughter of the President deals with college and new friends and love. (It's a silly teenager movie, but it's cute and Marc Blucas is pretty.)

Movies to see:

How Do You Know, The Tourist, First Daughter

Trailers of the post

Henry's Crime. An innocent man gets out of jail and decides to rob the same bank that he was already convicted of robbing. (Despite Keanu Reeves playing a character that has no emotion again, this looks rather funny and I'll probably see it.)

The Bang Bang Club. Photographers in 1994 South Africa struggle to do their job despite the civil unrest and their own consciences. (This looks a little too dark and disturbing for me, but it has the potential to be very deep and moving.)

Name 7 Katie Holmes:

The Gift, Batman Begins, Thank You For Smoking, Mad Money, First Daughter, Disturbing Behavior, Ice Storm

Kevin Bacon Game:

Katie Holmes was in Mad Money with Queen Latifah who was in Beauty Shop with Kevin Bacon: 2 steps

Cuba Gooding Jr

Movies out Today

Limitless - Bradley Cooper takes a pill that allows him to use 100% of his brain instead of only 10%. (This looks rather interesting, but there's also something about it that makes me wary. I don't usually enjoy movies where the protagonist is an asshole and the trailer gives off that vibe.)
The Lincoln Lawyer - A cocky lawyer gets in over his head with a psychopath preppy boy. (There is so much about this movie that I dislike that I nearly barf every time I see the trailer. Which is a lot because it's practically been shoved down our throats for the past few months.)

Paul - A smart ass alien enlists the help of two UFO nerds to help him escape the government. (I love pretty much everything about this plot and the people in it. I can't wait!)

Grinning Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

Rat Race. A random group of people race across country to win a million dollars. (This movie is only hilarious because of all the amazing actors that are in it and Cuba is just as great as all the others. It's a race! I hope I win!!)

Movies to see:

Limitless, Paul, Rat Race

Trailers of the post

Bridesmaids. A woman is roped into being a maid of honor and has to deal with the other crazy bridesmaids and other crazy stuff. (Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph?! Hells yeah!!)



Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Captain Jack Sparrow and Captain Barbosa hunt for the Fountain of Youth. (I mean, it isn't necessary to make more Pirates movies, but I'm not complaining because they're all great!)

Anna Faris

DVDs out Today

The Fighter - Marky Mark is a boxer with more fighting going on in his personal life than in the ring. (As much as I love Mark Wahlberg and Amy Adams, this movie just doesn't appeal to me. Maybe it's the fact that I think boxing is dumb or maybe it's the fact that Christian Bale looks supremely creepy. Or maybe it's both facts...)

Hereafter - Matt Damon talks to dead people and some French lady almost dies but doesn't and a little boy loses his twin and kind of goes crazy. (This was one of the few Clint Eastwood movies that I actually enjoyed. Maybe because it wasn't dreary or depressing and didn't make me want to slit my wrists.)

The Switch - Jason Bateman accidentally knocks up Jennifer Aniston through in-vitro. (As ridiculous as that one-sentence summary was, the movie itself is far more ridiculous and pee-your-pants funny. Watch it!)

Ooooooo! Goodies!

Underrated movie of the post:

House Bunny. An ex-Playboy Bunny becomes the "house mother" to a group of awkward college girls. (This movie was pleasantly surprising and hilarious from beginning to end. I mean, who doesn't like a heart-warming story about a stupid slut making nerdy girls feel better about themselves?)

Movies to see:

Hereafter, The Switch, House Bunny

Trailers of the post

Dylan Dog: Dead of Night. The guy who played Superman is now dealing with monsters, zombies, and other supernatural stuff. (I can't really see Brandon Routh playing the sarcastic and cynical superhero, but it looks moderately funny and that one guy is pretty cool.)



Vintner's Luck. A peasant man strives to make the perfect wine. (Italian dramas, you gotta love 'em.)

Josh Duhamel

Movies out Today

Battle: Los Angeles - Aliens attack LA. (And Paris Hilton scares them off with her chihuahua...)

Elektra Luxx - A former porn star gets tangled up in a crazy woman's schemes. (This is a sequel of sorts to Women in Trouble, which was an awesome movie, and Carla Gugino is one of my favorites and Timothy Olyphant is sexy-fine. So yeah, I'm going to see this.)

Jane Eyre - A young woman lives with a jerk who has a crazy wife upstairs. (The book was alright, but this movie looks super boring for some reason...)

Mars Needs Moms - A little brat is mean to his mom and then gets all crazy when martians take her. (This looks absolutely stupid and completely uninteresting.)

Red Riding Hood - A modern-ish twist on the fairy tale involving werewolves and hunky dudes and creepy Gary Oldman. (You had me at creepy Gary Oldman.)

Sexy-Fine Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

Win A Date With Tad Hamilton. An average girl from a small town wins a contest to spend the night with a morally unhinged movie star and teaches him values or whatever. (The main attraction to this movie is Josh Duhamel being hot and stupid and Topher Grace being nerdy-hot and adorable. And plus, what girl doesn't dream about meeting the movie star of her dreams and having him fall for her?)

Movies to see:

Battle: Los Angeles, Elektra Luxx, Win a Date With Tad Hamilton

Trailers of the post: Awesome!

Super. An average man turns himself into a superhero to win his wife back from, you guessed it, Kevin Bacon! (If there is any man who could overcome Kevin Bacon, it's Rainn Wilson. I'm so excited for this, it's ridiculous!)



Cat Run. A woman is hunted down for a hard drive she stole while a couple of weird private eyes try to help her. (I really hope that guy's character's name is Scotty and I REALLY hope he doesn't know much... Scotty doesn't know! Scotty doesn't know! Don't tell Scotty!)

DVDs out Today

Jackass 3D - Those guys get back together and do more ridiculous crap, including but not limited to a dildo cannon. (Yes, I said dildo cannon. Go see it. It's hilarious!)


Morning Glory - A woman becomes the producer of a morning TV show and has to deal with all the crazies there while trying to maintain a normal life. (This was pretty cute and I love Rachel McAdams and Patrick Wilson. Also, Harrison Ford is REALLY old...)


The Next Three Days - Russell Crowe has to break his wife out of jail in...you guessed it...the next three days. (As exciting as this trailer looked, I still couldn't bring myself to see it. Elizabeth Banks is awesome, but Russell Crowe just makes me cringe for some reason...)

The Walking Dead: Season 1 - Zombies take over the world and a small-town sheriff, his family, and some other people have to survive. (This show has everything: a look into human psyche, how to survive the end of civilization, a Boondock Saint, and...most importantly...ZOMBIES!!!)

Double O Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. An adventurous archaeologist takes on some bad guys who want to control time with a magical relic. (I didn't know who Daniel Craig was until after Casino Royale and then I remembered he was the hot naked guy in the movie. And he was badass, but more importantly, he was naked.)

Movies to see:

Jackass 3D, Morning Glory, The Walking Dead, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

Trailers of the post: Awesome Actions

Thor. A mythical god is banished to Earth and has to live his life as a human. (Holy crap this looks amazing! Not only is there action, special effects and hunky dudes, there's Natalie Portman!!)

Movies out today

The Adjustment Bureau - Matt Damon falls for a girl and then some creepy dudes who apparently control fate or something tell him he can't have her so he says "screw you!" and they try to run away together. (Despite starring Matt Damon, this looks rather interesting and I definitely want to see it.)

Beastly - A modern take on Beauty and the Beast, a popular boy in high school is cursed to be ugly by one of the Olson twins and he has to make Vanessa Hudgens fall in love with him or he'll be uggers forever. (I always knew those Olson twins were tricksy! But really, I think I'd rather live as an ugly dude than love Vanessa Hudgens. That's just my personal opinion...)

HappyThankYouMorePlease - Ted from How I Met Your Mother stars in and directs this group of love stories that are all intertwined. (The trailer looks adorable and I've always loved Ted so in my eyes he can do no wrong. Unless it sucks, then he did wrong...)

Rango - A chameleon is in the desert and he does stuff. (Honestly, that's all I've been able to glean from the trailer. That and Johnny Depp is the voice of the chameleon. I guess knowing that Johnny Depp is in it is more important than knowing what the hell it's about...)

Take Me Home Tonight - Topher Grace goes from the 70's to the 80's in this epic night of lies, sex, drugs, and other bad things that people did in the 80's. (I've started out hating this movie just because merely looking at the title gets the song stuck in my head. Now it's stuck in yours! Note: making me was one of the good things that happened in the 80's.)

Nerdy Cute Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

The Sorcerer's Apprentice. The Fantasia short is expanded and brought to life as Nicolas Cage trains an awkward guy how to be a sorcerer. (I was pleasantly surprised at how good this movie actually was. I thought it would be ridiculous because Nicolas Cage is a sorcerer, but Jay Baruchel really saved it and made it awesome/hilarious.)

Movies to see:

The Adjustment Bureau, Beastly, HappyThankYouMorePlease, Take Me Home Tonight

Burlesque - A farm girl travels to LA and becomes a star in a...get this...burlesque show. (The story was contrived, but in the good way where it was decent anyway. Plus, naked Cam Gigandet.)

Faster - Dwayne Johnson's friend (or brother, I'm not sure) dies and he goes around killing a bunch of people. (I think that description, or lack there of, talks for itself.)

Love and Other Drugs - A pharmaceutical salesman falls for a woman with early onset Parkinson's disease. (This movie was quirky and cute and dealt with some serious drama. Plus, naked Jake Gyllenhaal.)

Meh Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

Fantastic Four. A group of scientists are exposed to space radiation and they turn into super heroes. (As terrible as these movies were, I'm pretty sure they weren't meant to be serious.

Movies to see:

127 Hours, Burlesque, Love and Other Drugs, Fantastic Four
