John Krasinski

DVDs out Today

Dylan Dog: Dead of Night - A guy and his goofy friend hunt supernatural creatures to keep the world safe. (This wasn't in theaters for very long, but I thought it looked mildly funny so I'll probably get it on Netflix. You should too!)

Source Code - A man travels back in time to relive the last minutes of a victim in a train crash so he can learn who was behind it. (This movie had a lot of things going for it, but the ending was crazy. And not in a good way...)

Nerdy Hot Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

Away We Go. A couple travels around the country trying to find the perfect place to raise their unborn child. (This was a fantastic movie for many reasons, but the main one is John Krasinski's character. He is one of the few "perfect husbands" that I have come across in all my extensive movie watching. When I say perfect, I mean he doesn't mess things up, he loves his wife no matter how psycho she acts, and he's sexy even if he's a complete nerd. So if you aren't already in love with John Krasinski, but you want to be, watch this movie.)

Movies to see:

Dylan Dog: Dead of Night, Away We Go

Trailers of the post: Cool Actions

Attack the Block. A gang of teens protect London from an alien invasion. (This is apparently from the guys who did Shaun of the Dead and stuff so I'll give it a chance. Besides, it doesn't look too terrible.)



Colombiana. A young woman hunts down the men who killed her parents. (Zoe Saldana is a babe and a total badass. I wanna be her when I grow up.)

Kevin James

Movies out Today

Captain America: The First Avenger - The comic book hero is brought to life by a seriously hunky Chris Evans! (Did I mention Chris Evans? And shirtlessness? Who needs a plot?)

Friends With Benefits - Two friends with problems holding down a relationship agree to use each other for sex without any emotional attachment. (I love that the new fad for romantic comedies is a plot revolving around NOT falling in love. Hilarious! Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, shirtless Justin Timberlake. Duh!)

Pure Unadulterated Hilarity Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

Paul Blart: Mall Cop. A inept mall cop must save the day and stop some high-tech thieves. (This movie was pleasantly great and you couldn't help laughing at Kevin James and his antics. I highly suggest this. HIGHLY.)

Movies to see:

Captain America, Friends with Benefits, Paul Blart

Trailers of the post

5 Days of War. An American journalist, his cameraman and a native are caught in the middle of the war between Russia and Georgia. (This looks pretty intense and normally I wouldn't go for it, but I can't resist any movie with Val Kilmer. Even if he looks like he is in permanent anaphylactic shock from being stung by a hoard of bees.)



The Family Tree. A mother and daughter are struck with memory loss, allowing their family to mend itself. (This is just what IMDb told me the plot was, I just know that the trailer looks hilarious and I'm most likely going to see it.)

Name 7 Kevin James:

Hitch, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, Paul Blart, You Don't Mess with the Zohan, Grown Ups, The Dilemma, Zookeeper

Movies out Friday

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 - The long awaited resolution to the epic finally arrives. (I still can't believe I haven't seen it yet! But then again, part of me isn't even that excited. I think after 10 years, I've become Harry-Pottered-out right at the moment when I shouldn't be. Weird...)

Winnie the Pooh - Pooh and the gang get into more trouble as they search for Christopher Robin, who isn't lost. (I don't know who's idea it was to release on the same weekend of HP7.5 but they aren't the smartest. Not the smartest by far.)

DVDs out Today

Limitless - A guy takes a pill that allows him to use his entire brain instead of just the 10% and stuff happens. (I never got around to seeing this because it seems like Bradley Cooper ends up being a total ass and I really don't like movies where the protagonist is someone you don't want to root for.)

Take Me Home Tonight - A guy who doesn't know what he wants to do with his life goes to party and pretends to be successful, but things don't go as planned. (I love me some Topher Grace! And Anna Faris too! This movie is a winner and I haven't even seen it.)

Ridiculously Cool Goodies and Meh... Goodies

Underrated movies of the post:

Sin City. Frank Miller's graphic novel comes to life with blood, gore, and scantily clad women. (Even though she was only in the movie for five minutes, I just remember thinking she was so much cooler than the spy mom in Spy Kids. I've had my eye on her ever since.)

Alex and Emma. A man with writer's block has to hire a stenographer to help him write a book in 30 days or Cuban gangsters will kill him. (This is one of my all-time favorites. It's cute, it's about writing a book, and it has Luke Wilson before he got all weird. Also, it's one of the few films that I can actually stand Kate Hudson. So there you go.)

Movies to see:

HP7.5, Limitless, Take Me Home Tonight, Sin City, Alex and Emma

Trailers of the post

Our Idiot Brother. Paul Rudd is the black sheep and takes turns ruining the lives of his three sisters. (This looks simultaneously amazing and terrible. I can't wait to see it.)

2 in 1: Michael Clarke Duncan and Ben Foster

Movies out Friday

Horrible Bosses - Three guys plan on killing the others' bosses. (I love a majority of the actors in this movie, but I'm not sure I can get past the stupid plot... It looks too dumb to be funny.)

The Ledge - A married woman's husband forces her lover to commit suicide or else he'll kill her. (This looks super intense and amazing and I really want to see it!)

Zookeeper - Kevin James can talk to animals. (Ridiculous. But strangely I wouldn't mind seeing it...)

DVDs out Tomorrow

Insidious - A little boy is haunted and his parents try to figure out how to save him. (Ghosts = bad news. No thanks.)

The Lincoln Lawyer - A smarmy lawyer takes on a case that may be too twisted for him. (Matthew McConaughey = annoying. No thanks.)

Movies to see:

Flypaper. One man is caught in the middle of two bank robberies and has to try to keep everyone alive. (This looks absolutely hilarious and I can't wait to see it!)

Wonderfully Odd Goodies

Emily Blunt

Movies out Today

Larry Crowne - An older man is fired from his job because he didn't go to college so he enrolls in community college. (This is like that show Community on NBC only completely different.)

Monte Carlo - Three girls go back-packing through Europe, find out it sucks, discover one of them looks like a celebrity, so they steal her identity and live it up. (This looks like a cooler version of The Lizzie Maguire Movie. The fact that it has Selena Gomez and Finn from Glee means it probably isn't... But I'll see it anyway!)

Britishly Awesome Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

The Young Victoria. A film that chronicles the life and love of Queen Victoria of England. (This movie was brilliantly acted by Emily Blunt and Rupert Friend. I loved every single second! Watch it. Watch it now!)

Movies to see:

Larry Crowne, Monte Carlo, The Young Victoria

Trailers of the post

Good Neighbors. Three neighbors try to figure out who is raping and murdering women and cast suspicion on each other. (I was sold at Scott Speedman and Jay Baruchel. The story seems kind of fishy, but it has the potential to keep me guessing. Even though they might have showed Scott Speedman walking in the trailer and given everything away, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt. Because who would be stupid enough to do that?)



Fright Night. Colin Farrell is a vampire. (If that doesn't make you want to see it, then you have absolutely no ironic humor. This movie is going to be so stupid it's amazing!)

Name 7 Emily Blunt:

The Devil Wears Prada, The Jane Austen Book Club, Sunshine Cleaning, The Young Victoria, The Wolfman, Gnomeo & Juliet, The Adjustment Bureau
