Oliver Platt

Movies out Friday

30 Minutes or Less - Two idiots kidnap a pizza delivery boy, strap a bomb to his chest, and force him to rob a bank for them. (I love all the actors in this movie. It is bound to be ridiculously hilarious!)

Final Destination 5 - A dude has a vision that a bridge will collapse so he saves a bunch of people, but then Death comes back and most likely kills them all. (These movies are pretty terrible acting-wise, but the cool ways they kill people is funny and the gore is so stupid it's awesome. So, yes, I'm going to see it.)

Glee: 3D Concert Movie - If you didn't get a ticket to the concert in real life, slap on some 3D glasses and watch in fear as Rachel's mouth tries to eat you. (Oh, and it's only out for two weeks so get on it! Not...)

DVDs out Today

The Conspirator - A period piece about the aftermath of Abe Lincoln's assassination and the people behind it. (There are some pretty amazing actors in this and it looked vaguely interesting.)

Priest - In a post-apocalyptic world where vampire-like monsters and people with extraordinary abilities fend them off. (The story needs a little work, but the special effects and action were pretty awesome.)

Something Borrowed - A woman is in love with her best friend's fiance and when he admits he feels the same way, the proverbial shit hits the fan. (This was a pretty decent chick flick. Mostly because I love Ginnifer Goodwin and John Krasinski, but I really don't like Kate Hudson.)

Goofy Goodies


Underrated movie of the post:
Three to Tango. An architect falls in love with a client's girlfriend and is mistaken for being gay. (As much as I love Matthew Perry, Oliver Platt really did steal the movie in this one. He is beyond hilarious.)


Movies to see:
30 Minutes or Less, Final Destination 5, The Conspirator, Priest, Something Borrowed

Trailers of the post

Straw Dogs. A couple is harassed in the backwoods somewhere causing the normally reserved man to show his inner-manliness. (As much as I love Alexander Skarsgard, I'm always rooting for James Marsden to get the girl. He's the epitome of an underdog.)



Drive. A Hollywood stuntman moonlights as a wheelman for criminals and when a heist goes wrong he finds himself the target of all the action. (Ryan Gosling is a babe and I really love Carey Mulligan. So this looks like a winner.)
