Daylight



Disaster in a New York tunnel as explosions collapse both ends of it. One hero tries to help the people inside find their way to safety.

Steph... Ok so this movie is a little older (1996). Normally I don't like Stallone movies but I liked this one. It was a fun entertaining disaster movie. I'd watch again. If you're ever channel surfing and it comes on, check it out.

Captain America




After being deemed unfit for military service, Steve Rogers volunteers for a top secret research project that turns him into Captain America, a superhero dedicated to defending America's ideals.

Steph... This movie was pretty good, better than I thought this was going to be. Seeing Chris Evans as a short, skinny man was very trippy, it took me out of the movie a little bit. But I liked how they took their time with the story and really developed the character. I'd say its worth a rent.

Crumb



A cinematic portrait of the controversial comic book writer/artist and his traumatized family.

Steph... This was a very interesting documentary. Nothing you need to rush out and see. Crumb is a very strange guy but the art work is amazing.

When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts



An examination of the U.S. government's role and its response to Hurricane Katrina.

Steph... This was an HBO documentary and it was very interesting. It examined all the aspects of Hurricane Katrina from before the storm hit, to the aftermath of the storm and lack of immediate help. It was also very long (4 hours)but well worth it.

Gasland



It is happening all across America-rural landowners wake up one day to find a lucrative offer from an energy company wanting to lease their property. Reason? The company hopes to tap into a reservoir dubbed the "Saudi Arabia of natural gas." Halliburton developed a way to get the gas out of the ground-a hydraulic drilling process called "fracking"-and suddenly America finds itself on the precipice of becoming an energy superpower. Written by Sundance Film Festival

Steph... Wow this documentary was crazy. If you can light your water on fire, you have a major problem. This was a good documentary to watch and very informative.

Good Movies


So good and its out on DVD! :)




In my opinion one of the best movies of the year. Comes on on DVD November 15 :)


I loved every single frame of film of this movie. Ryan Gosling was amazing. Plus, the soundtrack to this movie is a must have. I still think this movie is still in theaters. But if you don't get a chance you know I'm buying this when it comes out (movie night!).

Crazy, Stupid, Love



A father's life unravels while he deals with a marital crisis and tries to manage his relationship with his children.

Steph... This movie was so good. Everyone in this movie was wonderful and played their part perfectly. I love how honest this movie was. No one in this movie is all good and no one is all bad. Everyone is flawed like in real life. Definitely check this one out.
