Source Code

Jake Gyllenhaal headlines this sci-fi time-travel thriller directed by Moon's Duncan Jones from a script by Ben Ripley and Billy Ray. A bomb explodes on a Chicago train, derailing the locomotive and killing hundreds. In an attempt to identify the bomber and prevent another, larger attack on downtown Chicago, Captain Colter Stevens (Gyllenhaal) agrees to take part in a clandestine government experiment dubbed "Source Code," which allows him to enter the body of a male passenger during the eight minutes before the man is killed. But during his first trip back, Capt. Stevens fails to gather enough clues to prevent the second attack. With time quickly running out, he repeats the mission ad nauseam in a desperate race to head off one of the most deadly terrorist attacks ever to take place on American soil.


Steph... This movie was ok. It was interesting, and better than most, but it was just alright. The only reason to watch this movie is for Jake. He's always fun to watch :)

Kris... It was good but not great. Gyllenhaal was solid and the story had me interested through out but it was missing something to put it over the top. Still its worth checking out.

All Good Things

INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY of the most notorious unsolved missing person’s case in New York history. ALL GOOD THINGS is a love story and murder mystery set against the backdrop of a New York real estate dynasty in the 1980s. Produced and directed by Andrew Jarecki (director of the Academy Award®-nominated Capturing the Friedmans and producer of Catfish), this psychological thriller was inspired by the disappearance of Kathie McCormack, wife of real estate heir Robert Durst. Mr. Durst was suspected but never tried for killing his wife Kathie who disappeared in 1982 and was never found.

Steph... This movie was good but kind of long. Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst did a really good job. Ryan Gosling was especially good at playing a psychopath (he went from totally normal to bat shit crazy within the course of this film). Because this movie is based on true events it makes the ending even more sad. All and all I think this movie is worth a rent.

Kris.... I liked this one. But ill say I liked the first half more than the last. Ryan Gosling is one of the best actors around and he shines here again. I usually refer to Kirsten Dunst as the girl with the dead eyes. But here she is actually good.So for the two performances and a good story I say check out All good things.

Insidious

A family looks to prevent evil spirits from trapping their comatose child in a realm called The Further.

Steph... Super creepy. I thought this was just going to be a cheesy horror flick but it was really scary. But there were some scenes where the parents really frustrated me. For example, if I thought I saw some creepy stranger in my child's room, I'm calling the cops. I don't care if you think I'm a lunatic. I'm calling the cops. Plus, I don't think the dad fought enough at the end. Kris and I both agreed that if some entity was threatening our child, that bitch wouldn't stand a chance against us. I'm not waiting for you to go after me. I'm going to find you and take you out. Nobody threatens my "some day future child." Lol. Sorry. I had to rant for a moment. But anyways check this movie out, its scary.

Kris... This one is pretty scary. Good acting and a creepy story. It was really annoying that they never called the cops. But if you like horror movies then this one is a must see.

Hobo with a Shotgun

A homeless vigilante blows away crooked cops, pedophile Santas, and other scumbags with his trusty pump-action shotgun.

Steph... Rutger Hauer how I missed you! This movie delivered everything it promised. Its definitely not supposed to me taken seriously. It was just a fun, over the top violence, silly, crazy movie. Plus, there are memorable movie lines you can say to your friends for weeks to come. Definitely check this one out.

Kris... A B-movie horror delight. Totally over the top gore with bad acting on top. But I laughed through out the whole movie. One high light was a mans head being pulled off and spraying blood like a fountain. Then a hot girl in a bikini dancing in the spraying blood. If that sounds like your kind of thing then you will love this movie.

Rubber

When Robert, a tire, discovers his destructive telepathic powers, he soon sets his sights on a desert town; in particular, a mysterious woman becomes his obsession.

Steph... This movie made absolutely no sense and I really liked it. It was funny and stupid and insane all at the same time. I definitely think this is a must watch if for nothing else then to say that you saw a movie about a tire that kills people telepathically.

Kris... I really don't know what to think of this one. It is a very original idea and the way the film makers made the tired move around is amazing but the concept gets old very fast. When this comes out on cable its worth checking out but you might not make it through the whole movie.

Screw Balls

Frolicking youth comedy about zany high school students set in the 1960s.

Steph... Ha ha wow. This was borderline porn (and a movie night movie). So stupid. The whole plot was about a group of overly horny teenage boys trying to see a popular virgin girls breasts. So stupid.

Kris.... Lots of boobs and stupid humor surrounding them? Yep my kind of movie. I cant believe i had never heard of this one before. I have seen a ton of b-movie/ midnight movies and this one is pretty good. Every this steph said in her review is totally true and yet that is why I am recommending this movie. Just sit back and laugh.

Psychomania

A gang of young people call themselves the Living Dead. They terrorize the population from their small town. After an agreement with the devil, if they kill themselves firmly believing in it, they will survive and gain eternal life. Following their leader, they commit suicide one after the other, but things don't necessarily turn out as expected.


Steph... This movie was awful but you know that going in. It was cheesy and tacky but I didn't have a problem with that. The problem was that it just drags on forever. It was very slow and obvious. The head biker guy made me laugh though. He's the leader of a motorcycle gang but he lives in a mansion with his mother and a butler and all his motorcycle gang ever really does is pester pedestrians . Yeah dude, your a real badass. lol. Not worth watching unless you must see a bad movie.

Kris... I was hoping for more after seeing the trailer before another movie. The story could have been good but the acting isn't great and it never really does any where. About the only thing i liked about it was the British feel over all. But i say you can skip this one.

Green Lantern

A test pilot is granted a mystical green ring that bestows him with otherworldly powers, as well as membership into an intergalactic squadron tasked with keeping peace within the universe.

Steph... This movie was a lot better than I thought it would be. It was kind of cheesy but Ryan Reynolds' charm helps you see past that. Its not a spectacular movie but it was ok. Definitely worth a rent.

Kris... Steph hit this one right on. Ryan Reynolds is on of my favorite actors and he is just about the only reason to see this one.Although I must say that Blake Lively was pretty good too. Its worth a rent.

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2

Harry, Ron and Hermione search for Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes in their effort to destroy the Dark Lord once and for all.

Steph... Before I start my review I just want to give a shout out to Kris who sat through this movie having never seen a Harry Potter movie and not knowing what was going on just to make me happy. Love you babe.

Ok. Now for the review. I really liked this movie. It really lived up to the book. My favorite part of the movie (and the book) was when it was revealed that Snape (the ultimate sleeper cell) was and had always been a good guy. And if you've read the books and seen all the movies how could you not like the end where it shows their lives 19 years later? It was a very sweet sentimental ending. I did have one problem with it though. I think the make up people aged Harry wonderfully, but the other 3 not so much. Really it's just a minor problem. So if you're a Harry Potter fan this is a must see!

Kris... Having to seen even one moment of any of the other potter films i must say i was under whelmed by this one. The action was ok and the actors were ok. Ya this whole movie was just ok. If you have seen the rest then you might as well finish off the series but if you haven't seen any of them then go ahead and skip it. Unless you totally love your girlfriend then do as I did and take her to see it.
