Tarnation

Filmmaker Jonathan Caouette's documentary on growing up with his schizophrenic mother -- a mixture of snapshots, Super-8, answering machine messages, video diaries, early short films, and more -- culled from 19 years of his life.

Steph... I found this documentary to be really disturbing. There was no real flow to it and no real plot. It was like someone combined home movies and visual acid trips together. I know he wanted to give this documentary a dream-like quality and it definitely had that, but it just makes uncomfortable watching it.

Red State

Set in Middle America, a group of teens receive an online invitation for sex, though they soon encounter fundamentalists with a much more sinister agenda.

Steph... Kevin Smith you know I love you. And I think I can see what you were getting at, but this is a B movie at best. But I have to admit that this movie has a really creepy overtone. Because lets face it, super (overly) religious people are kind of creepy. When all common sense and humanity go out the window, its time to run.

Scream 4

Ten years have passed, and Sidney Prescott, who has put herself back together thanks in part to her writing, is visited by the Ghostface Killer.

Steph...Eh? Like most horror films common sense need not apply. Example: That lady who had Ghost Face on her car and when he jumps off and disappears she doesn't drive away, or call the cops, or look for some sort of weapon. Nope. She gets out of her car and looks for him! Dumbass.
However, it was an entertaining way to spend an hour and half, but it in no way surprised me or wowed me. I give Wes Craven credit on making an effort on who the killer(s) were. He made an effort in trying to make it less obvious, but if you thought about it, you can figure it out. Example: If the Ghost Face killer has already killed 6 or 7 people, and killed them the second he makes himself known, and he sees you and just ties you up; you're probably in on it. Or if everyone who disappears for long periods of time is butchered. Yet you keep disappearing for long periods of time and you're fine. Your probably the killer. Just saying.

Killer Elite

When his mentor is taken captive, a retired member of Britain's Elite Special Air Service is forced into action. His mission: kill three assassins dispatched by their cunning leader.

Steph... Not to sound sexist, but this is a total guys movie. Stuff happens that is basically an excuse to hurt someone or blow something up with no real conclusion at the end. But at least Jason Statham and Clive Owen are hot.

Paranormal Activity 3

In 1988, young sisters Katie and Kristi befriend an invisible entity who resides in their home.

Steph... Yet again this movie scared the crap out of me! And I enjoyed every second of it! If you've seen the first two you know what to expect. Some of the scares were bolder than in the other movies. And the ending is crazy (you know there is going to be a sequel). The only real problem I have is a lot of the things in the previews aren't in the movie. I think they shot the movie a certain way and then edited it to make it look like the mom had no idea anything was happening. But anyways if you're a fan and you liked the first two, you know you have to go see this! :)

Murderball

A film about paraplegics who play full-contact rugby in Mad Max-style wheelchairs - overcoming unimaginable obstacles to compete in the Paralympic Games in Athens, Greece.

Steph... This was so much fun to watch. I really want to see an actual wheelchair rugby (murderball) game now. Definitely check this one out!

I am Number Four

Aliens and their Guardians are hiding on Earth from intergalactic bounty hunters. They can only be killed in numerical order, and Number Four is next on the list. This is his story.

Steph... This movie was better than I thought it would be but I had some definite problems with it. The lead actor(Alex Pettyfer) was ok but he's character (John Smith) was incredibly stupid. Seriously, if you've seen this movie how did this kid not die? He was told time and time again to lay low and not attract attention to himself, so he would immediately go out and do the opposite. I know he was a teenage boy and they are not generally known for being smart, but seriously dude, common sense. The best part of this movie was the super awesome Timothy Olyphant. How can you not like him? He's a super intense bad ass. It was like "Justified" with aliens (awesome) he just needed the cowboy hat (I missed the cowboy hat). Once his character was gone this movie was no longer interesting. So I guess if you like Olyphant its worth a rental, but don't expect a lot.
