Leap Year


Overly perky Adam Adams stars in yet another stupid chick flick. Why do people go to watch extremely predictable and boring movies? Out on January 8, 2010.

Dear John


Another sappy Nicholas Sparks book makes it way to the screen. Aside from looking at Channing Tatum I don't know why anyone would want to watch this. Out on February 5, 2010.

Did You Hear About the Morgans?

When the title is longer than the trailer you know you're in trouble. Gee, husband & wife hate each other & are getting divorced - but wait...they witness a murder & have to be in witness protection with each other? Wow, wonder how this will turn out?! Did I mention how irritating Hugh Grant is? Separate yourself from any thoughts of seeing this movie.

Toy Story 3

Toy Story 3? Are you freaking kidding? Pixar please stop the insanity! The only good thing I can think of is it sounded like all the original voices were back but please - an original idea? Maybe? Huh? More of a plague than "The Crazies". Two Lego's Down!

Alice in Wonderland

Tim Burton, Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter & small bottles of mysterious liquid that says "Drink Me"? Well, feed my head & where do I sign up for that cruise! Bonus! Michael Sheen voices the White Rabbit! Go Team Michael! What? That's not enough? Well, how about Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar & Christopher Lee as Jabberwock! Thank you sir, may I have another? Two definite thumbs up!

The Crazies


A reinvention of a George Romero movie. Small town inhabitants turn to zombies after a mysterious toxin contaminates the water. Diseased undead? Well, sign me up!

Old Dogs


John Travolta & Robin Williams frolicking with kids Robin didn't know he has? Gorillas, penguins with attitudes & Seth Green? Oh My! Stay away from this rabid dog of an "old fart" movie!

The Men Who Stare At Goats


George Clooney, Ewan McGregor and Kevin Spacey star in this crazy romp, based on real life events, in which the US military attempts to train certain soldiers to use paranormal powers. Looks like it's entertaining and well-made. Out on November 6, 2009.

Law Abiding Citizen


Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx star in this thriller where Butler's character seeks vigilante justice for the murders of his wife and daughter. Looks like it could be a decent action movie. Out on October 16, 2009.

Sherlock Holmes


Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law star as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Looks like a fun action/adventure romp directed by Guy Ritchie. Out on Christmas 2009.

This Is It


Behind the scenes footage from the concert tour Michael Jackson was planning before his death. Looks like good music and dancing from one of the most talented performers we've ever had. Out on October 28, 2009.

2012


The story of the few survivors after a global cataclysm rocks the world on 12/21/2012 (the "end of the world" according to the Mayan calendar). Looks like an awesome sci-fi movie with sweet special effects. Out on November 13, 2009.

When In Rome

Kristen Bell plays a girl who steals four coins from a reputed fountain of love and ends up with the four men who tossed the coins pursuing her. It's supposed to be a romantic comedy but looks like it's going to be extremely painful to watch. Out on January 29, 2010.

The Blind Side


Sandra Bullock is back with what is supposed to be a heartwarming film, but what in reality looks like torture. Someone stop her, her pathetic accent, and her bad hair. Out on November 20, 2009.
