The Namesake - Starring
Kal Penn finally in a serious role. I really can't do justice to describe this movie. All the acting is excellent! Description from IMDB "American-born Gogol (Penn), the son of Indian immigrants, wants to fit in among his fellow New Yorkers, despite his family's unwillingness to let go of their traditional ways." This is a must see and will be a purchase once released to DVD.
The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning - Well they made a back story to how the Dukes got started. If you are thinking, "Man, that sounds like a terrible Idea" you would be absolutely correct. This movie was awful, but again like all the American Pie movies they keep making, Dukes has a TON of T&A. There are a couple good jokes and of course THE CAR. Don't bother straining your arm trying to dig this one from the back of the rental shelf, leave it alone.
Meet the Robinsons - New computer animated movie about a kid inventor who is taken into the future to stop some bad guy in a Bowler hat. Fun movie but made for 2-6 year olds. The story was so lacking that I doubt any other child would like it. Again the best party is the part with the dino "I have a big head and little arms, I'm just not sure how well this plan was thought through" in a weird growly voice. Might be worth a rental to plunk the kids down for a couple hours but that is all.
The Pursuit of Happyness - Staring
Will Smith and his son. Great story. It follows a struggling couple when the wife leaves and the husband tries to get a new job to support him and his son. Forced out onto the streets, he fights for the new job. Really great and worth the rental.
Bobby - The story of Robert Kennedy and the night he was assassinated. This is the most amazing cast in a movie I have ever seen and the story was fabulous. Check out the IMDB page for the list of actors, WOW! This is a must see, especially if you are like me and know nothing of Robert Kennedy. What an amazing man! It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if he had become president and how changed our world would be right now.
Happily N'Ever After - Fairy Tales gone wacky. We find out a wizard and his two apprentices run the world of Fairy Tales. The wizard takes a holiday and the evil step mother from Cinderella kicks the apprentices out and turns fairy tale land upside down. Pretty entertaining and a little funny but nothing I would suggest buying. Rental maybe but make it your last choice.
Epic Movie - Finally back to funny. After all the crappy sequels and that TERRIBLE Date Movie we get this. Good mix of everything, Superman, Narnia, Da Vinci code, Pirates, Wonka, Xmen... list goes on. Very funny, lots of good jokes and the usually language. Definite rental.
I have also started watching The X-files again. Made it through 3 seasons so far and I still love the show. There were rumors flying around this week about a second movie. Not a sequel but a scare your pants of sci-fi kind of thing with Skully and Mulder back on the case. I am crossing my fingers, toes, arms, legs just hoping they make this.
