Stay - This was a very weird movie. I couldn't figure out what was happening until 3/4 of the way though. Very interesting though. Kid goes to see a psychiatrist and tells him he is going to kill himself. The psychiatrist then tries to track him down and save his life. I won't spoil it but it is worth a rental.
Because I Said So - Staring
Mandy Moore in a mother/daughter film about happiness in relationships. It was OK, I would probably recommend it for the women out there but only as a rental. Not worth seeing in the theater.
Karla - Based on Paul Bernardo and his wife, Karla Homolka who kidnap, sexually abuse, and murder three young girls.
Laura Prepon did an amazing job in this movie though it was very, very disturbing. Very violent but not graphic, most of the "bad" stuff (killing, sexual abuse) aren't shown on the screen but voices are heard. Not for the weak but worth a rental
The Queen - A take on what the queen did and how she reacted after Princess Diana's death.
Helen Mirren was freakin amazing as the Queen and it was an excellent movie. Definite rental.
Cocoon: The Return - Despite warnings from friends I sat down and watched this. They were correct in saying it isn't as good as the first. I didn't really enjoy it but hey, at least I have seen both now.
The Covenant - Bad, just plain BAD. Like a ripoff of Harry Potter meets the Highlander. Enough said.
The Night Listener - Based on a true story of a radio show host who starts speaking to a young boy and fan of his show by telephone. The background that the boy comes from and the book he has written intrigues the host and wishes to meet the boy. The host becomes suspicious after several attempts in meeting and decides to try and find him. Worth the rental.
Bandidas - Bad! Robin Hood featured in Mexico with two women. Avoid.
Farce of the Penguins - For being a "Farce" it wasn't all that funny. Imagine March of the penguins with comedians doing voice overs. Had a couple laughs but not worth noting.
