Movie Recommendation for the Week!

Ok. The movie to see this upcoming Friday is....

Brothers.

This might just be me but I think Toby Maguire trying to be serious is kinda funny. The fact that his real life friend, Jake Gyllenhaal, is playing the role of the friend who sleeps with his wife is funny.

The premise of the story is based off a foreign made film. Toby Maguire goes off to fight and is presumed dead. Jake swoops in and sleeps with his wife. Unfortunately, Toby shows up and starts to rage once he finds out Jake has been sleeping with his wife.

There is no consensus on the film yet, but so far it has a 60% rating on RottenTomatoes. This could change in either direction before Friday. So in the meantime, you can monitor this on the site.

This movie could be runner up for 2nd biggest comedy of the year, next to 2012.

Movie Recommendation(s) For the Week!

Ok. There is not much out there to speak of. I know this is offensive to fans of the Twilight Series and the new movie: New Moon.

But, the movie did not get a good review which I am sure will be disregarded heavily by fans.

So, I will recommend three movies and you can choose between them.

1. Blind Side- 68%
2. The Sun- 90%
3. Defamation- 90%

The percentages are the feedback that came from RottenTomatoes.

Also, check out the movie 2012. It may go down as the Biggest Comedy of the Year. (Irony)

Movie Recommendation For the Week!

The Movie that Everyone should see is...

Precious.

Consensus: Precious is a grim yet ultimately triumphant film about abuse and inner-city life, largely bolstered by exceptional performances from its cast.

My 2 cents: I have heard really good things about this movie. Check it out. This is a great trailer.

Movie Recommendation For the Week!

It seems that this week, there is not much to talk about but the best reviewed movie was

The Men Who Stare at Goats

Consensus: Though The Men Who Stare at Goats is a mostly entertaining, farcical glimpse of men at war, some may find its satire and dark humor less than edgy.

Here is a Sneak Peek at Something Interesting: Prince of Persia Trailer!!!

Movie Recommendation For the Week!

Go see The House of the Devil! Here's why:

Consensus: Though its underlying themes are familiar, House of the Devil effectively sheds the loud and gory cliches of contemporary horror to deliver a tense, slowly building throwback to the fright flicks of decades past.


This consensus comes from RottenTomatoes.com- This movie received an 86% rating. Even though Halloween is over, you can still go and enjoy a scary movie.
