The Good: This is a comedy from start to finish with a little bit of romance added to it for good measure. The romance occurs where Power gets a girl that would normally be out of his league, one that actually enjoys his love and passion for air drumming. This is a Napoleon Dynamite movie from start to finish where the outcast and geek becomes the hero. You’ll sit in your chair and actually grow feelings for the main character and wish him luck in his journey to become an air drumming legend. I also liked the small part that Adrian Grenier (Entourage) plays as Dallas H, a multimillionaire who plays drums for real but has a love that he hides from his dad for air drumming.

The Bad: As with most movies, its predictable,kind of ridiculous and over the top but that’s what makes the movie so good.

The Last Word: As with a previous movie that I have reviewed recently, its a great date movie that your date actually will enjoy as much as you do. You’ll walk out drumming to your imaginary song in your head. Its perfect timing as everyone things they are a rock star with guitar hero and DJ Hero video games selling like hot cakes.

Theater, DVD, or Cable in a few years: It will be a success in any category but watching it in a theater with surround sound is so worth it!

The Bad: there’s alot of down time between the action. When it starts it goes “full on” from start to finish is when you’re sitting on the edge of your seat. The down time is the only bad aspect of this movie.

The Last Word: This is a horror movie that I actually enjoyed and would see again. The movie does have an open ending as with a lot of horror movies but you will need to see it to find out. Jocelin Donahue, a former model turned actress, does a fine job and will go far in this business if she watches what roles she chooses to ensure she’s not labeled another “scream queen”.

Theater, DVD, or Cable in a few years: Theater or bust! You MUST see this on Halloween.

The Good: This will be the movie of the year. Up to this point, it’s the best movie that I have seen all year in its own category of an action/thriller with a little bit of comedy added in for good measure. This movie will keep you in your seat at all times. The great thing about Law Abiding Citizen is that it’s not predictable at all and when you think you know what’s going to happen, you find out that in reality you have no idea! Then, you are taken back to square one until the end of the movie when the puzzle is solved.

The Bad: This is one of the few movies that I can actually say that I have no complaints about. It was made the right way from start to finish.If you walk out of this movie not satisfied that you got what you signed up for, we’d be really surprised!

The Last Word: Jamie Foxx is in a take no prisoners position. His job matters most and wants to become the DA and he doesn’t care what deal he needs to do to make that ensure it happens. Gerard Butler is a take no prisoner do it yourself Dad and husband that wants revenge. He’ll do what he has to do to make sure that happens.

Theater, DVD, or Cable in a few years: Theater or bust!

The Good: The Surrogate has alot of action and a pretty good story that makes you think how close we are from this movie actually becoming reality.It’s not just an action movie with things being blown up and people being shot but a story that goes a little bit into the future and shows you how,similarily to the Stepford Wives, people can be cloned to becoming perfect. The interesting thing about this movie is it gives you an example of how much we actually rely on technology from I-phones to GPS systems. In this world, they need their surrogate and can’t live without using it.

The Bad: The movie is your typical Sci-fi movie like The Minority Report,The Matrix.,A.I. and especially I-Robot where the robots controlled most of the word we lived in.

The Last Word: If you like Sci-Fi, you’ll love this movie. Either way, you won’t be bored with it because it makes you think.

Theater, DVD, or Cable in a few years: If you do miss it in theaters, you should rent it for some good water cooler talk at the office.

The Good: I was very surprised when I heard the news that Brad Pitt would be playing the main character but he hit the character out of the ball park. The movie is funny, violent, romantic and has a lot of action that blended into one great movie going experience for everyone. Some of the different things that Tarantino does in the movie is making it a chapter movie and that was different. The main hero or character you begin having a love/hate relationship with is Standartenführer Hans Landa aka “The Jew Hunter” who is portaryed by Christoph Waltz. His performance is just impeccable.

The Bad: The movie is your typical Tarantino movie in regards to the very violent scenes in the movie, which is nothing new for Tarantino. I also had a small problem with the movie being very long which also may be a problem for some people that go to the movies. Especially if they have to take a bathroom break! It’s bad not a good situation for those who can’t sit that long because Tarantino really didn’t have any scenes in the movie that you can miss. A break in this 3 hour movie is pretty much impossible. Seeing Eli Roth as Staff Sergeant Donny Donowitz aka “The Bear Jew” was a surprise. I personally believe someone called the “Jew Bear” should be a little bigger then Mr. Roth but regardless, it’s a good character.

The Last Word: All I can say is that Tarantino hit a home run with this movie and I could not get enough of it. The best movie of the year so far in my opinion!
Theater, DVD, or Cable in a few years: This is the movie you should not miss.

The Good: Well as you already know, this short movie tells the tale that you did not know watching the 4^th installment of Fast & Furious and that is what happened before they explosive oil truck heist in the full on motion picture. It was great to see some of the old characters again and Vin Diesel directed this short and did a hell of a job. when I attended the screening at Universal studio’s I actually really enjoyed myself..

The Bad: First, I was confused because when they spoke Spanish for liked 5 min and I thought the entire movie was shot that way. It was possible just a little to short and I wish that they had added maybe 10 more minutes to flesh out a few more details on the story and the characters. I guess that is why you need to watch the full feature to get it.

The Last Words: It shows Vin Diesel as a family man and a lover when Michelle Rodriguez shows up in the last five minutes of the short. I highly recommend that you buy the DVD of the new Fast & Furious and watch the short before you watch the feature.

Theater, DVD, or Cable in a few years: DVD you don’t have a choice.
