This week at the Movies

A very clear choice this week with a mediocre comedy in Grown Ups, or the excellent romantic comedy action mashup Knight and Day featuring Tom Cruise in megawatt smile, action star mode, and Diaz in cute as a button mode and yet still sexy as any actress today.

Movie Pick: Knight and Day

image Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz star in this sexy action comedy, in which a chance encounter thrusts a woman and a charming but lethal operative into a series of adventures across the globe. As if dodging assassins and uncovering world-changing secrets weren't enough, she must now figure out if he is a good guy, a traitor – or just plain crazy. ...

TV Bites with Neena Louise

Neena is back with her look back at the TV year that was from her very own slightly warped, but always hilarious point of view.

Worst Actress
Stana Katic, "Kate Beckett", Castle (Katic continues to drag this show down in its second season. It's too bad, too, because otherwise Castle is a pretty good show.)

Random Stuff that is bouncing around inside my head


You do realize that the Bible was written by the same people who said the Earth was flat. I'm just saying.

Ashley Madison Commercials on Fox News are just weird

How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

In 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it. They failed and it closed. Now we are trusting the economy of our country, our banking system, our auto industry and possibly our health plans  to the same fools who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling whiskey.

This week at the movies

A week to take the kids to the multiplex as Pixar does it again with the wonderful Toy Story 3 (2010) We are slightly disappointed however in Jonah Hex (2010)and are hoping the directors cut will fix what could have been a fantastic movie so we are rating it as a hold off until the DVD title....

Movie Pick: Toy Story 3

image This week's pick in the wide releases is Toy Story 3 as Pixar wows us again.

It is almost unfair how much better Pixar is than any other animation studio. It's the writing that makes the difference as Woody and company manage to teach us all lessons of the heart while entertaining us....

Jonah Hex

image Jonah Hex weighs in at a paltry 82 minutes and feels like it should be 20 minutes or so longer. It's disjointed and what could have been very good is lost. Maybe the directors cut DVD will fix that. We will suggest you wait for that....

This Week at the Movies

A nice week for new releases with four movies opening wide led by Splice and Get Him to the Greek which fought it out for our pick this week with Splice winning out in a close race. There is also Marmaduke for the kids and if you are a desperate Kutcher fan you can go see Killers, although I cannot think of any reason why.

Splice is a deliciously twisted sci-fi techno horror thriller. Yes it is all of those and is destined to become a cult classic as Splice goes places no studio film has ever dared before. The themes in this movie are definitely NOT for children so even if you think your jaded children can see a horror, you better see it first before making that decision.

Our other recommended movie is Get Him to the Greek. Get Him to the Greek rivals The Hangover for pure summer stupid fun. Brand is spot on, and Hill plays the foil brilliantly. This is a good movie that could have been great except for a trying too hard attempt at a serious message.

I hate it when these random thoughts are in my head and when I try and explain it out loud no matter what I say it makes no sense outside of my head...

Things that piss me off

I just woke up, it’s 2am and I just hate when I go to sleep and then wake up and the person next to me is a zombie, so I have to beat the hell out of it. Sorry honey.

Chick fired for being too hot.

voice I am not sure what the hell is wrong with Citibank. Actually I can think of a whole list, but this tops the list. Debrahlee Lorenzana distracted her bosses too much because she was just too beautiful, so they fired her. WTF is wrong with Citi? I think Debrahlee will be just fine, but I am canceling my Citibank account today. Any business this stupid does not get to hold onto my money little though it may be.
