RECommended Renting - Order of the Phoenix
Thursday, December 13th, 2007This week saw the release of the latest Harry Potter film, Order of the Phoenix, on DVD. Last week saw the completion of me finally reading all seven books. Though I was very much a “Johnny-come-lately” with the Potter series I must say that I was immensely impressed with the experience as a whole. I [...]
RECommended Renting - Superbad
Sunday, December 9th, 2007The generation that came of age in the early to mid-1980’s, is chronicled in the works of John Huges. Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off are staples that define the era. Comedies certainly have a way of doing this. The mid to late 90’s are trimmed with the likes of the Farrelly’s Dumb and [...]
RECommended Renting - SiCKO
Sunday, November 11th, 2007One of the most talked about films of the summer finally was released this week on DVD. Michael Moore’s most recent documentary,SiCKO, stirred a lot of discussion this year about our country’s health care system, and regardless of which side of the fence you sit regarding this matter, discussion in matters like these is a good thing.

RECommended Renting - Knocked Up
Thursday, October 4th, 2007I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. Judd Apatow strikes gold again, with this summer’s hit comedy Knocked Up. It seems that everything that Apatow touches lately has been golden. From 2005’s The 40 Year Old Virgin and another 2007 hit Superbad. I thought 40 Year Old Virgin was hilarious but for my [...]
RECommended Renting - We Are Marshall
Saturday, September 22nd, 2007For the students of Marshall University and the people of Huntington, West Virginia, November 14 1970 is a date that no one will forget. The team charter that carried seventy-five players, coaches, boosters, and flight crew were killed when the flight crash just short of the Huntington airport.
Just released this week on DVD is the [...]
RECommended Renting - Black Snake Moan
Thursday, September 20th, 2007Lost in the shuffle of the disaster that was the spring movie season (Wild Hogs), is a film that might turn out to be one of the best of the year. Black Snake Moan is really a powerful film about redemption, second chances, and a dirty little slut.
Christina Ricci plays said slut in a performance that is [...]
