New DVD Releases for the Week of August 25 2009
Here is a list of the new DVD Releases for the week of August 25 2009, as well as my intentions to buy, rent, watch on TV, or skip (for TV on DVD releases head over to Daemon's TV):
Adventureland
Synopsis: It's the summer of 1987, and James Brennan (Jesse Eisenberg), an uptight recent college grad, can't wait to embark on his dream tour of Europe.
But when his parents (Wendie Malick and Jack Gilpin) announce they can no longer subsidize his trip, James has little choice but to take a lowly job at a local amusement park. Forget about German beer, world-famous museums and cute French girls-James' summer will now be populated by belligerent dads, stuffed pandas, and screaming kids high on cotton candy. Lucky for James, what should have been his worst summer ever turns into quite an adventure as he discovers love in the most unlikely place with his captivating co-worker Em (Kristen Stewart), and learns to loosen up.
Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Ryan Reynolds, Martin Starr, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader
Director: Greg Mottola
Recommendations: I really loved this movie when I saw it in theaters and it's definitely worth owning.
Buy it: ADVENTURELAND on Amazon
Movies Coming Out This Weekend March 27 2009
Wondering what movies are coming out to theaters this Friday, March 27? Here is a list with our recommendations (which you can take or leave, it's up to you).
DEFINITELY WATCH AT THE MOVIES
Monsters vs Aliens
It seemed that Monsters vs Aliens' March release was so far away, I cannot believe it's already here. And of course that means that I am hyped up to go and watch it.
The Mysteries of Pittsburgh (Limited)
I recently posted the trailer for this and was really psyched to go and watch it. Although I probably will have to wait a week for it to be released in LA on April 4th. This week it will be released in New York.
Little Ashes (Limited)
Robert Pattinson before Twilight, come on I gotta see this! But more seriously, I posted the trailer a while back and was really intrigued by the movie, it looks like some great acting there.
DEFINITELY RENT
Goodbye Solo (Limited)
I just found out about this movie, and from the looks of the trailer I think I might enjoy it, although I am waiting to hear a little more about it. (Goodbye Solo opens in New York and Chicago this week.)
The Education of Charlie Banks (Limited)
I am curious about checking out The Education of Charlie Banks, but I think my plate is pretty full this week, so it might have to be a rental.
HELL WILL FREEZE FIRST
The Haunting in Connecticut
Oh look another horror film that I won't be seeing.
12 Rounds
Well, the casting pretty much killed it for me. But I'm sure some people will totally love it.
