New Release Tuesday

I have enjoyed the first and the last movies of this franchise and adding the Rock to this entry has peaked my interest yet again.  Cool cars, fast action, and two bald guys fighting each other should lead to some nice mindless viewing for awhile.  This movie was the leading cash grabber until the big summer movies came out and the reviews for this were positive.

Director Wes Craven made a comeback with Scream and it really jump started horror in its day when it was getting a bit stale.  Scream 2 was good enough and part 3 was awful so that put this franchise to bed for awhile.  All involved here (Craven, Campbell, The Cox-Arquettes, and the Weinsteins) have been on a career downer lately so what better way to jump start things by making a sequel.  Reviews were descent on this and it did barely break even at the box office so there will have to be a alot of DVD and blu ray sales to justify another sequel.

Just wrapped up Dexter Season 3 and what a great show.  Dex wrapped up another season by nabbing the killer and getting married.  This should make things interesting for season 4.  Sons of Anarchy keeps on riding and Clay keeps getting deeper into trouble.

The Rangers beat the Rays to advance to the ALDS against the Tigers and I like the Rangers chances because we have a deeper bullpen.  Let's hope Nelson Cruz gets his timing back and solidifies this offense.
