New Release Tuesday

One of the sleepers of the summer.  A group of kids are making a movie during the late 70s on their summer break and one night during filming they find themselves in the midst of a train wreck that leads to much mystery in a small town.  Nice work from director J.J. Abrams that reminds you of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and The Goonies.

This goes down as one of the biggest bombs of the summer in a unnecessary remake that should have not been made especially when Arnold asked the producers to wait for him to finish his term as governor of California.  Original Conan director John Milius has had a King Conan script ready for sometime and Arnold wanted this to be his return to the movies.  Director Marcus Nispel is turning out to be quite a hack that is all eye candy with no substance.

Sons of Anarchy marches on towards the season finale as Clay may have put down this week as Opie found Piney's body and has finally felt Clay's betrayal for the death of his wife and father.  The big deal with Samcro, the Irish. and the cartel is on the verge so it will be cool to see what happens.  Missed last week on Walking Dead so I have some catching up to do.

The Rangers have started the off season with the signing of pitcher Joe Nathan.  He will fill the closer's role and Neftali Feliz will be moved to the starting rotation.  This also means the Rangers will let C.J. Wilson walk as they have offered arbitration and the Rangers will gladly accept draft picks once C.J. lands his new free agent deal.  I think this is a nice move and it helps keep the payroll down and gives them plenty of room to add a big free agent this winter..Prince Fielder anyone?
