Movie Poster Thursday- Catfurnado

New Release Tuesday

This movie is awesome!  Really, it surprised me too.  I did not thing you could make a good movie about plastic building blocks that have been licensed to every character you can think of now without it just being a 90 minute Lego commercial.  There is a great combination of original characters along with some well known characters and really good cameos too!  Give it a build!

I saw a little movie called Bottle Rocket back in 1996 because I had read it was a Dallas production and it was from a UT grad starring some local boys.  The quirky, funny movie became an absolute favorite of mine as I am sure it did to the other 4 people in the theater too.  After this scored with critics Anderson’s career took and I look forward to all of them he puts out.  I can’t wait to sit and watch this and I know there will probably be a Criterion release of this in the future but I cannot wait.

Elizabeth Banks rocks so why not give this a shot.  She is in the Lego movie too!

This is another documentary on the adventures of VHS collecting that has become quite a hobby for some enthusiasts.  I myself do not have room for them unless we start building over the garage, hint, hint.

Happy Friday the 13th!

Kick back and watch some Jason tonight!

May the Chuck Be with You

Movie Poster Tuesday- Heartbreak Ridge

New Release Tuesday

The Jack Ryan series is made up of some good movies but for some reason Paramount has screwed themselves with this franchise a couple of times so now we have another reboot.  Chris Pine will be a fine Jack Ryan but I am most looking forward to Kevin Costner’s mentor character, Thomas Harper.  Ryan uncovers a Russian plot to crash the U.S. economy with a terrorist attack.  Directed by Kenneth Branagh. (THOR)

I don’t have HBO but last month my cable company sent me a notice stating that I have HBO free for a month or so, the channel was already activated and OnDemand was also part of the deal.  I checked their schedule and learned I already have all those movies but I noticed all the episodes to True Detective were available.  Score!  I heard fantastic things about the show so Mrs. Gauntlet and I watched this and it was awesome!  And like all great shows it leaves you wanting more.  Matthew and Woody are at the top of their acting game in this as this show should clean up during the TV awards season next year.  Louisiana is marvelous backdrop for this eerie story.

This is a wild and fun ride as action man Liam Neeson stars as an air marshal who must spring into action during a transatlantic flight after receiving a series of text messages that put his fellow passengers at risk unless the airline transfers $150 million into an off-shore account.  This is a lot of fun and a nice who done it action flick.

This is another under-appreciated Eastwood flick from 1984.  Clint plays detective Wes Block who is tracking a serial killer that chooses victims who know or have had relations with Block.  Things get even more bizarre when Block’s daughters become involved and then it becomes a personal vendetta.  A great action crime drama that was directed by writer Richard Tuggle but indications are Clint was the man running this production.  Highly recommended.   Come on Warner Brothers, give us Bronco Billy on blu now!
