I tried at one point to try to keep up with live movie reviews in a few ‘flick fun‘ posts, but clearly that was a greater commitment than my sporadic schedule could maintain. So here’s another stab at movies, a somewhat monthly look at what’s coming out on dvd.
- Dark Shadows (10/2) – I was compelled by my general love of Depp and his peculiar Tim Burton characters and the somewhat cult following of the original show, but can’t give it a wholehearted recco.
- Magic Mike (10/23) – Not your finest fare but a good cheesy escapist flick with a Steven Soderbergh attempt at a story, oh and you know lots of stripper guys if you like that sort of thing.
- Moonrise Kingdom (10/16) – I consider myself a Wes Anderson fan and although I didn’t love this quite as much as a few of my diehard friends, I really appreciated the characters and the visuals and thought it was generally a good time.
- Ruby Sparks (10/30)- Delightful and quirky, the line between fiction and reality is tested in this romance about a blocked early-to-success writer writing his girlfriend, written by and starring Zoe Kazan.
- Safety Not Guaranteed (10/30) – Reporting on or becoming part of the story of someone seeking a companion for time travel, Parks and Recreation’s Aubrey Plaza, The League’s Mark Duplass, and New Girl’s Jake Johnson all add their unique acting chops to this sweet oddball story.
So what do you think of now availables? What are you renting or recommending?
