Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides leaves some things to be desired. It’s got pirates, mermaids, and Ian McShane and yet, something is still missing.

Winning??? or Not! We let you know if we were able to get past the crazy to enjoy this great movie that just happens to feature Charlie Sheen. We love Platoon, but Charlie is insane!!!
The Resident has potential, but it never really lives up to the high level of creepy that I was hoping for. There are so many dull spots that the good stuff almost pales in comparison to the nothingness that fills the spots in between.
If you like the macabre, you may want to check out After.Life. While it has plenty of good moments, the film isn’t perfect and the sound on the Blu-Ray is enough to drive anyone crazy.
True Blood: The Complete Second Season is a must have for fans of the hit HBO Series. True, it’s not as good as the first season, but it gives plenty of reasons to watch and hope for a more reliable third season. This box set offers great quality episodes and a number of fun special features. We highly recommend picking it up.
The Basketball Diaries on Blu-ray is kind of like Christmas in April. This Blu-ray offers good quality, fair special features, and an excellent movie that deserves to be watched.

Meryl Streep has the ability to strike up an array of emotions when she’s on screen. Still, never have I felt such a strong emotion for her as I did while watching Doubt. I’ve watched the movie more than once and each time I feel differently towards her character. I’m either passionate for her cause or I want to smack the crap out of her character until I knock sense into her head. If an actress can make her audience feel that way, this means she’s doing a superb job!
Doubt was one of the best movies I’ve watched this year. The acting is superb. The plot is tightly woven, yet open to interpretation. The movie is stellar in every aspect from the film’s adaptation from the stage to the care that was taken to make the film as realistic as John Patrick Shanley wanted it to be in an attempt to make the setting identical to that of his childhood.
You don’t need to be a Catholic to enjoy Doubt. In fact, in light of all the scandals that have plagued the Catholic church in the past several years, people of any denomination will get something from watching Doubt. The movie is poignant and whether you agree with one side or the other, you will have extremely strong feelings for whichever side you support.
