Let Me In - Unsure if I actually reviewed this or not and I'm lazy / stressed for time. In all honesty I prefer the original to this but this is still a solid film. Strong acting from the young leads and a few changes here and there allow the film to almost be its own. Fans of good horror should check this out. Subtle and haunting. 4/5

Burlesque - I was semi-excited for this but honestly it's the same ole story of a young girl trying to make a name for herself. We have a cranky owner played by Cher, a homosexual played by that one guy who always plays a gay man. With a few solid tunes I can say the film held my interest but it was rather weak for a musical. 2/5

Trong:legecy - Oh man, I couldn't wait for this film. And as such it was a major let down. The first 15 minutes set up nothing of importance but then we enter the digital world and the awesome soundtrack kicks in. We witness some sexy battles ala the original Tron and then the film goes all to hell. It becomes down right tedious to watch. The acting is over the top, the characters are 2 dimensional and much like last years Prince of Persia film, the love plot line feels forced and is unbelievable. The ending also leaves a lot to be desired and for a run time of 2 hours, there is maybe 15 minutes of actgion. Rest of it is talky talky and just repeating the same thing over and over. - 1/5

Why Did I Get Married 2 - Dear Tylr Perry, we know, being blacxk is tough. Being a black woman is tougher. You're only one of these things and while this sequel to mediocre film has a few highlights, nothing you have directed or written has come close to your break out hit, Diary of a Mad Black Woman. If you don't fall into the aimed for audience then please just pass on by. 1.5/5

Love and Other Drugs - typical rom-com featuring Anne Hathaway's boobies yet again and Jake Gylha-whatever's tight little butt. Frankly without the nudity and a half way decent dialog at the end of the film I would have been bored to tears. It's okay in the wadding pool of rom coms but you can do better. - 2/5

Paul - Total geek out here boys and girls. If you're into sci-fi films. If you get jokes like 'Get away from her you bitch" then this movie is for you. Just a very enjoyable film. Sometimes cheesy, over the top plot and script but thats the point. It's no Shaun or Hot Fuzz but still fairly solid. - 3.5/5

Gasland - Oscar Nom docu from my area. Too bad the director has one of the most boring, monotone voices I've ever heard. Plus there's lots of Banjo music... It also shows that NE Pa is full of freaks that will most like go Deliverance on your ass - 1.5/5

All Good Things - Never heard of this. It was a limited release with a decent cast. It's slow, boring and ultimately pointless. based on a true story, yadda yadda. It could have at least been a worth while story. - 1/5

Rubber - The film about a killer tire. It's in your face stupid. It's about a kilelr tire with psychokinetic powers and it jumps into the 4th dimension a few times. Just plain ole stupid cheese. 2/5

Actually, you know what? I'm going to save the SCream post for Thursday, give me something to work on then. I've done a lot of gaming and read and music listening so I'll try and play catch up :-p
