I just watched Here Comes the Boom with Kevin James and Henry Winkler. It is a pretty fun show. I enjoyed it quite a bit. In this one Kevin James plays a teacher who enters the UFC to save the schools music department and his friend's job (Henry Winkler). Then there is Salma Hayek playing the school nurse that Kevin James' character likes. I think this one is definitely worth the time put in to watch it. I watched this one on Starz On-Demand... now I hope to add it to my collection before too long.

My Thoughts:
Well, this is it. I have finally watched the last of the Harry Potter movies. And I am really glad I did... as I enjoyed every moment of it. This was a very good conclusion to the franchise. Easily kept my interest through-out. Though I was told there was rumors for an eighth book... I see this as possible, but definitely not needed! After watching this one I think it is better off as being done and over with. Anyway this one is well worth the time put in to watch it.. recommended!

My Thoughts:
Even tho' i'm not a huge fan of Tom Cruise, i was interested to check this one out for a few reasons. 1, Tom Cruise in a quite different element then i'm used to see him in. 2, Morgan Freeman. The movie was actually a cool SciFi movie. Great special efects, cool story. And it was nice to see Morgan Freeman again. But I've seen Tom Cruise better. And there was a few spots here and there, that they could have done better. And the movie had amazing sound quality aswell. All in all, a allright ScI-Fi movie. I would recommand you guys to check it out, if you like  ScI-Fi.

Prepare yourself for the most irreverent and funny comedy that brings new meaning to juvenile delinquency!

As the world’s least-likely mentors, Danny (PAUL RUDD) & Wheeler (SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT) must put aside their selfish, sarcastic and party-driven ways to order to give two odd, foul-mouthed kids invaluable wisdom about life, love and heavy metal.

With a supporting cast of comic all-stars including Elizabeth Banks, Jane Lynch, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Bobb’e J. Thompson, ROLE MODELS is "a surprisingly clever comedy" (Claudia Pulg, USA Today}.

My Thoughts:
This one somehow got by me when it came out. I don't even remember seeing a trailer for it before getting the DVD. But I must say, after watching it (the unrated version), I found I enjoyed it very much. I do think it has a bit of a slow start... but it definitely picked up for me... and by around the half-way mark I was completely hooked. There is a few very good laugh out loud moments here. I recommend checking it out if you never seen it.

Stars:

Patricia Clarkson as Lorna
Jenna Elfman as Annie

Richard Jenkins (1947) as Mr. Harper

Plot:
Dylan (Justin Timberlake) is done with relationships. Jamie (Mila Kunis) decides to stop buying into the Hollywood cliches of true love. When the two become friends they decide to try something new and take advantage of their mutual attraction – but without any emotional attachment. Physical pleasure without the entanglements. Sounds easy enough for two logical adults, right? Not so much. They soon realize romantic comedy stereotypes might exist for a reason.

My Thoughts:
I have always enjoyed a good Romantic Comedy... and I am a long time fan of Mila Kunis.... every since her That '70s Show role. So thought it was about time to give this one a go. The first thing I noticed when I popped this one in is that the disc took forever to load. I mean I know that Blu-ray discs take longer to load then DVDs... but this one was ridiculously long. Not sure why... once loaded everything played fine.

An R rated romantic comedy isn't something that is seen often. I usually see these more being PG or PG13. Though this film s a little more sexual based then most of the romantic comedies I have seen. I found the film itself to be a lot of fun to watch. I can't say I actually broke out and laughed out loud. But I did spend much of the movie with a smile on my face. And it did easily keep my full attention from beginning to end. I got a kick out of Woody Harrelson playing the gay friend. I hate to say it but I didn't care much for Justin Timberlake in this film. Mainly hate to say it because he is the male lead in this film... so we see him a lot. I am not saying he is terrible here. But I just wasn't impressed. The high-point for me has to be Mila Kunis. Not just because I am already a fan.... and lets face it... she was hot in this film! But I think she did a great job here... and I really liked the character she played. Then there was a nice surprise when I saw Jenna Elfman (Dharma & Greg) show up for a fairly small part playing Dylan's sister. I always liked her as well. This is a film that I can easily recommend.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to camp... here's even more heart-pounding terror.

Five years after the horrible blood bath at Camp Crystal Lake, all that remains is the legend of Jason Voorhees and his demented mother, who had murdered seven camp counselors. At the nearby summer camp, the new counselors are unconcerned about the warnings to stay away from the infamous site. Carefree, the young people roam the area, not sensing the ominous lurking presence. One by one, they are attacked and brutally slaughtered. Suspense and screams abound in this compelling thriller.

Extras:

My Thoughts:
The second movie in the series is a good one. This one Jason doesn't have his infamous hockey mask yet. Instead it is a burlap sack. I enjoyed this one just as much as the first... if not a hair better. Once again... some good kill effects here. I especially liked how the guy in the wheelchair was taken out. I also liked how this one ended. Definitely worth the time put in to watch it.

My Thoughts:
OK... even though I really wasn't in the mood to watch this one today... I promised the person that gave it to me a review.... so decided to go ahead and get it done. I originally thought I never seen this film before... but too many parts seemed really familiar to me. So I am thinking I must have caught it before at some point... just forgot it. This one focuses more on the werewolves then the vampires for the first half of the movie... creating a love triangle for Bella. I tell you one thing.. watching this one movie... I seen enough shirtless guys to last a lifetime... had to wonder if some of those guys even owned a shirt. I say turnabout is fair play... how about one with almost constant shirtless girls! LOL.

I must say... and I am not surprised... but I didn't care too much for this one either. I actually prefer the first one to this one. But that could be because I like vampires so much. I found myself struggling to finish this one. Though it did have some decent scenes. I do like the continuation of the bad vampires still after Bella. And of course I did like the vampires vs. Werewolves scenes. Just wish there was more of them.

No Extras What So Ever

My Thoughts:
This is a TV Movie that originally aired on Lifetime. It is a true story. I found it to be a very interesting story... and a powerful drama. The storyline easily kept my interest through-out the entire film. I felt the ending was a real bummer. But when it comes to true stories you can't always have a happy ending. This film stars Faith Ford... who I am familiar with from the series Hope & Faith (where she actually played Hope instead of Faith). Another familiar face was Nigel Bennett who played LaCroix on Forever Knight. I feel comfortable recommending this one to anyone that likes a good drama/true story. But keep in mind it is a TV movie and I know some don't care for those.
