Dinner for Schmucks

A company dinner party tradition between strangers gets out of hand rather quickly.  I haven't laughed this hard at the theatre in a long time with all the one liners and goofy story twists.  If you aren't a Steve Carell fan by now, you will be after seeing this movie.

The Runaways

A 1970s teen all girl rock band tells the story of Joan Jet.  Great young actresses in a fast paced drama make this film a success.  An edgy, coming of age biography with all the catchy hits of the time.

Red

Former black-ops agent Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) is threatened by an assassin and forced to track down his old team to help him survive.  An excellent cast of characters make this an action packed film you don't want to miss.  John Malcovich even steals the show with his whit.

Predators

Adrien Brody gained 25 lbs of lean muscle to play the role of a human warrior who battles aliens.  Based off the 1987 version except this one has awful dialog and limited action scenes.  Safer to watch as a winter rental.

The Karate Kid

Jaden Smith (Will Smith's son) stars as a young boy who moves with his mom to China.  There he discovers kung fu through the master and battles the bully from school.  Beautiful scenery since its filmed on location, however the plot lacks creativity.

Public Enemies

American gangsters during the 1930s bring forth a crime wave with plenty of guns and violence.  A sexy cast of men (Johnny Depp included) and lots of action make this a film worth watching.
