DVD Update.....Finally

Ok so sorry its been so long between posts, its been a combination of being so busy and also having nothing really to blog about.

So today I went and splurged a little and bought 8 dvds.

First off I bought
  • The Illusionist - Ed Norton and Jessica Biel. I've heard VERY good things about this movie so I'm excited to watch it. I bought the dvd and got home and the damn thing was not in the box so I had to go back to the store and they replaced it, then after I left I found a tear on the box.....which really, REALLY bugs me. Oh well.
  • Eastern Promises - Viggo Mortensen, Naomi Watts. This movie has sit in Blockbusters for a couple months begging me to buy it and I finally caved. Fingers crossed.
  • Vanishing Point - 5 dollar rack and wal-mart. I think it has a big car chase scene or something....? Dunno. Stepdad said it was ok so I got it.
  • Secondhand Lions - Never seen it but heard it was good. Not much else I know about it.
  • Disturbia - Really enjoyed this movie. I really like Shia Labeouf (sp?) as a young, rising actor.
  • The Backwoods - Gary Oldman. Stars the guy who is the police chief in the new Batman movies. Looked interesting.
  • Gone Baby Gone - Ben Affleck's directorial debut. Not a fan of Ben's at all but heard great things about this movie and have had my eye out for it for awhile.
  • Cloverfield - I was torn about buying this because I've heard alot of good things, but for some reason I get a few nagging people telling me it was not good. I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it so I'm glad I got it.

Note: I know this is really late Sixty but I figured out something I hate in movies today. I hate the shooting in movies. It's so fake to see where actors are running and bullets are going everywhere but into the characters. I know you have to have some action but sometimes it really, really bugs me when bullets are spraying everywhere but where they are "supposed" to be going. Who knew that so many ppl where horrible shots?

Haha! I know exactly what you mean. Like it's really that easy to dodge a machine gun spray?
