Home Screening Room

This Week’s Big Releases

The Rum Diary – Rated R (Johnny Depp, Amber Heard, Aaron Eckhart)

Johnny Depp stars in this twisted, weird and a bit fun tale of a journalist who heads to the Caribbean and finds some interesting topics and jobs awaiting for him.

Take Shelter – Rated R (Michael Shannon, Jessica Chastain) AVAILABLE Saturday 2/11.

One of the best films from 2011 that you probably never heard of. Michael Shannon is a man that is struggling with visions of coming doom for his family. Because of these visions he takes matters into his own hands to protect and provide for his loved ones.  But do they really need the protection, or are there other forces at work. Jessica Chastain is WONDERFUL, Michael Shannon ROCKS and this film is truly tough!           

Also new this week…

And Finally

The Interrupters – Not Rated (Cobe Williams, Ameena Matthews)

This is the best documentary released in 2011 and one of the best films of last year, PERIOD. The story of the violence interrupters in Chicago that shows you individuals CAN make a difference. These people put it all out there to the youth of Chicago, and sometimes it works while others it doesn’t, but at least they are making a difference in some young lives. You must see this film.

Check out the trailer below.

Pick of the Week

Hands down, The Interrupters is my pick of the week you do need to see this film. But, I also love Take Shelter and was obsessed with the performances from Shannon and Chastain. And…well Beavis and Butt-head are still…cool.

Thanks!
