Home Screening Room – Magic Mike takes it off….HONEST Abe!


Who knew? Abe Lincoln…a Vampire Hunter? Maybe that’s why he was assassinated….hmmm… Ok I haven’t seen the film, so if I just gave away anything it’s a total coincidence. But I will…who could resist… So what does that make Barack Obama…a Wolfman hunter? George W. Bush a Godzilla hunter? Bill Clinton a Mummy hunter (no…that is Brendan Fraser…that’s right). Plus Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey can now “take it off” in your home and a film I really like…Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. Also – a new Madea film, a Disney Fairies title and a powerful and potent documentary.

This Week's Big Releases

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter - Rated R (Benjamin Walker, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Dominic Cooper)
Did you know Abe Lincoln was a vampire hunter? I didn’t? No this is NOT a documentary, at least as far as I know…but it looks like a horror/thriller with a twist.

Madea’s Witness Protection - Rated PG-13 (Tyler Perry, Eugene Levy, Denise Richards)
Madea’s back and is taking in a CFO as part of witness protection.

Magic Mike - Rated R (Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer)
Ummm… Adult Entertainment…Ladies are lining up to get their copies everywhere. And it’s actually a pretty good movie from director Steven Soderbergh.

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World - Rated R (Steve Carell, Keira Knightley, Connie Britton)
Ok, this is a movie I really enjoyed that no one saw…(reflected in the $6.6 million box office). This film has a touch of a comic twinge, a bit of a drama and a little romance all in an end of the world apocalyptic film for you to enjoy. And no large special effects scenes are present!




Also New This Week

16 and Pregnant: Season 4
Crooked Arrows – Rated PG-13 (Brandon Routh, Crystal Allen)
Disney Fairies: Secret of the Wings – Rated G

Rules of Engagement: The Compete Sixth Season
Take This Waltz – Rated R (Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen)
Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines – Rated R – Yep…they made another one.

And Finally

The Invisible War – Not Rated

I got a chance to see this courtesy of the amazing Milwaukee Film Festivaland the 2012 run, come on out and check it out next year. This film is an amazing documentary on sex offenses in the military. It is a MUST see.  It’s not a Republican or Democratic issue; it’s a moral issue. It is a simple case of right and wrong. If a woman (or a man) is sexually assaulted in the military, the accused should be tried as if they would be in society, and if they are guilty be convicted and punished, NOT PROMOTED. Director, Kirby Dick takes us into an area and will make everyone feel uncomfortable, and you should feel uncomfortable and angry after watching this. Here’s the trailer.



DVD/Blu-ray Tidbit of the Week

ParaNorman, my favorite scary animated film of the year…will be scaring up DVD business come November 27 – and yes…Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D releases are planned for that day.

Pick of the Week

The Invisible War is a must see doc, but I wouldn’t add it to my collection. Probably the most repeatable for folks will be Magic Mike, but not for me….hmmm… Let’s just say…SEE The Invisible War.

Pop Popcorn, Do the Diet Dew, and Bust out the Blu and remember to Save Me A Seat!
