The Master – Rated R (Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams)

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 – Rated PG-13 (Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner)

The biggest release of the last couple weeks is Argo. I named it the Best Picture of 2012 and of course, now the Academy agrees. Congrats to Ben and the whole team on that one. Check it out now on Blu-ray//DVD. Sinister surprised for a horror film and could be worth a peek for some. The Master is a master class in acting throughout, even if the film itself falls a little short. And of course, I know many that can’t wait to pick up the final Twilight film.

That will teach me for missing a week. A HUGE amount of titles…wading through them…How to Survive a Plague is a documentary that my be worth your time. My daughter really wants to review the new Barbie (So you just may see that online in the near future).

And the curious title for me…is The Package.. How about a peek at the trailer below? Let’s take a look at that trailer below… The Package – R (Steve Austin, Dolph Lundgren)

Final Score

Argo is the must add to the collection even though my daughter is hard down to get to Barbie in the Pink Shoes..she’ll appreciate my choice soon.
