Home Screening Room - Gatsby, Pain, Gain and Anarchy

Movies, movies, movies – this week has a bunch of pain…and you may also gain!

Big Releases from Theaters

The Great Gatsby – Rated PG-13 (Leonardo, DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan)

Pain and Gain – Rated R (Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson)

Two decent size releases this week that found an audience in theaters earlier this year. The DiCaprio led version of Gatsby and flashy with a twist. Diretor Baz Luhrman adds a different soundtrack that gives scenes in the film a whole different vision. And I love Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson so even if they aren’t in a movie that will win awards of any kind, I have to see it.

The Walking Dead: The Complete Third Season – Not Rated

Wow, TV to DVD is heating up this week with a couple extremely popular broadcast and cable series’. For fans, The AMC series The Walking Dead and FX series Sons of Anarchy may rule the roost this week. But they are not alone as the 9^thseason of Grey’s Anatomy offers up some special treats and the first season of Elementary will have everyone sleuthing. But for me, I’m about the movies…which should surprise no one. At Any Price looks like an interesting film feturing Zac Efron and Dennis Quaid. But the one that my daughter loves in the library….Super Buddies! With her love of dogs, the buddies are back and she has to see them!

Final Score

The Great Gatsby is a new telling of a classic story and is worth adding to the collection. PLUS – I’m curious as all about Pain and Gain. And finally, Super Buddies looks like more buddy fun for my nine year old.
