It's been a great summer of movies but things are winding down as kids across the country head back to school. "The Dark Knight Rises" as well as "The Avengers" made this a "super" hero summer for the film industry but don't worry, I'm certain you'll still hear about how hard it has been for the studios. No matter, the good DVD's are starting to pick back up after a few lack luster weeks. Let's get started!

The Raid: Redemption (2012)
dir. Gareth Evans

And I thought last week was bad. There are literally no movies this week I recommend, but I will tell you about some interesting things that are coming out.

Hatfields & McCoys (2012)
dir. Kevin Reynolds

This was a good release from the History Channel but it also had some terribly corny moments.

I'm trying to get things on a regular schedule, I'm still off by a couple days and I apologize! Pretty decent picks this week.

The Three Stooges (2012)
dirs. Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly

 When this film was going to star Sean Penn and Benecio Del Toro I was totally thrilled. It slowly devolved into a ridiculous side show, campy, blah blah blah. Might check it now on DVD. Some folks actually claim it's funny.

Sorry for the delay, here are last weeks and this weeks picks. Because of the holiday week things were hectic and because I took a week off last week I forgot about this week! My apologies! Enjoy,

God Bless America (2011)
dir. Bobcat Goldthwait

A satire directed by none other than "Police Academy's" Bobcat Goldthwait. I will give $100 to anyone who names their child Bobcat. 

Well it looks like it's going to be a great week! Lots of good movies are coming out today! Some I was pleasantly surprised by, some where just destined to be great, and some are classics.

The Artist (2011)
dir. Michel Hazanavicius

Jeff, Who Lives at Home (2012)
dir. Mark Duplass

I have not even heard of this, which is odd. I like all the players involved including director Mark Duplass.

Pretty decent week...

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2012)
dir. Guy Ritchie

Robert Downey Jr. has one of the most inspirational comeback stories of all time. With "The Avengers" he added the cherry to his otherwise stellar phoenix-like reemergence. These new Sherlock films are also a big part of it. This one does not disappoint. 

The first episode of 24 Frames is now online!

It's a slow week, but there are some gems here, especially in the "better in Blu" segment.

Goon (2012)
dir. Michael Dowse

Seann William Scott is sort of an analomy, a pretty one note actor but he always entertains. He will never be a Chevy Chase or Bill Murray but he's fun to watch and "Goon" is apparently really funny.
