Troll 2: A Must-See?

Until about a month go I had never heard of Troll 2. Then I catch some rumblings that Troll 2 is the worst movie ever made...ever. As someone who appreciates a cinematic turd every now and again I thought it worth looking into.

Lo and behold one 0% RottenTomatoes review later I was hooked. I found out the Coolidge Corner theater was doing a show of this gem on a night I had off so I wandered up Beacon and had myself a night. I couldn't get past the opening credits without breaking into peels of laughter with the rest of the audience. One of the best scenes is at the top.

Confused? turned off? Turned on? Check out Troll 2 for more, it will be the worst thing you ever watch, also the villains in the movie are vegetarians. Now available on Hulu.

"Due Date" - November 5, 2010

This movie couldn't look any better. Made by the same people who made "The Hangover," starring Robert Downey, Jr and Zach Galifianakis, need I say more? I saw this trailer before "Inception," which just made the movie look that much better.

Enjoy.

The Weekend's Blockbusters - Inception

Inception. The concept of entering one's mind, deep into the subconscious and planting an idea that they come to understand as their own. Boom, you're already hooked.

Directed by Christopher Nolan (The Prestige, The Dark Knight), music by Hans Zimmer (Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean), and top notch performances by Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Cillian Murphy.

"Inception" is probably the best movies I've seen this year. It has just the right amount of everything it needed: action, comic-relief, plot twists, Ken Watanabe, et cetera. Its an interestingly strange and gripping concoction of philosophy, realism and massive levels of intricate detail that could only work in one delivery, which Nolan does flawlessly. Going into the theater, my biggest concern with the film was if they were going to explain everything to a level that would make me enjoy the movie over trying to keep up most of the time. Nailed it. That's not to say it doesn't leave you with a million questions at the end, however...

This movie will push you to the edge of your seat, have you making ridiculous faces out of disbelief and awe, and will pull you in right from the get-go. Rottentomatoes.com gave this an 85 out of 100, and I'd easily give this movie a solid A. Get out and see it.

Without Further Ado...

To stall everyone while I work on my South Africa write-ups, I present to you the first 9 minutes of "Good Burger"

Big Papi's Top 5 Movies

Sean "The Mayor" Casey interviews David Ortiz on his top 5 all-time movies. Gotta love how Ortiz still can't say the word "analyze," but that's alright. 2 points for a Rambo movie in the top 5, Papi,

Sorry

Just watched 'Shutter Island', and I was not a fan. Sorry everybody. Like I get the whole (SPOILER ALERT, OMG) he's crazy thing, yada yada yada, but it just drags out for way too long, it's really jumpy, I mean, I don't know. Not Marty's best, you know? It's no "Casino." Or "Goodfellas." Or "The Departed."

Not even very entertaining, either. I was looking at the screen puzzled as all hell. My bad, everyone.

We Need Your Help...

The 7 Day Weekend guys are trying to come up with a list of every Tom Hanks movie. AMC had 'Forrest Gump' week this past week, so it got us to thinking...How many other AWESOME movies has this guy been in? We have most of the ones you're probably thinking of, but feel free to comment anyway and name any you can think of.
