SAR 53

You might be wondering where #52 went if you have been reading my blog... but anyway in the process of converting the reviews to my blog i noticed that i conveniently skipped a number way back at the beginning of the year so I'm just not getting that all squared away back to normal!

but I digress...

WildHogs:

Well, I'm not really a fan of John Travolta but the rest of hte crew was pretty gunny and even John had his moments of humor. If you did'nt know the story its pretty much about a gang of older middle aged gents who decide they are having a mid life crisis and need to get back to their good old days and take a motorcycle trip across country. John is trying to get over a divorce Martin is trying to figure out how to stand up and be a man vs his wife, Willam H Macy is trying to find a girl and Tim The tool man taylor is just getting away for a few days... well, I'm not going to go too much into the movie but here's a hint, it's rated PG-13 and it's a comedy. Take a guess on what happens.....

Anyway, this wasn't a bad movie and it kept my interest throughout so I can't bash it too badly.

Shoeless Rating: and a half

Vacancy: This was supposed to be a horror movie, but to me it just seemed like another Psycho. Hitchcock did a lot for scary movies back in the day but this wasn't much of a stretch and that's unfortunate. You've got Luke Wilson and Kate (smoking hot) Beckinsale and you still can string together a more intense storyline than they are in a hotel filled with backwoods creepy dudes? Anyway, it was creep and disturbing and it has further convinced me that I'll never drive back roads late at night if I don't konw where the heck i'm going... and I'll never stay in a hotel that I can't find on the internet.

Big Nothing:

This is a movie i hadn't heard of before i saw it on the shelf. Its got Simon Pegg the guy from Shawn of the dead in it as well as David Swimmer and they did a great job with all the dry/dark humor. I always enjoy a movie that's filled with crazy twists and random things that you don't really expect to happen.... esp when it's funny and not just added for drama. I enjoyed this movie a lot and thought this is one of those Gems that slips past the main theatres for some reason but I found and enjoyed.
