Edge of Darkness




The only thing I didn't like about the movie is that Mel's Boston accent SUCKED!


Seriously.

Beyond A Reasonable Doubt




This movie is pretty slow moving, but it does pick up towards the middle. It does have some great twists which I love but you have to be patient!


Synopsis from Rotten Tomatoes:

Synopsis: High profile lawyer, Mark Hunter (Michael Douglas) has an impeccable record putting criminals behind bars and is a shoo-in for governor in the upcoming election. But when ambitious rookie... High profile lawyer, Mark Hunter (Michael Douglas) has an impeccable record putting criminals behind bars and is a shoo-in for governor in the upcoming election. But when ambitious rookie journalist, C.J. (Jesse Metcalfe) begins investigating Hunter for tampering with evidence to secure his convictions, the district attorney’s perfect record is up for scrutiny. Commencing a risky game of cat and mouse with Hunter, C.J. frames himself as a murder suspect to catch the corrupt D.A. in the act.

Romantically involved with C.J. but unaware of his assignment, assistant D.A. Ella Crystal (Amber Tamblyn) becomes caught between her boss’s political ambitions and C.J.’s dangerous exposé. As mounting evidence stacks up against both men, Ella’s own life becomes threatened when she discovers incriminating proof that puts the fate of both Nichol’s innocence and Hunter’s reputation in her hands.

With intricate plot twists ratcheting the tension throughout the film, this gripping courtroom thriller is written and directed by acclaimed director, Peter Hyams (Running Scared, End of Days) and also stars Orlando Jones and Joel David Moore. --© 42 West and Autonomous Films

The Fourth Kind




Do you believe in Aliens? You might after watching this movie! It has some pretty creepy shiz. It's based on a real story and shows actual footage of the real incidents! I loved it.


CA-RAZY.

The Box




Hmmm....I'm still not sure what I think about this movie. It's about a family who gets a visit from a strange man who gives them a box. Inside the box is a button and the man tells them that if they push the button, the will get one million dollars but there's a catch. If they push the button, someone who they don't know, will die.


The family has recently fallen on hard times so they seriously debate about whether they actually believe the old man and whether or not to push the button.


Would you push the button?


Do they push the button? Of course they do, it would be a pretty boring movie if they didn't. But what happens after they push the button?


You'll just have to watch to see!


Mwuahahaha!

Forgive me.

Sherlock Holmes



I guess this show was good, or so my husband tells me. For some reason I didn't really follow the plot very well so by the end I was a little confused. If you watch it, make sure you pay attention!

But I got to watch Robert Downey Junior so it was worth it!

Dexter - Season 3



What's not to love about an intelligent, handsome & charming serial killer? The hubster and I love this show!

Michael C. Hall is just an amazing actor, I loved him in 6 Feet Under and I love him even more in Dexter. Jennifer Carpenter, who plays Dexter's sister on the show, is not my fav. And it totally bugs me that they are married in real life. He could do so much better!

Yeah, I think blondes are more his type. Freakishly tall blondes.

Knowing



This is a thriller about a professor who comes across some predictions about the future and he sets out to stop these predictions from happening. The predictions come from a piece of paper that his son receives from a time capsule sealed 50 years ago at his school.

I liked the idea of the movie and thought it was really good up until the end. The end was horrible and unbelievable. I hate it when directors take a great idea that has potential and the poop on it!

Passengers



You're gonna wanna pay attention in this one. Of course I was running around doing dishes and laundary while I watched it so I had to rewind it and watch it twice.

It's one of those twisty movies ya know? Not sure if I like the twist at the end though. What do you think?

Bag Head



This film was very cheaply made for the Sundance Film Fesitval, it was probably inspired by the Blair Witch Project. It's about four people that are trying to wip up a film for a similar film festival and the wackiness that ensues with the ideas they come up with and the consequences of those ideas.

It's not about much and for anyone who hasn't seen many Sundance Film Festival movies, this one is probably not for you!

State Of Play




Good movie! It's about a reporter who tries to solve the mysterious death of a congressman's mistress. The congressman and the reporter are friends with a rocky history that complicates things during the investigation. Unexpected twists and a surprise ending sum the movie up nicely.

You'll like it.

Changeling



I thought this show was so good! I didn't know what to expect but it definitely kept my attention. Alex was enthralled too and that takes a lot! It's not a happy movie, but I recommend you go see it!
