Updated with the strong direct-to-video title Stark Raving Mad and the weak Battle Royale II (which should have a region free DVD release by the end of the year).

Updated with Un couple épatant (

¼), the "first" movie from Lucas Belvaux's "Trilogy", though it will be released second in the US. More info in the blog and/or alterna-thread.

Updated my list with Barbershop 2: Back in Business (an entertaining 80%) and The Butterfly Effect, a VERY enjoyable thriller that resonated powerfully with me, 90%.

Updated my list with the documentary/adventure film Touching the Void. A fantastic film and one should see it if it comes to their city.

Updated with the following:

Highwaymen- This deserved a much better release.
Haute Tension- Fantastic gem that truly is a throwback to the 70s.

Updated my list with upcoming titles and the rating for Club Dread.

Updated with the new teen comedy Eurotrip. The film is an enjoyable fast-paced sexual innuendo filled 90 minute comedy that is pretty good to watch on a rainy day in an empty theater (like with me here in Vegas).

I will update later with sneak preview showings of The Girl Next Door and Starsky and Hutch.

I predict come March 12th that I will be getting a lot of shit for this...

...but I just gave a film directed by the director of The Animal and the writers of National Lampoon's Van Wilder four stars. I loved The Girl Next Door which is a hard-R rated teen movie with lots of heart. The film which relies on no gross-out humor (but it does have the sex jokes here and there) and it works pretty damn well and captures the spirit of such films like The Last American Virgin.

And by saying I loved it, the film's going to fucking tank.

Greatest line from the film:

Why wait for March 12th?

I also saw The Girl Next Door tonight

A good first half hour or so doesnt make up for the complete "pull it out of my ass" last couple of reels. I will admit that this film is freaking Fellini compared to Welcome to Mooseport , the other film i saw today. One can only hope that Ray Romano is the next David Caruso.

I also saw The Dreamers this week , a film that just flat out kicked my ass. Big update coming in the next couple of days if i get around to it.

I hate you Bill Harris. You made me cry.

Anyway... I updated with the latest from Todd "Road Trip and Old School" Phillips, Starsky and Hutch. An "okay" film with few laughs here and there. I was expecting more with the director and cast involved with the film.

If anyone says it was better than The Girl Next Door, I'll beat the fucking shit out of you.
