The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Very long, about 3 hours. Very original, like no other movie I have ever seen. The movie takes you through the life of a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards. The begining and ending are a little more interesting than the middle, but I was entertained the whole time. The last 30 minutes is the most emotional I have ever got for any movie. I would reccommend watching half one day and the other half the next. When youre done, go back and fast forward through the whole movie and you wont believe how many occurences that you watched through the movie. You basically watch his whole life. I give it a: 7 out of 10

Is it on VOD/PPV, or rental?? Sounds like a good movie.

Personal Effects
available at Redbox
I got this movie for my girlfriend and her mom to watch, but 3 days later I ended up watching it with her. The movie caught my attention because it stars Ashton Kutcher and Michelle Phieffer and I had never heard of it. Ashton's charachter's sister is raped and murdered and he comes back to town to be at the trial for the suspected murderer. During his therapy sessions he meets Michelle's charachter who's husband was murdered by thier family friend. She has a son who is deaf and eventually Ashton and Michelle get romatically involved and Ashton bonds with her son, teaching him how to wrestle. I wont give the rest away but in the end nothing really happens and it is just a love story. The whole movie you are expecting someone to get killed or something big to happen, but you will be disappointed. Very good acting and cool to see Ashton and Phieffer together, I wonder what Demi thinks, but that is all I can say good about it. Basically a story that goes nowhere.
Overall I give it a: 4 out of 10

Comcast OnDemand has movies the same day as DVD, so if it's in redbox, it's on Comcast OnDemand.

Taken
I heard alot of people say that they liked this movie, but I am not very big on action movies because I think if you seen one you almost seen them all, so I didnt think I would like it but I did. I think the real reason that makes it better than other action movies is because of the story leading up to when his daughter gets kidnapped. I really felt like I wanted this guy to succeed in getting his daughter back because of the way he was portrayed. You felt bad for him because his ex-wife and daughter are living with the wifes new rich husband who shows up the main charachter at the daughters birthday when he gets her a horse. You feel like he is fighting for a good cause and the way that he will go through anyone, even fellow police to get his daughter back is cool.

The Devil's Tomb
Starring Cuba Gooding Jr. I seen the previews for this recently and it looked very scary and freaky. The plot is that the government has found a hidden tomb underground and they sent scientists to collect data, but now they have not been heard from and they have to send troops in to rescue the main scientist. The troops do not know what is going on down there, but when they arrive they soon find out that it is some type of evil. When they first get there, they start finding these people that are possessed and quote verses talking about sins and satanic religion it is pretty freaky. Twoards the end when the whole plot unfolds it is very confusing and doesent make much sense, plus it just doesent deliver how you thought it would. You expect somethinmg bigger and better but it is just a disappointment.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop
I heard from alot of people that this was not funny, but I thought it was hilarious. This mall cop takes his job very seriously. The mall gets taken over by criminals and they have hostages. The mall cop tries to save them but makes you laugh no matter if he fails or suceeds. It was just a hilarious movie, better than any comedy Ive seen since Borat i think.
no more decimals, just solid numbers, I give it a: 7

Friday the 13th
I was very excited for this movie. My 1st birthday was actually friday the 13th and every fourth year after that. This year it came out on my birthday. But the movie was just o.k. It was not any different than any other Jason movie other than that I thought the way he killed one or two of the people wasnt a way that he would do. I have seen better Jason movies in the past. Nothing special.

Punisher: War Zone
Heard it was good so I checked it out. It was one of the best comic book movies Ive seen. The graphic way people were cut up and shot in it was revolutionary. Very graphic! He even kills women as well. Lots of killing and good fight scenes. Not as unrealistic as youd expect. It is awsome to see how he kills bunches of villians all by himself. Kept my interest the whole time.

He's Just Not That Into You
My girlfriend picked this one. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. It was about all these different people with different situations about thier relationships and they are all somehow connected with eachother. It was interesting to see all the different situations that the people were in and some things in it were funny. The main charchter just couldnt get the clue that all these different guys really didnt like her. The ending couldve been better.

The Haunting in Conneticut
I heard it was very scary. I would say it was pretty freaky and left me thinking about it after the movie but not as great as I heard. Its about a boy who is getting visions because of the house he lives in. He sees these people that have markings all over theyre body and they look really freaky. Some good spots that make you jump. The bad part is that the visions are always fake. And also it is like a bunch of horror movies rolled into this one. Not vey original. Amityville horror, the uninvited and the grudge it is like. But it was still pretty freaky.

17 Again
I did not think that I would like this movie, but it was pretty funny. It was more original than I had thought. Times where the movie seems predictable, it isnt and theyre are certain funny things in it that are good. The whole story is a little corny but it is good for a laugh.

Last Resort
This is a horror movie by Lions Gate. If you know theyre films, they can be very cheap and this one was cheap. It is about a group of girls who go to Mexico, they get taken out to a dessert and robbed and one gets shot. They are left there and come across an old hotel that is haunted by spirits that were killed or tortured there. The spirit drives the girls to go crazy and kill eachother but there is never any visual of any spirit, ghost or monster and in the end the spirit gets the best of them.
