Shameless Plug of the Week

Hey Movie Crew,


Before the weekly update goes out later tonight.  (With reviews of Salt and The Other Guys, to follow this weekend).  


I wanted to alert you to a GREAT deal going on the internet right now.  A company/website called Weekly Cinema is offering fantastic deals on Movie Tickets.

For 15.99/month they email you vouchers for movie tickets up to $14 in value.  I signed up (since I care about the Crew Members so, so, much) risking identity theft and embarrasment for the sake of cheap movie tickets.

To my surprise and delight this darn thing works!  I have attached a video below that explains the process





I was able to take my lady to go see "The Other Guys" for only $13.00, and if I paid full price my tickets would have been $31.  That's a savings of $18!!!


If you see at least one movie a month with a friend or SO, this deal is WORTH it.  It's basically Netflix, but for people who actually like going to the theater.


Check it out! Plus you get a free hi-res trailer for "The American" coming out tomorrow!

Opening Friday August 20th, 2010

Alright so I'm in flight so I have like 4 minutes to post this.  Anyways here is what you should be watching this weekend.

Piranha 3D



Casey's Quick Take:  Fish, Babes, Bikini's and Ving Rames.  It's like Pulp Fiction with Bite!  Or not.  This is possibly the worst take ever.

Plus I watching Jersey Shore on Virgin America's TV service so I'm a bit distracted by Awesome.

Opened Friday August 13, 2010

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World


Charming and affable Scott Pilgrim falls for Ramona and has to fight her seven evil ex-boyfriends.





Casey's Take:  A Hipster's Wet Dream

The Expendables

The beefiest action stars from the Regan era team up (finally?) to wreak havoc against some poor 3rd world nation.

Casey's Take:  

Eat, Pray, Love

A pre-menopausal woman takes a vacation and has gelato with a european man . . . . .and sometimes they dance.

Casey's Take: Your Mom's wet dre . . . .er . . . your Mom's 401(k) plans. . . .

Opened August 6, 2010

The Other Guys


Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are the cops you don't see in the movies . . they're the "Other Guys"



Casey's Take:  Here's the first draft of the script of this movie.

ENT. Police Station

Mark Walhberg

"Hey, how's you mother doing?"

Will Ferrell

"AAAAAAAArrrrrrrrgggghhhh"

[Explosions and falling down]

END

Brotherhood

Two men thrust *wink* together in Neo-Nazi training camp overcome hostility and deepen their mutual admiration for each other until it leads to passion, threatening both of their lives.

Casey's Take #1:  Neo-Nazis and Gays . . .together at last.

Casey's Take #2:  It's like Brokeback Mountain, but y'know with more Nazi's. Guaranteed to win 40 Oscars.

Cairo Time

A woman waits for her detained Husband in Cairo and slips into an affair with a handsome local . . . 

Casey's Take:  Don't worry white women, if a Black Guy doesn't fall for you in your 20s, a middle-aged foreigner will in your 40s.

The Oxford Murders

Frodo applies to Havard and with his strong grasp of logic teams with his professor to solve increasingly complex murders.

Casey's Take: The DaVinci Code without the whole "religion" thing as a plot device . . . so it's probably good.

Lebanon


A depiction of the 1982 war between Israel and Lebanon as told from the perspective of an Israeli Tank Gunner.





Casey's Take:  You will probably be as tense watching this movie as the first time your parents had family movie night watching Dick Tracy and that Madonna scene where she comes out all naked happens.  I still cringe thinking about how Angry my Mom and Dad were at Warren Beatty.

The Concert

A Janitor who is a former Conductor engages on a madcap mission to put his old Orchestra back together to hijack a concert.

Casey's Take:  Don't let the synopsis throw you off, your Mom will LOVE this movie.

The Disappearance of Alice Creed

A woman is kidnapped and held for Ransom until something unexpected happens  . . . 

Casey's Take:  Grippingly Twisty Thriller could also be an allegory for masturbating at your in-laws house over Xmas break.

Also, you might remember Gemma Atherton for her prescient scene in "Quantum of Solace" as the perfect allegory for BP raping the Gulf of Mexico.

If you're confused, she's the Gulf of Mexico, the Bed and floor are the coastline, and the hotel room was paid for by *mostly* Republicans.

Twelve


Rich Boarding School kids from New York get pulled into the world of fake hard drugs and power.





Casey's Take: "Kids" with 50 Cent and a plot.

Step Up 3D


Just like Step Up 1 and 2 with no Channing Tatum and more "In Your Face" dancing.





Casey's Take:  Probably the best movie ever made. .  . 

Opened July 30, 2010

Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore

Err . . . the poster should be enough to describe this one.

Casey's Take:  Even your kids will demand your money back after this one.

Charlie St. Cloud

Zac Efron uses his dead brother as a device to practice monologues on picking up girls.



Casey's Take:  Zac Efron did the Taylor Lautner Plan and got buff for a terrible movie

Dinner for Schmucks

Paul Rudd buddies up with Steve Carell to have awkward dinners are fancy people's houses

Casey's Take: Just like Dinner at Mel Gibson's House . . . . Zing!
