Purchased and watched The Book of Eli and Black Dinamite on the weekend. Black Dinamite had a lot of potential but just fell short somehow IMO. I was very happy with Eli. Wasn't anything like what I was expecting but it was great.
Oh ya also picked up From Paris with Love. Bad... Just bad.

just picked up "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 3D" will watch this on Sunday and give my 3D review 
Saw The Wolfman last night... in summary, the blu-ray picture quality sucks. I don't care if it was intentional but shadows were crushed in nearly all the dimlit scenes and indoor dark spaces.. just f*ckin' ruined it for me.
The audio, however, was nice. Dialogue was clearer than most movies these days and the surrounding soundscape was nice and enveloping.
I will hand it to the movie that it does take advantage of getting you to jump frequently and it is characteristically more intense than the classic style of horror scares we've seen over the last decade a la wes craven (slowly building intense music and then a loud bang with some sort of visual spook). This film takes that up a notch which was nice to see as being a fan of the original wolfman was pretty much expecting the same format.
Acting by Anthony Hopkins and Benicio Del Toro seemed to be just scratching the surface of potential. I honestly think the script held them back.
That's all.

I agree, they both are great actors but the script was seriously lacking. Plus, they looked like EWOKS!
LOL, now that you mention it.. you're absolutely right!
and a gray-haired EWOK at that!
I just had to laugh then.
Picked up: The Hurt Locker
No Country for Old Men (Collector's Edition)
Old Dogs
Got all 3 of em for 20 bucks.
Watched No Country for the first time, It's a pretty solid movie. Old Dogs was ok I guess. Well worth what I paid for it. Just need to watch The Hurt Locker now. Prolly will watch that and The Crazies next.

Yeah we watched it the other night. Had some really funny moments then some really stupid ones.
Eh, The girlfriend wanted to see it. The Way I see it, I paid 10 for Hurt Locker, 10 for No Country and got Old Dogs free.
Have a friend who's mom designs cover art for sony. She gets some free hook ups so she gives him an ungodly amount of Blu's and games. Like for example he has 5 or 6 copies of angels and demons. He turns around and gives us the ones he doesn't want and sells some to us for cheap.
Indeedy sir. I might be mistaken but isn't that the only sony plant in the US that produces Blu's?
This weekend watched:
Brooklyn's Finest (good cop drama)
Universal Soldier Regeneration (better than the previous crappy sequels)
Next on my blockbuster queue is Brothers......

I just ordered Defiance which is a little gem that I bought on DVD awhile back and hadn't realized that it was on Blu-ray already. I just couldn't resist the double-dip. 
I just received The Crazies so I'll be watching that later today.
