Movie Review: The Adjustment Bureau

Throughout history, people have questioned whether or not we have truly been given free will – the ability to choose our own path in the world – or if our fate has been pre-determined and is completely out of our hands. What would you do if you were told that your life is on a path that you cannot control? Would you go along for the ride or would you strike out and try to find your own way? In the new movie, The Adjustment Bureau, David Norris (Matt Damon) must attempt to forge his own path and fight against those who have determined that his destiny has been decided.

DVD Review: Stag Night

Over 100,00 people are reported missing in New York City every year. The adults are never looked for…

In olden times, the night prior to his wedding, the young groom would be sent off into the forest to kill and bring home a stag, to prove he could provide for his family. Now it’s about proving your manhood through imbibing massive quantities of alcohol, and looking at strange, naked women. How dangerous can a night out with friends be?

By Brenda Waldrop

Patrick Rothfuss, author of the international best seller “The Name of The Wind”, and the highly anticipated sequel, “The Wise Man’s Fear”, to be released March 1st, 2011, recently posted an “Open Letter to Nathan Fillion” on his website, suggesting they team up to bring back Firefly!

Ok, it’s a bit more complex than that; in the letter Rothfuss mentions a recent interview Fillion gave to EW.com where he quotes Nathan as saying:

“If I got $300 million from the California Lottery, the first thing I would do is buy the rights to Firefly, make it on my own, and distribute it on the Internet”

In Volume 3 (now available on DVD), the greatest heroes unite in search of the missing fragments of the Infinity Sword.

Movie Review: Hall Pass

Meet best friends Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis). These two men have been married to their wives for several years (played by Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate), but things start going downhill and drastic measures are taken. They are granted a “hall pass” by their wives, entitling them to one week of freedom to do whatever they desire, with absolutely no questions or penalties for their actions (though, little do the men know, the wives venture out to have some single-life-adventures of their own). This scenario is the setup for the new film Hall Pass, brought to you by the Farrelly Brothers (There’s Something About Mary). So how do Rick and Fred fare out in the real world of singledom?
