127 Hours: You know, for the longest time, I thought the notion of a movie that culminates in a man cutting off his own arm was too unbearable to consider watching it. After watching James Franco host the Oscars, though...
Faster: The Rock and Billy Bob Thornton (whatever happened to him?) star in this action movie about an ex-con seeking revenge for his dead brother. You see, the stakes are high because they were involved in a--You know what? It's hard to talk about "stakes" in any movie when you were just thinking about a guy cutting his own arm off. Now, THAT'S "stakes."
Love and Other Drugs: From what I gather, there are plenty of body parts visible in this romantic dramedy, but fortunately, they're all attached to one and/or two people. Seriously, to hear the hubub about Anne Hathaway being naked in this one, you'd think she showed up naked on a white horse as the opening credits rolled and didn't put on any clothes before the "no animals were harmed in the making of this movie" disclaimer. Oh, yeah, there's a dude in it, too.
Burlesque: There are some movies in which you hope for some nudity from certain performers (see previous entry). Then there are some in which you hope they keep their clothes on (see this entry).
Leave it to Beaver Season 6: Let's get to more wholesome pursuits, like Shout Factory's release of the final season of this classic sitcom, wrapping things up for those who didn't purchase the big ol' complete series box set. It's nice to report a positive item every now and then.
Alonzo Bodden: Who's Paying Attention: I saw this on Showtime a few weeks ago and was impressed. It's a solid hour or so of comedy from a solid performer.
