Coming Soon

  • Title: I Am Number Four
  • IMDB: link

This thriller from producer Michael Bay and director D.J. Caruso stars Alex Pettyfer as “an extraordinary teen,” who, when he’s not wooing on Glee‘s Dianna Agron, must hide from a group of killers who must kill nine such extraordinary people in a precise numerical order. (Yeah, doesn’t make a lot of sense to me either. Did I mention this movie was written by Smallville writers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar?) Timothy Olyphant, Teresa Palmer, Alex Pettyfer, and Kevin Durand also star. I Am Number Four hits theaters February 18, 2011.

Castle – Last Call

  • Title: Castle – Last Call
  • tv.com: link

I do love this show. “Last Call” involves a 135 year-old bottle of scotch, a rustic tavern, and murder. This isn’t the best episode of the show (oh, it is a darn fine one!), but it does have a little of everything that makes Castle work including some great moments for its two stars to shine such as this scene between Beckett (Stana Katic) and Castle (Nathan Fillion) before questioning a murder suspect.

Inception still dreamy on DVD

  • Title: Inception
  • IMDB: link

“All that we see or seem,
Is but a dream within a dream.”
–Edgar Allen Poe

I thoroughly enjoyed Christopher Nolan‘s Inception in theaters earlier this year (read the review). His exploration of dreams within dreams and a journey of one tortured soul (Leonardo DiCaprio) to make his way home by implanting a single idea into the dream of a stranger (Cillian Murphy) resonates as well on DVD as it did on the big screen. Out next week on DVD and Blu-ray it’s a great addition to your library.

The one-disc DVD is a little scant on extras (to put it midly). It does contain four short featurettes (averaging three minutes a piece) which include snippets from Nolan, DiCaprio, production designer Guy Hendrix Dyas, editor Lee Smith, cinamatopraher Wally Pfister, and stunt coordinator Tom Struthers, examining the aspect of dreams and the possibilities of the human mind, the japanese castle sequence, the paradoxical pemrose stairs, and the freight train barreling down the the middle of a busy street. Each of these is quite good but not quite enough to satisfy.
