Plot:
What's a high school kid got to do to be popular? Just let down his hair and howl! Starring Michael J.

And when his newfound powers help him score at basketball — and with the popular girls — he has some pretty hairy decisions to make.

Extras:
Scene Access
Feature Trailers
Sneak Peek at "Teen Wolf" TV Series

My Thoughts:

OK... lets face it... Teen Wolf is far from award winning entertainment. But what it is... is good cheesy fun. Something to watch when you just want to sit back and enjoy. It is a real twist on the coming of age story. I think the whole werewolf idea is why I enjoy it so much... I definitely enjoy the monster movies... whether you can classify them as horror or not.

My Thoughts:
Ok, that was fun. Going in to this one, i've seen some trailers and liked what i saw. And the movie started of strong and never let go really. It was a very cool ScFi flick with some pretty cool toys IMHO! And the story was actually pretty cool too. And it was nice to see Tom Cruise in something different. And let me just say that Emily Blunt did pretty good in this one too. And she looked hot as always. Its recommanded.

My Thoughts:
Well, i was in the mood for some silly and stupid action before work yesterday. So i decided to check this out again, since i havent watched it since it came out in 2010. And it is a great action movie. Its a movie where you dont have to think much or pay close attention to whats going on. It is just alot of fighting, shooting, killings and ofc some explotions trough out. And that makes for some good entertainment for me. If you are in the mood for some silly action, this is it.

Well, i have been wanted to see this one for a long time now. And i finally got around to checking out. And going in to this one i guess i had somewhat high expactations for it. But for me the movie delivered. I'm not sure if i will call this a spy thriller. But something in between i think. You get the 'spy' feel. A real intense and suspencefull thriller. They make you guess what will happen next, and who did what. I really enjoyed this one.

My Thoughts:
Well, i had to rewatch the 2nd movie since i just watched the first one again. And once again the big names reunite, and this time they have even added a few more big names to the movie. And again there are some great scenes here and there. Its actually a good follow up to the first one. But still a silly actionflick (in a good way ofc) if you want to watch a movie without too much thinking or anything check it out.

I was in the mood for a spy movie. And i've had this one in my unwatched pile for ever, so i decided to finally check it out. And it was a very different movie then i expected really. It had it moments here and there, but the movie was a slow and nothing much really happened for me. Its not the worst movie i've seen, but not the best either.

My Thoughts:
Well, i've wanted to check out this Bond movie for a while. I dont remember if i've seen it before or not. Thats one of the reasons i wanted to see it. And i'm not saying Roger Moore is a bad James Bond, not at all. But not the best either. And this movie wasnt the best Bond movie i've seen either. The case or story didnt give me the real "Bond feeling" but it was still an ok movie tho. I guess i'm picky when it comes to James Bond..

At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together and even torture at the hands of Le Chiffre. The marathon poker game proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond blood money and reaching a terrifying climax.

My Thoughts:
After watching 'The Spy Who Loved Me' i was in the mood for some more Bond, and i have wanted to see Casino Royal for a while now. Havent seen it since it came out i think. Atleast a few years since i saw it. And it is maby the best (behind Skyfall) "newer" Bond movies. In this you really got back that "oldschool" feeling from when Sean Connery was James Bond. And the bluray was amazing. Picture and sound was amazing aswell. For me it was perfect. I forgot how good it actually was! And ofc a ton with cool extras.

Ofcourse i had to continue. And i dont know what to think about this one really. For me this was more of a sequel of Casino Royale. For me this was more of a action movie than a James Bond movie. Not a bad movie, but not a great James Bond movie either. But i guess i expect just a bit more when it comes to James Bond. Now i'm looking forward to check out 'Skyfall' when i got some extra time. I think Daniel Craig is doing a good job as James Bond so far.

For some reason going into this one I really wasn't expecting too much. I guess because I never heard of it... and first time I ever notice it I find it in a discount pile... only $5 for the blu-ray/dvd combo pack. After watching it I find I enjoyed it. Definitely seen better but it is good enough that I can see myself watching it every year around this time.

Before the movie I watched the trailer. And to be honest didn't know what to think... could have been good... could have been bad. So I went into it a little hesitant. While I found it to be entertaining... it was no more then an average film. There is so many better Christmas films out there that I would recommend seeing before this one. While I feel Reese Witherspoon did a fine job... I didn't feel quite the same way with Vince Vaughn as his seemed overly stiff and forced. Even for the character that he was playing. I really did like the premise of the film... just that the outcome should have been better.

Plot:
The Christmas spirit isn't served up with more heartfelt warmth or observant hilarity than in this beloved adaptation of Jean Shepherd's holiday story. In 1940s Indiana, nine year old Ralphie (Peter Billingsly) dreams of his ideal Christmas gift: a genuine Red Ryder 200-shot Carbine Action Air Rifle. But when gruff dad (Darren McGavin) and doting mom (Melinda Dillon) regularly respond with "You'll shoot your eye out!" Ralphie mounts a full-scale, hint-dropping, Santa-begging campaign. He also endures a slew of calamities from snowsuit paralysis to the yellow-eyed Scotty Farkus affair to the dreaded tongue-on-a-frozen-flagpole gambit. We triple-dog-dare you to unwrap a more welcome Yuletide classic!

My Thoughts:

This one is a fun movie... I definitely enjoyed it. The film has some decent laughs in it. OMG... that terrible gift from his aunt... the bunny pajamas... and the fact that his mother liked it so much was scary as well. I do think the story was over exaggerated... but I believe that was on purpose. After all it was supposed to be a guy telling the story about a childhood Christmas. This movie is a must see during the holidays.

My Thoughts:

This is not normally my type of comedy... but I enjoyed it more then I thought I would. Some good comedy... some of the comedy I found to be a little over the top and tasteless. And I probably would have enjoyed this one a little more if I watched the first 2 movies beore this one. But over-all I would say worth the time put in to watch it.

Plot:
Superstar comedian and Golden Globe winner* Tim Allen shines bright in Disney's magical, larger-than-life hit comedy that People Magazine dubbed "the most playfully amusing, inventive cinematic...fable in several decades!"

Rooftop clatter leads to merry adventure after Santa falls down on the job, and Scott Calvin's son Charlie convinces dad to try on the red suit. Eight reindeer pilot the pair to the North Pole, where they soon discover that by donning the famous suit, dad must now accept all of Santa's duties! Over the next year, a surprised, not-so-jolly Scott grows a Santa-sized tummy and beard, causing friends, family and business associates to wonder if he's lost his marbles. All except Charlie, who thinks his dad is perfectly suited for his new job!

Each well-kept secret of the North Pole is revealed in Disney's hilarious and heartwarming tale that's "destined to become a holiday classic" (New York Post). Now you can unwrap all the magic of the holidays any day of the year!

*Best Actor ("Home Improvement").

My Thoughts:

This is one of my favorite movies to watch to help me get into the Christmas Spirit. I have been a fan of Tim Allen ever since I first saw him in Home Improvement. I don't know what it really is about this movie other then it is just a fun holiday movie... but it is one I just can not miss each year.
