Gangster Squad
IMDB

Current Release: Yes

Trashy but fun. If you want a serious gangster movie, watch L.A. Confidential, this however is a whole lot of pulpy silliness that was quite enjoyable. I don't really go in for gangster stuff but this wasn't taking itself very seriously so it was easy to go along with.
Ruben Fleischer assembled a pretty swanky cast and they all look like they're having fun. And it looks very pretty. Although there is something very disconcerting about that very digital wide shutter look on a period piece. It's not Public Enemies bad but it's close. I guess we should start getting used to it.

Yeah, it's still not as interesting to me as his other films.

Josh Radnor has made a great little indie romance/comedy/drama thing. I very much enjoyed this one and was also impressed by Elizabeth Olsen and the great supporting cast he managed to assemble.
SURPRISE ZAC EFRON!
And that's a big surprise, because surly if Zac Efron was in a film, you'd know about it beforehand, right? But then again, that's the joy of seeing these small releases without first looking up much about them. And that's how I suggest you watch this one. It's a pleasant little diversion from your day.

Night of the Creeps
IMDB
First time viewed: No
Current Release: No
This is one of those movies that just has everything. Sci-fi creatures, 1950's black and white b-movie horror, 80's teen comedy, zombies and axe-wielding serial killers. The bluray has both endings too. Fantastic! Love this cult classic.
The Princess Bride
IMDB
First time viewed: No
Current Release: No
Watched With: Tyler
Oh man, that trailer haha. No wonder it didn't do well at theatres. But it's had a hell of a shelf life, despite the visually apparent budgetary constraints.
And it seems hard to believe to me but yes, there are still people out there that haven't seen this endearing cult classic. So it's a good thing I have the bluray on hand. But nothing will compare to watching this young and growing up with it.
William Goldman's story and Rob Reiner's film version are pretty charming. Classic stuff.
