I've frequently get calls from friends standing in Blockbuster asking me what they should rent. This isn't as easy as it sounds. I first just want to say join Blockbuster online or Netflix, it's a butt load easier, and cheaper. But heres some recommendations for you.
These are in no particular order.
1. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly - foreign film, but very captivating
2. The Soloist - i may write a review of this, it was only OK, but great seeing Robert Downey, Jr and Jamie Foxx on screen together.
3. 17 Again - Gay i know. But this was actually a pretty funny, heartwarming, feel good flick, and who can deny those movies.
4 and 5. Push and Knowing - both cool sci fi flicks, nothing mindblowing, but good sofa entertainment
6. Gran Torino - Eastwood. Enough said.
7. Killshot - Mickey Rourke as a hit man, Joseph Gordon-Leavitt as his crazy ass apprentice. Diane Lane, not nude, but still hot!
8. The Reader - Superb acting. Kate Winslet as a Nazi.
9. I Love You, Man - much better than I expected, actually a lot of funny parts.
10. Let the Right One In - Probably one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Its a foreign one too, but its dubbed with English. EVERYONE should rent this. Its so good Hollywood has decided to ruin it by making an American version. WATCH THIS MOVIE!

Hey Collin!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love your blog - keep posting!
I want to recommend you a triology you gotta see. Perhaps you've already heard about it. The first part is called: "The girl with the dragon tattoo" (Män som hattar kvinnor), the second part:"The girl who played with fire" (Flickan som lekte med elden) and the third part: "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" (Luftslottet som sprängdes). All three movies are based on books written by swedish Stieg Larsson, which are a huge succes in Scandinavia and Europe. Enjoy and let me know what you think. / Diana
