| Posted: 06 Oct 2012 02:00 PM PDT  Red Lights Blu-ray l DVD DIRECTOR: Rodrigo Cortes WRITER: Rodrigo Cortes STARRING: Cillian Murphy, Sigourney Weaver, Elizabeth Olsen, Robert De Niro, Toby Jones Millennium Entertainment RELEASE DATE: October 2, 2012 As a fan of director Rodrigo Cortes's last film, Buried, which used some extremely crafty filmmaking techniques that allowed it to take place entirely inside of a coffin with Ryan Reynolds, I was very much intrigued by his next movie, Red Lights. The movie is a psychological thriller in the truest sense, following Dr. Margaret Matheson (Sigourney Weaver) and Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy)---a pair of paranormal researchers who have become quite masterful in revealing the scam that is mind readers and clairvoyants and mediums and the like using "red lights," the subtle tricks used to sell their so called abilities.

| Movie Review: The Perks of Being a Wallflower Posted: 06 Oct 2012 12:00 PM PDT  The Perks of Being a Wallflower Directed By: Stephen Chbosky Written By: Stephen Chbosky Starring Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, Ezra Miller, Mae Whitman, Paul Rudd, Kate Walsh, Dylan McDermott Summit Entertainment Rated PG-13 | 102 Minutes Release Date: October 5, 2012 "We accept the love we think we deserve." A quirky, poignant coming-of-age story based on the best-selling novel by Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a heartfelt high school drama in the spirit of the late John Hughes' The Breakfast Club. Academically advanced, socially inept freshman Charlie (Logan Lerman) is a wallflower, always watching from the sidelines, until a group of charismatic seniors take him under their wing. Gorgeous, free-spirited Sam (Emma Watson) and her cut-up stepbrother, Patrick (Ezra Miller), help guide Charlie through new friendships, first loves, and family dramas while introducing him to a world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Meanwhile, his English teacher, Mr. Anderson (Paul Rudd), has introduced Charlie to the realm of literature, sparking his dreams of becoming a writer. But even as Charlie thrives in this new world of mix-tapes and bacchanalian parties, the pain of his past - which includes his best friend's recent suicide and the accidental death of his beloved Aunt Helen (Melanie Lynskey) - lingers just below the surface [...] |

| ‘Battlestar Galactica’ Star Katee Sackhoff Joins Gina Carano In All-Female ‘Expendables’ Posted: 06 Oct 2012 09:00 AM PDT  When it was announced that an all-female version of The Expendables was being made, many scratched their head and wondered if it could and would work. Naturally, a large part of its potential success was going to depend on whether or not they could put together a cast equal to the awesomeness that was the cast that was put together for The Expendables and its sequel. Thankfully, things are off to a good start. [...] |
