The Boondock Saints is one of those movie that bombed upon its release but garnered a following over the years on home video. It's not hard to see why. It's a slick yet unconventional movie about vigilante. It's funny, highly quotable, has memorable scenes and a daring performance by Willem Dafoe as a gay FBI agent who steals the show with his performance. He and Rocco are two of the most memorable and colorful characters in this movie directed by Troy Duffy, and complete the two charismatic leads.

2012 could be described as the unofficial sequel to Deep Impact as both movies deal with the end of the world and the survival of human by government initiated programs, and in a way it's a prequel to all those post-apocalyptic movie that refer to certain events that have occurred before the start of the film. But foremost it's a movie that stand on its own and is the disaster movie to end all disaster movies, as the whole world goes to smithereens and we follow a select few that tries to make it to safety.

What could have been turned into a drama or thriller has been turned into a quirky black comedy by director Steven Soderbergh and actor Matt Damon who stars as Mark Whitacre, a vice president for an agri-business giant that is guilty of price-fixing. The FBI is all to eager to enlist the service of Mark but is too focused on bringing the company down they forget to look into Mark himself. Why would someone bring a company down that allows him to make millions and drive nice cars?

The highly anticipated The Lovely Bones had a beautiful trailer, it showed some really nice fantasy graphics and made people looking forward to this new movie by Peter Jackson, who has been an A-list director since he gave the world The Lord Of The Rings movies and the King Kong remake. Here he returns to his roots by making a "small" movie about a 14 year old girl named Susie, who was killed by a sexual predator and is now stuck in some sort of a limbo from which she can partially connect with here parents and friends.

The same week a senior citizen and ex-veteran nicknamed "Epic Beard Man" takes the internet by storm in a viral video showing him pound a black man in a bus I watched Harry Brown, a movie about a senior citizen, ex-marine and widower who is fed up with the young punks who have taken control of the neighborhood and decides to take justice into his own hands and shows that, to quote Epic Beard Man, you should not fuck with senior citizens.

A serial killer with the mask of Ronald Reagan killing hippies. Well, there's a concept we haven't seen before. When the horror scene is thriving on remakes/reboots director David Arquette decides to introduce the world to a new horror icon, or so he hopes. This is especially clear in the tagline "Move Over Jason, Look Out Freddie. HEEERE'S RONNIE!". Unfortunately I don't think that this character is destined for a long running franchise, especially when you consider that there aren't that many hippies left in America.

I love the original Stepfather movie starring Terry O'Quinn. It was a surprise discovery back in the day when I popped it in the VCR and despite some plot holes I really enjoyed the movie. This was one of the first movies I tracked down on DVD internationally after getting a credit card which made it possible to shop internationally with ease. This illustrates how underrated this gem is as there have been various DVD releases, none doing the movie justice in terms of quality. It took a remake to finally get a proper release but even now it's nowhere to be seen on Blu-ray. That won't be the case with this remake which is widely available on various formats in a good quality. Too bad the movie itself isn't of a very good quality.
