Buying movies is almost a dangerous obession with me. I love it, and probably have spent more money on movies in my lifetime than any sane person. At least I’m not spending money on heroine.
New Movie Tuesday is my favorite day of the week. Here are this week’s releases as well as my recommendations.
Being the film snob I am, I will recommend the Blu Ray versions of these flicks if available.

Average customer review: |
If you take away your Arnie sized expectations and ejoy the ride, there’s a lot here to enjoy. At $16.99 this Blu Ray is a STEAL. But at least rent it and give it a shot. Unfortunatly, the promised 30 minutes of cut footage isn’t here, only 3 is woven back into the film. Basically, we have the tidbits McG had to cut from his intitial final cut in order to seal the PG-13 rating. I have a feeling McG’s hands were tied with demands from the studio and this is what we get (or, he’s an overselling/underdelivering douche).
At any rate, there some great action, incredible sound design and some solid performances. Nowhere near T1 or T2, but tons better than T3. Terminator Salvation is a lot of fun, just don’t think too hard.
