REPO MEN

Jacket: "Remy (Jude Law) and Jake (Forest Whitaker) are best friends and The Union's most dangerous repossession men, reclaiming top-dollar organs when recipients fall behind on their payments. But after an on-the-job accident forces Remy to be outfitted with a top-of-the-line heart replacement, he finds himself in debt and unable to pay.

Now, the hunter becomes the hunted as Jake will stop at nothing to track him down to finish the job."

What a snoozer! I think the funniest scene included the nine-year-old back alley surgeon. Leave this one on the shelf.

When in Rome on DVD

Jacket: "... When Beth, an unlucky-in-love New York curator (Kristen Bell), takes a whirlwind trip to Rome for her sister's wedding, an unexpected crush takes her by surprise. Quickly let down, she defiantly plucks coins from the Fontana de Amore, magically igniting the passions of some comically unsuitable suitors. As a charming reporter (Josh Duhamel) becomes zealously smitten. Beth is skeptical that he's the real deal."

The cheese factor is high on this one. While I avoided its fumes and walked out of the room while this played, my guest stayed on to watch and enjoy it. Go figure.

This was an entertaining, complementary story to the Twilight saga.

Product description : "Fans of The Twilight Saga will be enthralled by this riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character first introduced in Eclipse, and the darker side of the newborn vampire world she inhabits. In another irresistible combination of danger, mystery, and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion."

Clash of the Titans (2010)

There's two hours I'm never getting back! This was a horrible remake of a classic film. And they don't include Bubo the owl! Really? The mythic story of Perseus was completely chewed up (not that the original was completely accurate, but it was so much closer than this) and what was regurgitated is an overly technical, boring, choppy, wanna-be epic action flick that Hollywood pooped out for the pre-teens. Next time they should spend more time on the story and less on the technology. Watch the original film. It's much more entertaining.
