I picked up a couple more titles today...

First in honor of our late friend and Westerns enthusiast Roger...

Wyatt Earp / The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford | Year: 2011 | 350 Min. Wyatt Earp. Jesse James. Their names and deeds ricochet through Western lore. Kevin Costner straps on a sidearm and pins on a badge to play the lead in Wyatt Earp. Dennis Quaid and Gene Hackman costar in director/co-writer Lawrence Kasdan's "fascinating ride to a West where darkness and heroism mingle" (Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune). The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford "really stays with you. [It's] a throwback to the Westerns of the 1970s" (Leah Rozen, People). Brad Pitt (as James) and Best Supporting Actor Academy Award® nominee* Casey Affleck (as Ford) headline a saga of friendship, crime and betrayal. *2007

Then I also picked up...

The Roommate | Year: 2011 | 91 Min.| IMDb | Trailer/Intro She's cute. She's loyal. She's psychotic. And, unfortunately for college freshman Sara (Minka Kelly), she's THE ROOMMATE.

Now You See Me (2013)

I didn't expect to like this one .. but I really did.  Thought it was well executed and although you can guess the ending it still was well performed.  And being a big magic lover .. well i guess i've got to watch Penn and Teller now

A friend suggested it to me and I bought it blindly. It was only when

Freeman was in the cell

that it dawned on me (shortly before it was spelled out anyway) who the mastermind was.

I had assumed

that the safe-drowning wizard had survived (since no body was found) and that he was behind it and

would have been to young.

Get Him to the Greek

Another surprise.
While this comedy has some real good laughs, music is definitely more than just background-noise here.

At such an extremely cheap price I decided to give it a chance. And figure hey... if I don't like it then it is very easy to trade it in for something else.
