This week Regis Jack talks about Despicable Me (in 2D), Shutter Island (on BD), Let The Right One In (Netflix streaming) and some crap about Apple.

So I saw 3 movies this week, the first season of Better Off Ted (on Netflix Streaming), and I watched parts of some movies, but stopped when they sucked really bad (like Paranormal Entity – a rip off movie if there ever was one).  I’ve seen all of Better Off Ted before, but it was great to see them again.

Despicable Me in non-eye popping 2d, was pretty good.  It had a cute story, but the funnies parts were shown in the preview – which bothers me.  They need to show scenes in trailers but NOT the best moments.  It’s good for kids and adults.  Nuff said here.

Shutter Island was, well, not bad.  It had some cool scenes, but tried to be suspenseful, but wasn’t.  It also had inconsistencies within scenes, many mistakes and a story that wasn’t really had to see coming – from the first scene.  Still, it’s worth watching – it’s not bad.

Now the movie Let The Right One In was very cool.  It’s a vampire movie – sort of.  I felt it was actually a child relationship movie about two 12 year old kids, one of which is a vampire.  This movie has high ratings on Netflix, which surprises me.  This movie is more drama than horror and has very quiet moments – not a typical popular movie.  The most important part is to see this film in the original Swedish with  subtitles – DO NOT WATCH THE DUBBED VERSION.  Every bad review I read seems to be from people who watched dubbed versions.

The rest of the cast is littered with Apple Antenna issues, the press release and an antitrust lawsuit against them and AT&T.  But my favorite part is the iPhone song I link to below.  It’s awesome.  Sing if you know the words, “If you don’t want an iPhone 4 – don’t but it.  If you bought one and you don’t like it – bring it back”

Oh Yeah, the picture this week is of Claudius – he landed on my car.  Cool isn’t he?
