You’d be hard-pressed to find a bigger mythology nut than me, so catching this (on a easy to see 2D Blu-ray) is a major priority. If you also dig on mythology and flicks, the book “The Ancient World in the Cinema” by an old professor of mine is a great read.

It’s Repo! The Genetic Opera but without the opera. Despite my massive love for musicals, I personally was not a fan of that flick but completely understand why 14 year old girls like it. This one looks like it’s much more “serious” and more of a straightforward action flick.

Rob Corddry and Zach Galifianakis in a spy-thriller? That’s just crazy enough to work. The movie has an incredible ensemble cast and looks, to me at least, to be a fun way to kill a couple hours. Check out this clip for some proof of the funny.

Animated superhero movies are the best. There’s nothing better to throw on one monitor, while I get some work done on the other. The only conceivable reason I would ever want kids is so I could buy movies like this without getting dirty looks when I get to be in my 40′s.

The story of a very successful, real-life martial arts teacher. The man taught Bruce Lee everything he knew, so hopefully there’s an interesting movie in there somewhere. Flickcharters seem to be responding to it very positively so far, so I’m guessing it’s worth a look.

Documentary about the struggle to control a $25 billion private art collection. The collection was started by a dude who made his money creating a treatment for a sexually transmitted disease in the 1800′s. Flickchart rankings aren’t great right now but it looks interesting.

Netflix specifically, which keeps on pumping out solid movies for unlimited streaming. Some highlights this week from Netflix include: Zombieland, Sleepless in Seattle, Black Dynamite (my 3rd favorite film from 2009), and my personal #3 favorite movie of all-time, No Way Out.

I saw this in theaters and absolutely loved it. Once our heroes commented on how “tight” the first girls they see are when they make it back to the 80′s (exactly as I was in my head just a split second earlier), I knew I was going to enjoy the ride.

Charles Darwin Biopic. Critical reviews have made it out to be pretty dull but Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly certainly are a watchable duo.
