133. The Day After Tomorrow

         So I know its been awhile since I blogged. Has anyone even noticed? oh Well. I dont know if its been that its summer, the sun is out, its hot outside and I wish it was snowing instead but here are back on the blog.  With the snow on my mind I decided to bust out the best snow movie ever The Day After Tomorrow.  And if you know me at all, I LOVE DISASTER MOVIES!
        TDAT is the one amazing movie. I love this film. Yes, I love snow, Yes I love disaster movies but this one is very very good. The storming centers around a father (Randy Quaid) a climitalogist and the end of the world ultimate snow storm. On top of the storm his son (Prince of Persia himself Jake Gyllenhaal) is trapped in a the public library of NYC. He sets out on a quest to rescue him.
       Day After is from the same mind and groups have brought you Independence Day and 2012. It has a great mix of humor, action, disaster, and dramatic elements. Yes, disaster movies are not realistic. Movies are for an escape and I love movies that the grand spectacle of these movies. This is one is awesome and makes you crave a Wendy's Frosty ever time I watch it. Oh, and it looks AMAZING! on blu-ray.

Final Verdict: Worth Owning.

Does anyone read these?

82. Source Code


Jake Gyllenhaal is the star of this new action adventure Source Code. Kind of Incenption meets Back to the Future meets Groundhogs Day.   It poses the statement that in today’s world we make “Every Second Count”.

Gyllenhaal stars as Capt. Colter Stevens a war veteran helicopter pilot who wakes up suddenly on a commuter train on the outskirts of Chicago. Not knowing how he got there and why he is there it takes an even more crazy twist when he realizes that the lady across from him knows him as Sean and that he looks like a totally different person. Then the train blows up.

NO Really! I am the Prince of Persia!

Really that is how I thought about ended this blog. I don’t want to give too much away but Colter has found himself part of a new government program called Source Code. SC is the chance for a person to go back in time for 8 minutes to try and gather information about a crime--this crime being the bombing. It is intense as times and Gyllenhaal does a fine job. 

Final Verdict: Worth watching. Maybe worth owning.
