LOOK INTO MY EYES

I really like Bradley Cooper. I wish I goddamn knew why; I should loathe him and call him a douchebag, but goddamn if he doesn't just charm the pants off me. Part of that is undoubtedly just the familiarity that we all have with celebrities; we see them so often that we start to look past whatever surface level bullshit would cause us to dislike them. And, don't get me wrong, if I saw Bradley Cooper in a bar without knowing who he was, I'd be hard pressed not to throw a drink in his face, with or without him hitting on me.

Alright, we're getting into some pretty personal fantasies here. How about we just get on to the DVD release list, shall we?

DVD

	1. Limitless I confess, as per a podcast discussion with Ryan, that I find Bradley Cooper totally disarming. I'd let him talk French to me in bed, in other words. I look forward to checking this film out, especially after the unexpected thumbs up from Alex.
	2. Take Me Home Tonight A worldwide total of seven million dollars? That's got to be a fairly huge "ouch" for Relativity on the balance sheet. I'm sure it'll make all that money back in DVD sales, right? ...right?
	3. Cracks Eva Green is a teacher in a British all-girls school, and her students start competing over their infatuation with her? I'd love to think that this is some amazingly trashy pseudo-lesbianic tale, but reading the Wikipedia summary just makes it seem depressing.
	4. Dumbstruck The ventriloquist documentary you never knew you wanted! Because you didn't want it ever, ever, ever!
	5. House of the Rising Sun I really like Amy Smart, if only because she's incredibly hot, so I'm sad that she's making movies with WWE guys like Bautista now. Not because I hate him or anything, but just because those movies generally wind up pretty bad. That said, this doesn't appear to be a WWE movie, so who knows? Maybe it's the next Citizen Kane, although with a tagline like "They took his badge. He kept the gun," I doubt it.
	6. Mayor Cupcake Lea Thompson bakes cupcakes...but then she has to run for mayor! Sounds like wacky hijinks! It's a shocker this is heading straight for DVD!
	7. Peep World I'm not going to lie; the trailer for this didn't impress me at all. But don't let that stop you from enjoying this fine, 20% RT meter film.
	8. Tekken So, apparently this movie cost $35 million to make and made less than a million at the box office after failing to find an American distributor. God forbid a terrible movie should do poorly! (I assume it's terrible.)
	9. Potiche French comedy! I do so generally love those. I'll check out this Catherine Deneuve/Gerard Depardieu film as soon as it hits Netflix!
	10. Monsterwolf According to the IMDB description, "The movie is about a group of people who represent oil company, while working, they accidentally cause a Wolf to appear and start attacking them. No one can stop the wolf but one of the last native Americans." Yeah. Yeah, man. Yeah.
	11. Doctor Who (Reboot) In television DVDs, we have Doctor Who: Series Six, Part 1, Hey Dude: Season 1, The Littles: The Complete Collection, Melrose Place: Season Six and Season Six, Volume 2, Top Gear USA: The Complete First Season, and Torchwood: The Complete Original UK Series.

So what are people checking out first? I may have to go with Batista just for the fun of it.

Definitely Limitless, probably check out Lincoln Lawyer and Rango cause didn't get around to seeing them last week.

We named our all-girls school movie "Cracks"? We really did that?

Tekken is really bad. And not like a DOA bad-but-in-a-way-I-can-laugh-at kind of way. It's just sad. And there are no good Heihachi beatdowns despite teasing us with them the entire movie.

Matt, would yo cheat on Joseph Gordon- Levitt for Bradley Cooper?

@CherryBomb: 19 million dollar budget, only 7 million made in theatres... I really doubt it.

Saw Limitless at the cinema and liked it a lot. Nice to see Robert De Niro in something that doesnt suck. Will probably get it on dvd once it drops in price. God his eyes are blue in that flick!

@CherryBomb: It's not. It is a strange thing for a movie to do better on dvd than in theatres though, especially when it's one that was received poorly by both critics and viewers. I havent seen it, so Im not speaking to the quality of it. Im just saying it's doubtful this will end up anything other than a flop.

I watched Tekken so long ago over at a friends house, it was in pristine quality too. It must have been while it was waiting for that distributor, because it really feels like it was close to a year ago. Anyways, Tekken is kind of enjoyable in that half paying attention kind of way. The costumes are pretty good and the thought of "Tekken bucks" or whatever they called their currency remains an inside joke between us still. It's a pretty horrible movie but I thought the fight scenes were okay. I mean, at the end of the day it's a freaking Tekken movie. How good could it have ever been?
