Jason Starr presents what happens to a normal guy, Simon Burns, who gets lured into a “pack” by three other stay at home dads who are more than they seem to be. Simon’s life isn’t going that great. He gets fired, he is having marital problems, and is adjusting to becoming a stay at home dad. And after being drawn into a wild night, he blacks out and wakes up in the woods naked. After that night, Simon notices extreme changes. Simon is suddenly stronger, faster, acute senses, and overall more animalistic. The gist is he has become a werewolf and possibly killed somebody.

As a remake of the classic horror film, Fright Night doesn’t aim to reboot the original film, but merely update it to our time, and tighten it up considerably to make a fun, horror-comedy about a ruthless vampire moving in as your neighbor.

Having had to wait three extra months for Jim Butcher’s next entry into the Dresden Files was incredibly painful, however if the extra time allowed Jim Butcher to make this book as excellent and almost perfect as it was then all is forgiven, in fact I now hope he takes more time with the next book.

I wanted to watch this movie because it was Indiana Jones and James Bond kicking alien ass in the Wild West. And the movie delivered on that. But in all seriousness I’m glad that the actors were able to go beyond their already established iconic roles to play the characters in this movie.

Crazy, Stupid, Love is all about what love does to people, and particularly when love can be painful, new, or unrequited. The great thing about this movie is that it isn’t a typical rom-com full of stupid clichés, but is actually quite realistic on its handle about love.

Cassie Palmer makes her long awaited return in Hunt the Moon after a two year hiatus, due to unforeseen circumstances affecting the author, Karen Chance. I never really knew why the book was delayed, but it matters not because it’s out now and it features the return of one of my favorite heroines.

After the success of Thor many became extra excited to see what Marvel would do with one of its most classics characters, Captain America. And believe me they did not disappoint.

In Transformers 3 (I hate the official name so I am going with Transformers 3) we get the end of Michael Bay’s trilogy about robots blowing stuff up and laying waste to cities. Well the plot is more complicated than that, but let’s be honest we are all going to watch Optimus Prime be a badass kicking Decepticon ass. Now after the debacle that was Revenge of the Fallen (personally I thought it was ok, not great just ok), this movie sought to refine the elements that made the second one good, and try to cut the parts that didn’t.

Last year TV fans got an amazing treat with the return of Angie Harmon in Rizzoli & Isles, a show about cop Jane Rizzoli (Angie Harmon) and her best friend Medical Examiner, Maura Isles( Sasha Alexander) solving cases in Boston. Sounds like a tired formula, but surprisingly Sasha Alexander and Angie Harmon have amazing chemistry that makes the show more about their friendship than the cases.

The Glades premiered on A&E last year during the summer, and I stumbled upon on it looking for new TV shows to fill the void that is summer. To my surprise, I LOVED it. The series stars Matt Passmore, the latest in brilliant Australian imports (seriously is every actor from down under super talented?), as Detective Jim Longworth, a former Chicago cop who after being shot by his boss, moves to Florida with his settlement money to relax and golf. Joining the FDLE (Florida Department of Law Enforcement), he finds that Florida has a high crime rate that will keep him busy and away from the golf course.

Seeing the trailer for Bridesmaids you would a expect a super raunchy comedy with female leads instead of male ones, but when you see the film you realize it’s another one of Judd Apatow’s films like 40 Year Old Virgin, Superbad, and Funny People that is hilarious but also sweet and a study of friendships. Only this time the light is on women’s friendships instead of male ones. But don’t let that fool you, this film is still raunchy and earns its R rating.

Ever get mad about the fact that cases on regular crime procedurals get solved super fast on TV? (I’m looking at you CSI, Law and Order, Bones, etc.) Well if you want to see how cases in the real world (well, almost real but close enough) get solved, then you are going to love The Killing, AMC’s ambitious import from overseas that sucks you in with a thirteen episode murder mystery of who killed Rosie Larsen.
