Wild Things: Diamonds in the Rough
I'm not sure what the point of this title is, other than that the studio that released this movie didn't want to release a Wild Things 3 (the title of it in Australia), causing everyone to say, "There was a Wild Things 2?" Loyal readers of this blog know the answer is, "Yes!" This movie wasn't quite as good as the second one. Also, there wasn't a single actor or actress that I recognized from anything else. This wasn't a bad movie assuming one doesn't expect much. It could be part of a goofy weekend of watching all three Wild Things movies consecutively. Just be sure to start drinking near the end of the first one so you don't notice the declining quality.
The Covenant
I'm not going to lie, I didn't pay very close attention to this movie. I was mostly reading political stuff on the internet. It was still kind of cool, though. The plot involved the modern-day descendants of a coven of male witches at a boarding school, or something. It's an OK way to spend a hangover.
The Illusionist
Big-time dramas don't usually make their way onto my queue, but I'm glad I watched this one. It had a nice twist, and Ed Norton was very good. Jessica Biel was in it too, but she was wearing lots of big clothes (it is a period piece). Let's face it, people don't like to watch her for her acting or her mildly pretty face. Only in a movie (or perhaps a fancy brothel) would a guy who looks like Ed Norton hook up with a gal like Jessica Biel, so that was some nice unintentional comedy. Don't worry, that's not giving up any plotline. That's picking nits, though, as this was a good movie.
And a bonus from HBO on Saturday night...
Snakes on a Plane
Now THIS is a movie I liked. Not much to dislike in this one. Samuel L. Jackson, nice talent, bunch of killer snakes, Champ Kind, and a bunch of cool action? I'll take two, please. My inner 13-year-old came out watching this movie. (Of course, he didn't have to go far.)
What the heck, one more...
Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav
Tons of awesome, awesome stuff. Jimmy Kimmel and Jeff Ross were as funny as they always are on these things, and Snoop Dogg was the unexpectedly best roaster. Get the DVD when it comes out and see it in its uncensored greatness.

There was a roast for Flavor Flav?!? Was Professor Griff there? Chuck D?
Prof. Griff was not there. Chuck D, however, was there for the very funny opening scene. He did not stay for the roast.
They are showing it constantly on Comedy Central, but I advise waiting for the DVD.
