LIFE OF PI – I just might have to add this one to my DVD collection. If you missed the Oscars…this one won some awards. I did have the chance to check out though – you can watch my review here.

RISE OF THE GUARDIANS – I didn’t see this one but I heard a lot of good things. I’ll ether watch this on RedBox or Netflix…but I WILL be watching this one.

HITCHCOCK – I didn’t get the chance to see this one – - the theater was a drive from me and I could never find the time to make it out there. I will check this one out – it’s got some of my favorite people…Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansson, and Jessica Biel! Netflix…I won’t be buying this one.

CIRQUE DU SOLEIL – I’m a huge fan of Cirque Du Soleil. Something tells me that I’m going to regret not watching this one in the theaters. I bet this one looked awesome visually on the big screen. Hmmmmmm…Netflix.

SMASHED – I knew nothing about this movie (lol) but after watching the trailer – - looks interesting. BREAKING BAD!

Teen Wolf Season 2 DVD Special Features

I didn’t get the chance to see this one on the big screen – I mean, I had the chance to see a couple of screenings for it – but just couldn’t get away from the house. Emma Watson…AWESOME. I plan on watching this one soon though – either Netflix or RedBox. Heard nothing but good things about this one.

This is another one…had the chance to see a screening…but. Well, ya know. I heard mixed things about this one though. Either people liked it OR hated it. I’m an old school kung fu watching guy – so…I plan on watching this one. PLUS…it’s got Jaime Chung and Lucy Liu. SEXY. I’m checking this one out soon.

THIS IS A MOVIE EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE. Great fick. Check out my review here!

Didn’t see this one. I heard it stayed close with the video games. I did chat with a friend of mine – who’s a fan of the game and she said…she wished they would have showed more of the creatures. As a fan of the game – she was a little disappointed. I’ll check this one out soon.

I know nothing about this one. (lol) Maybe it’ll go on my Netflix Q in the future.

I want to see this one. The trailer looked interesting. I’m adding this one to my ‘watch soon’ list.

Review By Jesus Figueroa

The LAPD came out along with 93.9FM to the Boyle Heights Farmers Market on Friday starting at 6:30 p.m. in support of the release of “End of Watch” on BluRay and DVD.

Three officers along with co-chair for the community advisory committee board  Margarita Amador attended the event talking to community members and handing out goodies. “It’s a very good turn out. The purpose of the LAPD to be here today is really to promote the ‘HIDE IT, LICK IT, KEEP IT’ campaign, educating the community about protecting their valuables so they don’t become victims of car theft,” says Amador.

The community was able to interact with the officers as they made line to get their free tacos from Tacos La Doña. Along with their campaign the LAPD was there to invite people to their academy, “It’s a great opportunity for them to learn all aspects of the police department, so they understand why certain procedures are done when their’s a crime and when they handcuff somebody there is a reason behind it. So, that academy will really help the community. This is a perfect place to recruit because their audience (the community) is already there,” says Amador. “Alot of aspects of the movie are realistic of the LAPD but there were a couple of things that were exaggerated I think in my opinion. Police officers do not take off their belt and fight with someone, one-on-one, that doesn’t happen,” says Amador.

The ending of the film was also unrealistic to Amador as LAPD works hard to reduce response time on calls, especially when other officers are already involved.

The ladies of Exitos 93.9FM in Los Angeles played games with those in attendance and handed out prizes to the winners. DVDs of the movie, extra raffle tickets for the main prize of Six Flags Magic Mountain tickets, and other gifts from the movie. The crowd was quite large as many waited in line for their free tacos.

The crime action-drama “End of Watch” comes to BluRay and DVD on Jan. 22.
