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!
