Fast cars and scantily dressed women; sounds like a teenage boys dream week at the Movie Spot, but actually the car movie isn’t half bad! Check out the releases in full at themoviespotter.blogspot.com
New releases this week:
Fast & Furious
Cast: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, John Ortiz, Laz Alonso
The latest in the franchise, probably the best and with a nice touch of leaving out the word ‘the” to differentiate from the title of the first one!
Here’s the storyline: When a mutual friend is suddenly murdered by a Los Angeles drug cartel, FBI agent Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) and outlaw boy racer Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) separately infiltrate the shady organization in search of revenge, justice and screeching handbrake turns.


Miss March
Cast: Zach Cregger, Trevor Moore, Raquel Alessi, Molly Stanton, Holly Hindman, Craig Robinson, Alexis Raben, Tanjareen Martin, Eve Mauro, Holly Weber
I’m in two minds about this romp, a funny movie in bad taste or a waste of time, for a long review check out the blog at themoviespotter .blogspot.com
Here’s the storyline: A young man awakens from a four-year coma to hear that his once virginal high-school sweetheart has since become a centerfold in one of the world's most famous men's magazines. He and his sex-crazed best friend decide to take a cross-country road trip in order to crash a party at the magazine's legendary mansion headquarters and win back the girl. (I’ll let you in to a secret, you never see her unclothed!)

Dragonball Evolution
Cast: Justin Chatwin, James Marsters, Emmy Rossum, Jamie Chung, Yun-Fat Chow, Joon Park, Randall Duk Kim, Eriko Tamura, Ernie Hudson, Texas Battle
World famous Manga TV show comes to the big screen (or small screen depends how big the screen is natch!) Goku and a handful of friends battle for the Earth against the deadly forces of the Saiyans, who are sweeping across the universe, leaving a path of destruction. Goku and his friends' best chance for survival rests with the Namekian DragonBalls, which provide them the power to summon a mighty dragon; understand this yet? Just ask any one under the age of thirteen and they’ll explain it!
A Classic Movie You Must See, or See Again

Casino

Cast: Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone, Joe Pesci, James Woods, Don Rickles, Alan King, Kevin Pollak, L.Q. Jones, Dick Smothers, Frank Vincent

‘You beat him with fists; he comes back with a bat. You beat him with a knife; he comes back with a gun. If you beat him with a gun, you’d better kill him because he’ll keep coming back and back until one of you is dead.’
It is said that director Martin Scorsese made the ultimate gangster movie in “GoodFellas”, that is probably true, but this movie has to be the second jewel in Scorsese’s crown. Casino is a tour-de-force of acting and directing, both of which are spectacular in the Martin Scorsese and screenwriter Nicholas Pileggi vision of Las Vegas. Three hours long and not a bad performance, uncompelling scene or misguided directorial style in the mix. Casino is a very dark and violent film, but there are moments of humor to liven up the mood and some fascinating subplots that tie in to the main theme beautifully. Simply put, a must see, one of the best ever!
