The Experiment is a remake of a German movie that I have no plan on seeing. Not that I don't like German cinema. It's just that I have no faith in this material. If the original is anything like this movie then I have to ask what people saw in it.

This version stars Adrian Brody and Forrest Whitaker as two strangers who are among a bigger group of strangers who decide to answer an ad they saw in the newspaper. The ad is for an experiment that offers the people who participate two weeks of work for $1000 a day. I would have answered this ad too.

I hate the subtitle to this movie. Of course money never sleeps. Money is something that is constantly moving, whether we can see it or not. We know this. So why use the subtitle that they used? I mean, they could have come up with something better like "Burstin' Bubbles" or something like that. Or they could have just put a two on it and left the subtitle off. The subtitle is the first thing I hated about this movie.

This is, of course, the sequel to the 1987 hit Wall Street. That movie is remembered for winning Michael Douglas an Oscar and giving the 80's its own catchphrase, Greed is Good. That movie was pretty good. The sequel is not.

Every so often I will be doing reviews of my favorite dvds and blu-rays. I have been a dvd collector for over ten years and have been a blu-ray supporter for three years. I am an avid collector and feel this is the best way to spotlight the movies that I love, along with their dvd or blu-ray counterpart.

I missed out on the first Jackass when it hit theaters in 2002. I thought the whole idea of watching people hurt themselves and others in the name of entertainment was a pretty stupid idea. I know that we have shows like America's Funniest Home Videos and World's Wildest Police Chases, but the people in those videos are supposedly not getting hurt on purpose. I guess that is why the show and the movies are called Jackass.

When Jackass: The Movie was released on dvd in the spring of 2003 I decided to take a chance and I rented it. What followed was 90 minutes of the funniest and most obscene things I have ever seen. I laughed throughout the entire movie and my wife did too. At the end I told my wife that if they make anymore movies, I do not want to miss them in the theater.

Here is the teaser trailer for the new Transformers movie, which hits theaters on July 1st, 2011. Now we all know that the subtitle for this movie, Dark of the Moon, is probably the worst subtitle for a movie ever, but this teaser is pretty bad as well. Now, I actually liked the first two movies and am looking forward to seeing this one, but I have one question: Is Michael Bay making a Transformers movie or a NASA movie? Take a look for yourself:
