It's the week for comedy, drama, and action...plus my #1 favorite movie of the year!

Bruno-R comedy w/Sacha Baron Cohen. A gay Austrian comes to America to torment Celebrities, Polititions & Southerners. So dirty it'll make you blush even if you're watching it alone.

The Goods-R comedy w/Jeremy Piven. A smooth talking car salesman has to move 200 cars in one weekend. Wow, I knew Bruno was going to be dirty, but this one tried to out diry Bruno!

My Sister's Keeper-PG13 drama w/Cameron Diaz, Abigail Breslin & Alec Baldwin. An 11-year old girl was conceived to be a donor for her sister with leukemia; but decides to take her own body back.

Open Road-PG13 drama w/Jeff Bridges & Justin Timberlake. A minor league ball player & his ex try to track down his estranged father

Star Trek-PG13 w/Chris Pine by J.J. Abrams. A Romulan comes back in time to change Kirk's and Spock's future. It goes without saying that this is my pick of the week! Bought mine on Blu-ray!

Friday: Blockbuster Premiers: Staten Island-R drama w/Ethan Hawke. A small time mobster is going against the big-guys to make life better for his kids.

SMALLER TITLES: Canyon; Carter; Eastbound & Down; Entourage-season 5; Flight of the Conchords-season 1; Franklyn; Generation Kill; Grey Gardens; Humpday; Is Anybody There; It's always Sunny in Philadelphia; Limits of Control; Locator 2-Braxton Returns; Revenge; Taking Chance; Thirst-subtitled; Train; Wild Child; and Wrong Turn at Tahoe *(all titles not available at all stores)

Instead of fighting the crouds for New Moon this weekend, come rent or buy Twilight and check out our exclusive Twilight Saga Merchandise like Edward/Jacob Pillows, Calendars, and Edward/Jacob Throws.

The fact that I like Twilight so much scares me a little. Ben from Blockbuster.

It's Halloween time, and Horror movies are a guilty pleasure for many people; including me. I thought I'd pass along my favorites and see who might agree...or disagree...I'm sure we'll be discussing everyone's favorites this Friday at 8:45am on the Good Morning Show with John and Toby O.

10. The Ruins: a movie with a neat plot and a big twist on the "monster" movie themes.

9. Watcher in the Woods: a PG film that can scare the pants off a kid, and even some adults.

8. Poltergiest (1): Made me scared of clowns and ugly trees to this very day. Dude, just move!

7. It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown: If you're like me, you have to watch it every year...if not it's "Oh, no! I've missed it! I've missed the Great Pumkin!"

6. Halloween: the original with Jamie Lee Curtis. When you found out how unstopable Micheal Myers was...

5. April Fool's Day (the original is much better than the re-make): a movie with huge twists and lots of jumps.

4. Aliens (the 2nd film): although a sci-fi film, you cannot deny the horror elements in a film full of jumps and suspense.

3. Nightmare on Elm Street (1): An original idea from Wes Craven...You can't tell me that after seeing this film in the theaters that you felt comforatable going to sleep.

2. The Evil Dead: The first film is the best! Although I also like the Evil Dead 2 and the Army of Darkness. You have to love Bruce Campbell...the sequels are over the top; but the original was actually scary. When I first watched it on VHS (yeh, I'm that old), I dumped a whole plate of food in the floor I jumped so high!

1. The Exorsist: This film gave me nightmares and still disturbs me today. I guess it's more scary because it could actually happen. The remastered version is great...you won't want to watch this one alone.

There are so many more that I wish I could put in...like The Thing and Friday the 13th...even Chucky...or newer films like the Grudge or Shutter or any of the Saw Series--with the new one coming out in theaters. You'll just have to come to Blockbuster and check out our Halloween and Horror sections.
