		<description><![CDATA[Everybody's Fine, The Box, Sorority Row, Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant, and The Informant!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A couple horror/thriller films and a dude who is an expert at lying. Coming to DVD this week:</p>
<p><strong>The Informant</strong>: What was Mark Whitacre thinking? A rising star at agri-industry giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Whitacre suddenly turns whistleblower. Even as he exposes his company&#8217;s multi-national price-fixing conspiracy to the FBI, Whitacre envisions himself being hailed as a hero of the common man and handed a promotion.</p>
<p>But before all that can happen, the FBI needs evidence, so Whitacre eagerly agrees to wear a wire and carry a hidden tape recorder in his briefcase, imagining himself as a kind of de facto secret agent. Unfortunately for the FBI, their lead witness hasn&#8217;t been quite so forthcoming about helping himself to the corporate coffers.</p>
<p>Whitacre&#8217;s ever-changing account frustrates the agents and threatens the case against ADM as it becomes almost impossible to decipher what is real and what is the product of Whitacre&#8217;s rambling imagination. Based on the true story of the highest-ranking corporate whistleblower in U.S. history.</p>
<p><strong>The Box</strong>: Norma and Arthur Lewis are a suburban couple with a young child who receive an anonymous gift bearing fatal and irrevocable consequences. A simple wooden box, it promises to deliver its owner $1 million with the press of a button. However, pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world&#8230;someone they don&#8217;t know. With just 24 hours to have the box in their possession, Norma and Arthur find themselves in the crosshairs of a startling moral dilemma and face the true nature of their humanity.</p>
<p><strong>Cirque du Freak: The Vampire&#8217;s Assistant</strong>: A boy unknowingly breaks a 200-year-old truce between two warring factions of vampires. Pulled into a fantastic life of misunderstood sideshow freaks and grotesque creatures of the night, one teen will vanish from the safety of a boring existence and fulfill his destiny in a place drawn from nightmares.</p>
<p>14-year-old Darren was like most kids in his suburban neighborhood. He hung out with his best friend, got decent grades and usually stayed out of trouble. But when he and his buddy stumble upon a traveling freak show, things begin to change inside Darren. That&#8217;s the exact moment when a vampire named Larten Crepsley turns him into something, well, bloodthirsty.</p>
<p><strong>Sorority Row</strong>: When five sorority girls inadvertently cause the murder of one of their sisters in a prank gone wrong, they agree to keep the matter to themselves and never speak of it again, so they can get on with their lives. This proves easier said than done, when after graduation a mysterious killer goes after the five of them and anyone who knows their secret.</p>
<p><strong>Everybody&#8217;s Fine:</strong> A widower embarks on an impromptu road trip to reconnect with each of his grown children only to discover that their lives are far from picture perfect.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The film itself is an enjoyable ride, but towards the end you find yourself ready to get off.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-1129 alignleft" title="adventureland" src="http://www.joreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/adventureland-202x300.jpg" alt="adventureland" width="202" height="300" />Set in 1987 with the best beats and awful attire, this adventure follows Emily (Kristen Stewart) and James (Jesse Eisenberg). The pair meets as they work a summer job at Adventureland Park and find passion more exciting than the games they are running. The film takes you back to those awkward days of being unsure of yourself. Filled with trials and tribulations you see these angst teens just trying to deal with life. James lands a job in the games area when his search for a summer job leads him to dead ends, except for at the theme park. While working at Adventureland you are introduced to a wide variety of humorous characters, including the manager of the park Bobby (Bill Hader), who seems a bit eccentric and his strange significant other, Paulette (Kristen Wiig).</p>
<p>Not only is the park a place to earn a paycheck, but it turns out to be the grounds of affairs and lies. Who knew drama could come from such a fun place? During these hot summer days James begins to be drawn to Emily who seems withdrawn from society. When James feels rejected by Emily he agrees to go on a date with the hot rides girl, Lisa (Margarita Levieva). Caught in a triangle between lust and love what will James do? It&#8217;s an adventurous ride that takes many twists and turns. Back to the days of boy likes girl, girl likes different boy and so on so forth.</p>
<p>&#8220;Adventureland&#8221; is an enjoyable ride, but towards the end you find yourself ready to get off. A lot of the relationships and characters are undeveloped, but that aside they were all entertaining in their own aspect. Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg had great compatibility and handled the teenage angst to perfection. The film flawlessly captured the decade. Not to mention it had some of the best music from its period. “Adventureland&#8221; offered great humor, but could have been cut back twenty minutes and would not have been so extended.</p>
