Pirate Radio](The Boat That Rocked (2009) - Movie | Moviefone)

In his review, Peter Martin wrote: “Except for pacing issues that dog the film clear through to an interminably extended final 25 minutes, it’s a perfectly serviceable party picture that’s intended to invoke nostalgia rather than meaningful reflection.” Rent it on DVD or Blu-ray.

Defendor](Defendor (2010) - Movie | Moviefone)
Before you gear up for Kick Ass, you should check out Woody Harrelson in Defendor.

Scott Weinberg reviewed the indie today and wrote: “What some may see as a schizophrenic little tale that wants to have its superhero cake and deflate it too, I see a tightly-wound, well-paced, nicely-shot, and (again) resoundingly well-acted Canadian indie that has a few compelling things to say, and says them in an unexpectedly entertaining way.” Buy it.
