NFL Picks 2012 Week 4

Unscripted NFL Predictions
2012 Week 4

Well, last week were my worst picks yet. I went 5-11; Ouch! Many of the losses were major upsets (ie: Vikings beating 49ers, Seahawks beating Packers, etc.), but some were really close (ie: Jets beating Dolphins, Raiders beating Steelers).

Luckily, I had a pretty strong start to the year and sinceI wasn't the only one who had a bad week, I ended the weekend looking at a 24-24 record, tied for 6th place out of 16.

But on to this week, with at least 6 hard-to-call games; Wish me luck...

3 Easist Win Predictions

* The Packers were a close 4th.
* This is the Texans 3rd week out of 4 as an "Easy Pick."

3 Toughest Win Predictions

* All NFC East teams! And the Giants are playing the 4th division team, the Eagles!
* The Lions, Chargers, and Seahawks were close behind as "Tough Picks."

Weekend Preview 9/28-10/4/2012

There are 13 films coming out in wide and limited release this week. Starting Friday are 11 movies; Looper looks to be the best, but Hellbound?, Hotel Transylvania, and Stars in Shorts (a collection of short films) look interesting as well. Plus I'm sorta in love with Anna Kendrick, so I secretly want to see Pitch Perfect too. Later in the week we see the re-release of two classic films.

Click "Read More" for trailers of Bringing Up Bobby, Hellbound?, The Hole 3D, Hotel Transylvania, The Iran Job, Looper, The Other Dream Team, Pitch Perfect, Solomon Kane, Stars in Shorts, Won't Back Down, E.T., and Lawrence of Arabia.

Review: The Master

With prodigious ambitions and unparallelled talent, The Master is a remarkable feat of superior acting and extraordinary cinematography, which at times struggles to synchronize both voice and message.

Academy Award Nominee Joaquin Phoenix (Walk the Line, Gladiator) is Freddie, a WWII veteran struggling to cope with civilian life, intentionally disrupting the normalcy of his new environment with self-concocted chemically-altered liquors, explicit sexual fantasies, and spates of sudden rage. Freddie wanders from job to job, fired from each of them, until he meets the Master.

Academy Award Winner Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote, Doubt) is Lancaster Dodd, the founder and charismatic leader of a faith-based organization known as "The Cause." Lancaster's influence is growing, but he takes a specific liking to Freddie and his sure-to-be poisonous drinks, much to the chagrin of some of his followers, including his wife.

Academy Award Nominee Amy Adams (The Fighter, Doubt) is Peggy Dodd, Lancaster's spouse and antagonist to Freddie. It is possible Peggy believes in The Cause more than her husband and her passion drives her as a behind-the-scenes agent of the organization.
