Johnny Depp once again evokes Hunter S. Thompson in this trailer for The Rum Diary.

For June Netflix has added a decent assortment of new and catalog releases to its streaming lineup. Several critically acclaimed films from 2011 have entered the stream in addition to several worthwhile coming of age comedies, several horror films of varying quality, and some films I can only qualify as “so bad they’re good.” Lastly, a few other fan favorites have made their way back to the Netflix Streaming after briefly disappearing most likely due to contract negotiations.

I guess this should really come as no surprise considering the craze that is The Twilight Saga, but Breaking Dawn has gone on to, again, be the top-selling DVD for the week ending February 19th. This is the movie’s second week in the top spot, and its second week of release (well, one and a half weeks is more like it).
Jeremy of We Got This Covered wrote, "Johnny Depp re-teams with some Hunter S. Thompson material for The Rum Diary; a film that's not as crazy as their last pairing in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but it's still a mildly entertaining change of pace for both Depp and Thompson. It's entertaining because of its actors, but it fails because of its weak focus. It's one part an alcohol induced trip, full of shenanigans and mishap and another part sculpting of a writer and how he fits into this world."
