Toy Story 3

It's nice to see that movies can be made that are funny, enjoyable, and good family movies. Toy Story 3 fits this bill. The story is good, the characters that we've all grown to love are exactly what you'd expect. It could be a little scary for really young kids at times, but overall, a great movie.

4.5 of 5 Stars.

Karate Kid

Sometimes in a rare moment, remakes are better than the original. Most of the time, remakes are lacking to say the least. I'm glad to say that this one falls into the first category. The movie is has a different take than the first (being in China), but the basics are the same. Jaden Smith is very good, and Jackie Chan is his usual likable and great.

Get Him to the Greek

I like comedies. I consider myself to have a good sense of humor. That being said, I'm at a loss as to why some of the gags in this movie were considered funny. Don't get me wrong, there were parts that were very funny. Unfortunately, there were more than a couple of parts that were, shall we say, uncomfortable and not funny even though they thought they were. Diddy is awesome in this, easily the best character in the movie.

A-Team

I know the critics panned this movie, but I enjoyed it. It's one of those movies that's outrageous and fun. The characters were well cast, and did a good job bring back memories of the old TV show.

Killers

I have to admit, I'm a fan of Katherine Heigl. She's a pretty good actress, funny, very good looking, and seemingly likable. That likability translates well in her movies for me. By no means is this a perfect movie, but it's enjoyable. It's one of those movies that would be a good choice for a date movie, just enough romantic comedy for women to like it, and just enough action for guys to like it.

Splice

Best way to sum up this movie is same story, different boogie man. The template it the same, evil/bad/misguided scientists experiment with (fill in your favorite technology here) and something tragic happens. You've seen this before; AI, nuclear energy, toxic pollution, global warming or in this case genetic research. Too bad originality wasn't involved in this movie.

Prince of Persia

OK, this movie isn't going to win any big awards, but who cares. It's nice to see that movies can be made that are entertaining and fun, something that you can sit down and enjoy for 2 hours. Too bad Hollywood doesn't make a few more of these.
