It's nice to go see a movie that doesn't take itself seriously and allows you to just have fun. This movie won't win any Oscars, but it does provide entertainment. The action scenes were good and the characters were all likable. Maybe not one you'd pay full price to see, but worth renting.

Kick-Ass
I was suprised at the R rating, but after seeing it, I can see why, it's violent and kinda bloody at times. That didn't take away from how much fun the movie was. Good story that progressed well. A lot of fun too. I probably wouldn't take anyone younger that 13 or so to see it because of the violence and swearing, but everyone else should enjoy it. On another note, Hit Girl is a bad ass little chick.

Date Night
I think this movie kinda got lost when deciding what it wanted to be, a romance or a comedy. It wasn't great at either, but it wasn't bad at either. The story was OK. Tina Fey and Steve Carell were both very likable. Probably be a pretty good choice for a date movie.

Clash of the Titans
Being a fan of the original, I didn't quite know what to expect. I'd have to say that overall, the movie was pretty good. The story didn't keep to the original, but was good none the less. I liked the small tribute they did to the original as well (I won't give it away). The 3-D effects weren't quite as good as Avatar, but much better that Alice in Wonderland. This is one of those movies that pretty much has to be seen in 3-D to appreciate the special effects.

How to Train Your Dragon
Yes, it's animated. Yes, it's primarily for kids. That being said, I really enjoyed this movie. It's funny, clever, and even manages to pull at your heart strings from time to time. Few movies are bot enjoyable for kids and adults alike. This is definitely one of them.

The Ghost Writer
I always like a suspense movie that keeps your interest and throws in a plot twist at the end just to see if you were paying attention. This movie fits that bill. Good story, well acted, and definitely worth checking out.

Shutter Island
I love it when a movie keeps you thinking and wondering how it will turn out. A movie that not only keeps your interest, but also leaves you wanting more. This is one of those movies. A great cast, fantastic story, and overall, very well done. If you like suspense/thrillers, then you'll love this one.
