KNIGHT AND DAY(2010)

This is more of what summer movies should be. Some good action sequences and a little humor. Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz actually have some pretty good chemistry working here. Not the best action movie of the summer(A-team), but still has enough fun packed into a decent story. Sometimes the movie is too corny for my liking, but it's a fun and entertaining movie just the same. I was actually surprised that I enjoyed this movie this much. The story gets a little too twisty and in coherent, but it still served it's purpose.

Tom Cruise is an agent that goes rogue and Cameron Diaz is on the wrong plane. Mix in some action and a little romance and humor and there you have it.

This is a good rental for sure, but I'd mildly recommend this movie. It has just enough fun to enjoy it.

JONAH HEX(2010)

This movie looked like it could be a promising summer movie. It has Josh Brolin, Megan Fox, and John Malkovich starring in it. Not even a pretty face and two good actors could save this piece of shit of a movie! This was painful to watch. Never mind that the technical parts of the movie sucked. That's to be expected of much of the summer movies. This was just so terribly boring and stupid. It's only 72 minutes long and still found myself looking at the clock. Makes me wonder how bad the material was that got left on the cutting room floor. Story telling at it's worst and one of the more boring action movies I've seen in a long time.

Jonah Hex nearly survives death as he watches his family burned to death. He comes away from the near death experience with the ability to talk to the dead. He is then enlisted by the president to chase after John Malkovich(the man who killed his family).

"Sex and the City 2" and "Jonah Hex" are the two worst films this year! It's not even close. Do not watch either of these two movies. Unless you need something to help you fall asleep.

TOY STORY 3(2010)

Do not see this is in 3D! Another rip off!

Pixar has done it again. A great story with character we already know and love. They added a few new characters and it's a great way to seemingly end a terrific trilogy. I wasn't sure the story could make a third time around, but it's the best one yet! I didn't find myself laughing as much as some great Pixar films, but it's still got the same old charm. I really like how they included some things from the other two movies as well. The story really flows and keeps you interested until the final act. That's when it really takes off and is at it's best.

The gang is all back and worried about what will happen to them when their best friend goes away to college. They end up making their way to a day care center, where they must escape from the evil tyranny of toys that reside there.

This is a must see for everyone! One of the best films of the year. This will for sure be one of the contenders for my best picture award at the end of the year.

SPLICE(2010)

A small budget film with a lot of buzz around it. Not really my type of movie, but I gave it a shot for my fans out there. A really slow paced movie without much of a payoff at the end. You've seen this movie before, but it was original then. It's not scary or creepy? I'm not sure what the point of the story is here? It's more of a character piece than science/fiction/horror. The writing and acting are little stiff too. The movie didn't really do much for me, but almost put me to sleep(but I was tired).

A couple working on splicing DNA create a creature and choose to monitor it than destroy it as a baby.

I'd say it's worth a rental, but don't expect anything to exciting from it.

THE KARATE KID(2010)

I'm such a huge fan of the original movie that this remake could've been way worse than it was. It pays some nice homage to the original, but some of the lines are in subtitles, since they are spoken in Chinese. The classic lines don't have the same impact when you read them as opposed to when you first heard them. Jackie Chan does an adequate job following in Pat Morita's shoes. Jaden Smith sucks as the karate kid! Not funny or charming. You don't really ever feel yourself rooting for him. The kung fu scenes are highly updated and add some entertainment to the movie. There is a decent portion of the movie in english subtitles too. If I wanted to watch "The Karate Kid" in another language I'd rent "El Chico De Karate"(1995) or the special edition(2006).

A boy and his mom move to china when his mom gets a job there. A group of kids beat him up over a girl and soon he learns kung fu from the local maintenance man.

If I had never seen the original and I was a 12 year old kid then this would be a great movie. It's worth a viewing out of curiosity.

SEX AND THE CITY 2(2010)

And I thought the first movie was bad? This is boring and stupid! One of the worst movies I've seen in a while. I finish all the movies I start, but I didn't want to continue with this one. It's not funny or interesting on any level. No reason for this movie ever to have been produced.

I'm too angry to actually write about this movie.

I highly recommend that you don't see this movie.

THE A-TEAM(2010)

There have been rumors following this movie for over ten years now. I was extremely pleased to hear that they finally were going to get this movie made. Then the cast was announced and I was even more pleased. I was really hoping that they didn't fuck this material up! I've been a fan of the TV show ever since I was a kid.

You gotta know the show to appreciate this movie. This may be the best adaptation from the small screen to the big screen ever! They really nailed the characters and the tone of the show. They took the shows charm and blew it up(literally). They made everything more outrageous,crazy, and even funny at times. This is what summer movies are meant to be. One helluva ride from the great opening sequence to the incredible last 10 seconds of the movie(goose bumps). One of the funnest movies I've seen in a while.

I really enjoyed the style of the narration too. The director used his source material in a great and unique way.

This movie is loud,fun,crazy,stupid,corny, and over blown. I absolutely loved every minute of it.

A group of a special ops team is framed for murder and stolen money plates. They escape from prison to clear their names and get revenge. There's more to the story than that, but I don't want to ruin any of the fun.

KILLERS(2010)

I decided to give this movie a shot, even though it stars Ashton Kutcher. I've liked Katherine Heigl in her other movies, but this one is a little too cheesy and corny for me. Lot's of holes in the story and not enough character development to add legitimacy to the movie. Everything seems forced together.

Ashton Kutcher is a hit man that falls in love with Katherine Heigl while she's vacationing with her parents in Nice, France. He quits the business and moves back with her and they get married. His past catches up to him three years later.

This is supposed to be a comedy/romance/action movie, but it doesn't achieve any of those goals on a consistent basis. It's a watchable movie for the most part, but that's about it. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone except the average movie fan.

GET HIM TO THE GREEK(2010)

This is not a sequel to the surprise hit comedy in 2008("Forgetting Sarah Marshall"). It's more of a spin off with some guests appearances all over. Jonah Hill doesn't reprise his role from "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", but still is funny as hell. Russell Brand does reprise his role and is back and better than ever! If you liked the fictional songs from "Sarah Marshall" then you're in for a real treat in this movie.

The best comedy of last year came out this same weekend("The Hangover"). I think this rivals "The Hangover", but I'll let you decide that. A vulgar comedy that delivers some heart and laughs at the same time.

Jonah Hill is an intern for a record company. He must get him from London to NY to L.A. in 72 hours.

I highly recommend this movie to everyone. Go see it yesterday. This might be one of those instant classics amongst your circle of friends. Only time will tell.

ROBIN HOOD(2010)

Another Ridley Scott time period movie. He hit Oscar gold with his last effort in "Gladiator", but not this time. This movie reminds me more like another movie that claimed to be an origin story on a folk hero. 2004's "King Arthur" was the same style of movie. They used the names that we all know and tried to turn the myths and legends into a history lesson. "Robin Hood" is based more on history that "King Arthur" was, but it's still a period piece and focuses very little on the title character's life. It should've been named "Robin Hood begins". Very slow and little fun for a legendary tale. The last 30 minutes start to show promise and then it's over. A very average take on a beloved hero or anti-hero.

The story follows Russell Crowe on how he firsts comes to Nottingham and how his name came about.

This is a rental if you compelled to see this movie. I wish I could endorse it more, but I can't in good conscience.
