Tangled – Fun and A Great use of 3D

The movie was a great take on Rapunzel. From the visually stunning animation Tangled was a great story along with lots of laughs for everyone. Disney did a great job with keeping it in their “style” and idea of a princess and her savior. I would recommend seeing the movie in 3D because it was one of the best movies I have seen thus far in 3D!

RED – Fun with lots of personality and laughs to keep you entertained

The movie starts out nice and peaceful and then everything gets crazy! The movie definitely makes you feel better about getting old because you get to watch these old Retired Extremely Dangerous men kick ass. The movie is based around ex CIA agents who are retired but the system seems to put them back in after someone wants them dead. An overall action flick that keeps you on the edge of your sits for the majority and the perfect amount of humor mixed in. Overall RED was a great movie with a new spin on the whole “kick-ass action” movie genre.

The Karate Kid – A surprising update.

Although the movie has nothing to do with karate I was still very impressed. The performances of Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan were great and the chemistry they had worked well. I remember walking into the movie not expecting much because of the original 1984 edition which is a classic, but this new update had a great story and meaning. If you were thinking about seeing this and were weary you don’t have to be because movie was good on many levels. This movie is one of those movies we can all take something from and grow from it.

Kick-Ass – The name says it all.

A funny movie that impressed me more than I thought it might. The story was simple, but Kick-Ass had a good theme and meaning behind it. I enjoyed watching it, especially the little girl “Hit Girl” kick some serious ass. Nicolas Cage also did a great job of acting, it was so awkward it was funny. I would suggest watching this movie when it hits DVD because of its originality and different take on the super-hero genre.

The Invention of Lying – Interesting concept.

The Invention of Lying is a unique movie about a world where no one tells a lie, only the truth comes out of everyone’s mouth until one day a man tells the first lie in the history of mankind. After he discovers he can tell lies, a whole new world opens up to him of money and trouble. Torn between taking advantage of others and doing the right thing he is left with a dilemma. The movie overall was not amazing, but a good take on something new and a good watch if you want to watch something of the ordinary.

Surrogates – Visually pleasing, but an overdone idea.

I recently watched Surrogates with Bruce Willis and I was impressed with the animation and how visually pleasing the surrogates were, but the story has been done a bit too many times with the same kind of idea. The movie ended up just being an action flick instead of having a good script. Surrogates had the right motive and idea it just fell short like many others in following through with a good story.

Sherlock Holmes – Fun and entertaining.

The Sherlock Holmes movie is directed by Guy Ritchie and features big actors such as Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes, Jude Law as Watson, and Rachel McAdams as Adler. What really made this movie entertaining throughout was the strong performances of the actors and the interesting take on the original detective. Robert Downey Jr. has been putting out solid performances in his last few movies and I hope that remains the same.

As for the movies story it was entertaining and quite funny at times. The movie sends Holmes and Watson on an adventure that puts there detective skills and wit to the challenge. Holmes is put to the test in bringing down his new nemesis, by using his famous intellect and fighting skills to unravel a devious plot that may destroy everything as he knows it.

An overall well-rounded movie that keeps you entertained and happy throughout.
