This movie is impossible to spoil...........
I can't even express to you how cool this movie was. First off AWESOME to see in the theaters. I agree with what someone said to me though - Imax might be a bit to much for this movie... strike that reverse it.... this movie might be too much for Imax. It's a LOT to pay attention to and I think on that big of a screen you would miss aspects that are important.
Word to the wise: PAY ATTENTION or you will be lost. Trust me! Do not go to this movie if you are sleepy LOL you will feel like you fell down the rabbit hole with Alice!
There's not much I can say other than that. Pay attention and be ready to be wowed! I love a movie with a twist and this had many by the end you feel like you need to untwist your brain!
Soooo WATCH IT! And if possible get to the theater while you can!!!! This ones worth the pricey admission!
No Spoilers.....
This movie has a decent cast. I read that it was one of Kristen Stewart's top 10 movies so I Netflixed it! Big mistake - in retrospect I don't even think it had much of a plot. Also Kristen Stewart was in literally 5 minutes of the movie. So whoever wrote that article was a moron.
Anyways don't bother I am not all that picky and it bored the crap out of me! It was not even worth 50 cents!

Here's another example of a trailer that did not need to show so many parts of the movie.For instance I don't consider this a spoiler because the trailer gave this away.... there is a part where you think Tom's character is dead and then you remember "that part in the trailer where they were running from bulls didn't happen yet" well guess what it's cause he's not dead! DUMB very very dumb trailer maker guy!!
Nonetheless.... good flick. It's a comedy action movie. Tom was characterized as having "multiple personalities" in the movie given he plays many of his past character types in the movie. For example: Jerry Maguire, Days of Thunder, Mission Impossible etc. But seriously when does that not happen? Pretty much in all movies you can see part of a character from another movie they were in (like Michael Myers in EVERY movie LOL he always sounds like Shrek!).
So bascially unless you have a severe dislike for either actor I say watch it - it's worth it.

First off - I'd say the trailer spoiled some of the movie BUT there are some pretty funny other parts to the movie too. (FYI Trailer editors: try not to give away SO much of movies I mean we would like to WATCH the whole thing not have half of it given away!) I have to say this movie's trailer wasn't half as bad as some I have seen..... I digress.
If you like the comedic stars in this movie then I say watch it! If you thought the trailer was hilarious then, and I know this is going to blow your mind, but you WILL think the movie is hilarious (shocking huh?) !!
I'd say this was a great flick with well chosen actors, decent amounts but not a ton of overly inappropriate parts (it's an Adam Sandler flick you HAVE to assume some parts will be inappropriate and uncomfortable - i.e. Rob Schneiders old wife!)
But as I said if you like the people in it then watch it but you can wait till it comes out on DVD the big screen doesn't add anything to this movie

Tiny Spoiler.....
So all in all this was a good flick. I would say pretty typical of Angelina Jolie films. She was all like poutty, angry, misunderstood and full of crazy lethal moves! Pretty much what one would expect in this sort of movie. So good for her way to change it up ;) (of course Changling was different and that movie sucked so maybe this was a good choice haha)
I think the other actors did a good job, I am a fan of Liev Scheiber he did well in this movie.
I guess the reason for the maybe is 1) If you are sick of Angelina type movies then you can live without this 2) If you hate movies without solid endings don't bother.
If neither option 1 or 2 bother you then go for it! You'll probably think it's pretty good!

I say if you are a fan of the first movie I suggest you watch this movie. Be warned it is quite corny but again if you liked the first movie this should not bother you!
It was action packed filled with a bit to many f bombs and too many lewd comments from one character - you will understand when you watch it who I mean!
I must say that that Laurence Fishburne's character could have been used a bit more in the movie but I think that the rest of the actors and actresses did a good job. All in all it is a good corny sci-fi adventure. Mind you it's no Aliens but hey who expected it to be?

Some spoilers but seriously it doesn't matter - the movie was awful!
Ok so if you are looking for an incredibly cheesy, corny mess of a movie and feel like you want to completely waste your time - then watch this! Otherwise seriously - don't bother!
This was filled with incredbily predictable plot sequences and incredibly HORRIBLE effects. I mean honestly Teen Wolf with Michael J. Fox that was made in the stinking 80's probably had better effects! Sad sad sad..... I found myself asking "Why am I watching this?" Then I remembered! My husband wanted to ;) For those of you who think I am a wimpy female who can't take the guts and gore of horror movies (if that's what you want to call this) then think again! I am a big fan of sci-fi, some horror, etc. (Notably the Alien series and Predator - look for my review on Predators this weekend!)
My husband thought it sucked too!
Sooooo all in all - Rotten Tomatoes (movie review site) had it right this time folks - ROTTEN ROTTEN movie! They gave it a 33% I'd give it a 10%....... Please PLEASE don't bother! Hanging out with Mr. Miyagi trying to catch a fly with chop sticks would be a better way to spend your time!

This is an AMAZING movie about an a woman with Autism. She was diagnosed with it at age 4 when they thought all autistic people were a lost cause and it was caused by their mother's not being loving enough!
This is a real eye opener to how true it is when the movie says that Temple Grandin (the main character with autism) is "different not less!" True for all people with autism they are unique they have a unique way of thinking. Some can obviously thrive like Temple (with the loving amount of help she received) and some with no help will not. But if you think about it that is much like those of us without special needs..... with help and encouragement we can thrive without it we may not.
I think that everyone should watch this movie. There are still to this day so many things that are misunderstood about those with autism. It is not a death sentence and it does not mean that the person will not accomplish anything in life. This is a wonderful story (biography pretty much) of a girl who defied all odds and expectations and accomplished way more than you or I will probably ever accomplish!
CHECK IT OUT! Well worth the money to rent it or catch it on TV as it is an HBO movie :)

For beginners my friend Liz told me that the Saoirse Ronan (also main character in The Lovely Bones which I highly recommend you watch - see review and trailer on my blog!) was good in City of Ember! I happened to catch it on a movie channel and DVR'd it :) So THANKS LIZ!
Good cast - Saoirse Ronan of course, Bill Murray (is the mayor of Ember) and Tim Robbins!
The main gist is that the world is unsafe so "the builders" create an entire city (Ember) underground and create a way to "EXIT" in 200 years when they deem it will be safe to live on Earth again. This "EXIT" strategy gets forgotten and in the midst of Ember falling apart a few kids try to find a way out.....
Great story! Watch it!!!!!!!!!! :)

This SERIOUSLY is one of the most depressing movies I have ever seen in my life. I highly recommend you to NOT I repeat NOT watch this movie! It is an insanely depressing outlook on marriage relationships you will leave the movie nothing but depressed! (even if I wanted to be depressed I would not choose to watch this movie!)
Spoilers follow.........
OK so spoiler time - movie in short form! Trust me after reading this you will know why you should NOT watch this! Kate and Leo's characters meet with all these fancy ideas to explore the world, travel, not be 'normal' boring married people... she gets pregnant! Whoops! So of course - no traveling. She stays at home he works a job he hates - three kids down the line they plan to move to Paris and just see how it goes for a year do the whole non-normal thing so they will be happy again.... she's pregnant again - except now she wants to get an abortion (I believe this was in the 50's so not so easy to do then) he is very against that. So they fight - she kisses their friends husband at some point he's miserable she's miserable. He's off at work one day and she sends the kids next door to play and gives herself an abortion. Walks downstairs and then you see a pool of blood at her feet. Next thing you know her husband and kids are at her funeral. The End!
Aren't you happy that you read that so you won't watch the misery!
Personally I am dead set against abortions in every way so that was just something that was horrible to me but even IF that part had not happened it still would have royally sucked!
A book that should have never been written and surely never made into a movie! Depress yourselves Richard Yates - geesh - don't depress all of America!!!

So here's my beef with this movie.... sorta depressing! This is not really one to sit down and watch with the kids really. I mean the monsters in this childs fantasy land even get depressed alot!
I'm more for movies like The Bridge to Teribithia (WATCH THAT for sure!!!) where mind you it was a bit sad but for the majority of the movie it was great! This movie was the opposite - a few moments of cuteness and what not but mostly just sad kid, sad monsters, sad mom.... maybe I'm too emotional LOL but it was just downright sad!
SOooooo if you are a huge fan of the book I guess you should watch it I know people who liked it - glad some people did. I don't remember the book being as depressing....but to each their own!
If you watch it I hope you do enjoy it - but watch Bridge to Teribithia too while you're at it :)

I'd say watch this if you like cop movies I guess. It was alright. Basic dirty cop movie. Not too great of an ending though in my opinion....
Spoilers!!!!.....
For one Brooklyn's "finest" is downright sarcastic for sure! These are pretty much dirty cops. For one reason or another. Cheadles character is undercover but won't catch the bad guy cause he's his friend now. One is stealing money when he is on raids so he can buy a new house because he already has 4 kids and twins on the way and a house filled with mold that is pretty much killing his unborn babies. So I gotta say I feel for him a bit (Ethan Hawke). Richard Gere is just a cop who doesn't care about anybody - pretty much just retiring.
Then at the end one cop shots another cop. A little thug kills a cop. And one walks away...
An utterly senseless end and depressing look on cops! Makes you feel not that safe for sure!!!
