Sherlock Holmes: A great adventure was in store for us at this movie. It was a
movie that was a lot of fun. Downey and Law were perfect together as Holmes
and Watson. Some may think the fighting and violence was not Sherlock
Holmes, but it made for a great time in the multiplex. If you don't get out to see
this in the theaters before it's gone, I definitely recommend a DVD or HBO
viewing!

Up in the Air: It's Oscar time, and this one's getting some talk for being up for
some biggies. We decided this would be movie one for 2010. We liked the less
than two hour running time too. George Clooney is a great actor and I for one
like to watch him act. He really carried the movie, but there are two solid female
actors with him. The other supporting parts were actors that you would
recognize, so an all around solid cast. The Mrs. mentioned that there were parts
that needed to move a bit, but there were also some laugh out loud moments
too. It's a good movie that tells a good story, what more could you ask for. I
suggest catching this on DVD or HBO, but definitely worth seeing.

Avatar: With Christian, Zach, and Yvette along, Spydey and the Mrs. took in our
first flick in 4 months! The only way to come back was Avatar in 3D. The scenery
and backdrop of the world of Pandora was worth the price of admission. First 3D
movie I've seen in a theater in forever, and this one was different to begin with.
The 3D only enhances the pictures on the screen. No swords, bullets or bomb
parts flying at your head. It's used to increase your feeling of being on Pandora.
It was very cool. The Mrs. liked the story more than I did, and that is reflexed in
our scoring below. This movie is a must see in the theaters with the glasses and
for the last three weekends, it looks like people are.

(500) Days of Summer: Anniversary night date movie for us, and we loved it. A
very different kind of romantic comedy. It's like the narrator says in the
beginning, it's a story of boy meets girl but NOT a love story. Very well done and
well cast. It moved along quite well at 97 minutes, which was enough to tell the
story without getting bogged down in the brutalness of it all! And there is some
brutalness involved with the main character Tom. If you don't make it to the
theaters for this, definitely check it out on rental or HBO. You'll like it.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Grade A summer blockbuster fare. We
finally made it out to this one and was surprised how full the theater was. No
wonder it's doing boffo box office. Director Michael Bay likes to blow stuff up and
kinda have a story that goes along with the explosions. There's some story gaps
and continuity issues throughout, but overall a very enjoyable movie. If you like
the robot fights, you'll need to see this one in the theaters. It just won't be the
same on the small screen at home. They have definitely set it up for another
installment.

The Hangover: Funny movie of guy's bachelor party in Vegas that goes
completely off the tracks. Funniest character was Alan, played by Zach
Galifianakis. Like they said in the movie, he's too stupid to be insulted, which
makes for some hilarious dialogue. I remember him from 2005's The Comedians
of Comedy (good stuff). One thing I wish I hadn't done before going was seeing
all the trailers and sneak peeks. I felt that many times I'd already seen stuff, just
not in the right order. Quick 90 minute run with the action pretty fast moving and
a nice solid finish. I'd see this one in the theaters if I were you.

Star Trek: An amazing reboot of a classic series, the new Star Trek movie rocks.
Both Trekkies and newbies will enjoy this go 'round. The casting was perfect and
for movies like these, where the characters have been known before that's a
must. All the major characters were perfectly portrayed and the story was tight
and well done. The Romulans are the baddies in this one and there's some time
travel and intergalactic misunderstandings involved in the story as well. Of
course, right? Easily the best Star Trek since the Wrath of Khan in 1982. I really
like where this new group is going and look forward to their next adventure. This
is one you hit the theaters for. Enjoy!
