Ratings 3 Stars = Must See 2 Stars = Good movie 1 Star = Watch it if you have nothing better to do 0 Stars = Stab your eyes with a fork, it'll be more fun

Expendables (2010) 1/2 Star Very disappointing movie. All those action stars and nothing new to give them a chance to shine, except the same old mercenaries overthrow a government routine and terrible dialogue. It was painful to watch Stallone, moreso than usual. Definitely a pass, your time is better spent elsewhere.

The Other Guys (2010) 1 1/2 Stars It had some good moments, but not enough to call it a good movie. Anything with Eva Mendes makes it watchable. I thought it could've been a lot better. It'll be part of pop culture though, so the good scenes in between the dull time will probably make it worthwhile for most.

Twilight Series (2008-2010) 0 Stars Drivel only a teenage girl would like, which thanks to my daughter I've had to suffer through. Team Jacob is better than team Edward though.

Inception (2010) 3 Stars Not the best movie I've ever seen, but gets three stars for originality alone. A must see movie for sure. Definitely has some great action scenes and new concepts that were conveyed very well on the big screen.

Salt (2010) 2 Stars Ridiculous throughout...definitely. Does Jolie carry the movie...definitely for me she does. I was willing to forgive ridiculousness to see her kick ass again. She's looking older, but it happens to all of us sooner or later...she still does it for me though. There were some great action scenes throughout as well.

Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore (2010) 2 Stars Good sequel and the kids will love it, while adults will also feel that their time isn't wasted. One of the better movies with talking animals this year.

Furry Vengeance (2010) 0 Stars Really, really, really bad. Even my daughter hated it and didn't want to watch the rest after only watching 30 minutes of it. Definite pass.

Toy Story 3 (2010) 2 Stars Starts off slow, but once it picks up pace and moves along it has some good moments. The kids will love it.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010) 2 Stars I liked it, but my daughter thought it was only "ok." As far as wizard movies go, I liked it better than the Harry Potter series and thought there were some good scenes throughout.

The Karate Kid (2010) 2 Stars Good movie for the kids, they'll love it and you'll see them really get into it. Watchable for adults as well. If you watched the original, you'll see many nods to the original and some of the changes work, while others miss the mark. Overall it's good though.

The Girl Who Played with Fire (2009) 1 1/2 Stars Foreign film from Sweden just released in the U.S. this year. I watched the subtitled version, which I heard is better than the dubbed version. Very slow moving and only watchable for people who like foreign films. Definitely not for kids due to mature and graphic situations.
This is the second film in trilogy btw.

Shrek Forever After (2010) 1 1/2 Stars Okay movie, but I'm kind of dulled on the series and it didn't really offer too much new to keep me interested. The kids will love it though.

Predators (2010) 3 Stars Great movie. This is how the Predator series should've been after the first movie. I was hoping "The Expendables" would be similarly as good, but what a waste of film that was. Predators keeps your interest throughout and introduces many new things to the franchise that will be sure to spawn sequels.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) 3 Stars Except for the ostriches, I thought this was a great movie. I like the jumping around on rooftops and off walls that the hero did and also liked the female lead (great voice) and thought she was used very well in the movie (whereas her role in "Clash of the Titans" wasn't as great). I thought the story was great and the plot moved it along at a nice pace. I've read online that a lot of people didn't like the movie, makes me think a lot of people have no taste.

The A-Team (2010) 2 Stars There are some great scenes in this movie, especially a certain scene with a tank. I thought the main cast was well chosen and overall it was a good movie for another adaptation of a television series.
