The Dark Knight

This was amazing! Heath Ledger definitely gave an oscar-worthy performance. Unforgettable.

The Dark Knight was fantastic. It was action packed and it was a revelation. The film was a comic book with a touch of realism. Heath Ledger is amazing; The Joker is the way he was in the comic books. He was funny, scary and pyschotic. Christian bale still makes a great Batman. Go see the film. There were a few surprises that were not expected. I will see it again.

Mamma Mia! Viewer Reviews
Mamma Mia!

I loved it! It was a fun, light-hearted romp through some of the ABBA greats. All my favorite songs were in it. It was a little hard to take a singing Pierce Brosnan seriously, I mean, this is Remington Steele we're talking about! Not to mention James Bond. But Meryl Streep was phenomenal!

I was really looking forward to seeing this new Hollywood musical. I had never seen the play, but am a big fan of ABBA's bouncy happy music. I have to say I was a bit disappionted. The performances were very uneven, and the actors singing ability ranged from quite good (Meryl Streep and Christine Baranski) to painful, namely Pierce Brosnan, in an awkward, stiff performance. I thought many of the roles were badly miscast and the direction was over the top. The two young leads playing Sophia and Sky were refreshing and a breath of fresh air. One of the best reasons to see this film is a character not listed in the credits, namely, the gorgeous Greek island.

Overall, you might be better served seeing a good production of the play or just breaking out your old ABBA CDs and singing along. For some good recent musicals, try Hairspray or Sweeney Todd instead… two better productions. And Johnny Depp and John Travolta can sing.

Steve Carell at his best. It reminded me a little of The Office. Very good, funny, ridiculous and good action/adventure. The was one of my favorite comedies this year. The storyline was well thought out. Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway were a great spy team together. I highly suggest this movie to anyone who wants some really funny humor. We just enjoyed the story!

Speed Racer

This was an entertaining film. It was not what I was expecting going into it. I am used to the cartoon version from when I was a kid. But I enjoyed the action/adventure story they developed. They used some old and new ideas of their own. Emile Hirsch did really well acting. It's entertaining for adults and kids; no foul language or bad violence. It's a very good movie to see on the big screen. The special effects blew me away in some of the races the Mach 5 (Emile Hirsch's car) raced in. Its not a typical race movie. Lots more to the story, with very unpredictable scenes.

I saw this movie last week and I was definitely not disappointed. It had action, comedy, fantastic special effects and a few surprises along the way. I would highly recommend this one as a go-see and go-buy when it comes out on DVD.

This movie was action packed, amazing special effects with an intriguing storyline. Angelina was sexy and the main character aced the role. The movie kept the audience in suspense and guessing to where the movie goes next. I was not disappointed in the non-stop action.

This move had me at the edge of my seat for most of the movie with all the action. Just at the end, it took a strange twist.

Wanted was suspenseful entertainment that was also groundbreaking. With it's Matrix-like special effects, the movie left a good impression. In Wanted, there were no dull moments.

Sex and The City is an excellent movie for fans and interesting for everyone else. Even though there are some risky scenes, this movie is very interesting with all the storylines that everyone can enjoy.

The Strangers

Another creepy, disturbing film is The Strangers, a remake of a French Amercian film on DVD called Them. Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman are good. It's a 1970s-style horror with lots of suspense, good shocks and some gore. A real treat for horror fans.

The Happening

Mike Myers finally returns to the big screen in 5 years not counting the Shrek movies. However, his return is not as wonderful as I would have hoped. Most of the jokes in this movie were not as well as one would have expected. Sure, some of the jokes were really funny, but most of the time you were waiting for the joke. It was good movie and I personally love crude humor, but not all have as much patience for that style of comedy as I do. All in all, I liked this movie but would not recommend this for everyone. I love Mike Myers and hope he continues in the direction he's going!

This was a lot better than any of M. Night Shyamalan's previous films. I liked where he was going with the story. I was just a little disappointed with Mark Whalberg's acting, along with with John Leguizamo. They are really good actors. It just felt forced when they spoke their parts in the movie. I loved the suspense and thrils. It was a little disturbing at times, but kept you on your seat wanting more and more. The middle will keep you going and as it all unfolds, you will have your mind guessing around the clock. Very scary, but very good film.

What a creepy, disturbing and thought-provoking film. It is M. Night Shyamalan's best film since The Sixth Sense and Signs. You will not look at plants and the wind the same again. The cast is good and Betty Buckley as a creepy hermit is amazing. Go see the film.

The Incredible Hulk

This was an awesome movie!! I could not believe how big of an improvement this action-thriller was to The Hulk. I was jumping out of my seat and on edge. Lots of suspense. Marvel has once again done it!! I loved watching Edward Norton play the part of Bruce Banner aka The Hulk. The beginning, middle and ending were really intense for any of the Marvel movies I have seen. This is a must see. I enjoyed watching how detailed they made the Hulk look on the big screen and his arch enemy the Abomination. Great story!! Must see on the big screen!!

I thought the movie was excellent. I would recommend this movie to everyone. This is a well rounded movie that contained action, romance, suspense and comedy. The Hulk explores other parts of the world for those that have never been to places like Brazil. The graphics in the design of the Hulk is incredible. You can take your family and you get your money's worth.

The newest The Incredible Hulk is the best Hulk movie so far. The movie a couple years ago just didn't quite make it. Edward Norton is very believable as the not so macho Banner who transforms into Hulk. There are more believable references to having to have baggy & elasticized pants (how could Lou Ferrigno ever have fit into Bill Bixby's snug jeans?). Loved the Stan Lee, Lou Ferrigno & even Bill Bixby ("The Courtship of Eddie's Father" rerun) cameos. The setting in Brazil was good also to show the poverty of the area for those of you who think you have it rough. All in all a very good movie.

The Incredible Hulk is better the first Hulk film. This is more like the TV series and the comic book character. Edward Norton and Tim Roth make good adversaries. The story is good, lots of action and a few surprises too.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

WOW, I was pleasantly surprised with this 4th installment. Harrison Ford at 65 was on top of his game. He was awesome. Karen Allen stepped back into this role like a pro. This was very entertaining and to me kept very true to the original premise of this series. While not my favorite of the 4 it is probably tied for 2nd. All Indiana Jones fans should see it. I plan to go again.

This movie was a great movie. It was action-packed and filled with awesome and interesting stuff. I am just wondering if Shia LeBeouf will become the new Indiana Jones! The only thing that did not like though was the ending. I think they could have come up with a WAY better ending than that.

This movie was good, although not as good as the previous ones. It gives the appearance of another sequel with another "Jr".

It was great and worth waiting for 19 years. The story was very good; it was action-packed with very funny one liners. Harrison Ford at 66 did not lose his touch. There are some surprises and a small dedication to Sean Connery and Delholm Elliot who passed away years ago. Cate Blanchett was great as a KGB Russian agent—cold and evil. Don't miss this. I want them to continue the series. Bring on Part 5. Go see it.

I saw this movie on opening week. It was not as good as the first one to me. It was a little bit of a let down, however it was interesting. Seemed to be a little to predictable.

This movie was good but It was not as good as the first Narnia. The action took to long to come. It was not quite as magical as the first one. The story was okay; I just thought that the writers could have come-up with a better story.

Robert Downey Jr. gave a stellar performance. He played the role well enough to make us believe the evolution of the character from downright arrogant to compassionate. The movie was action packed and had its humorous moments. All around a great film.

I thought the movie was alright. The acting wasn't very good. The movie was lacking suspense. And it was very predictable what was going to happen in the next scene, even though I never read the comic book. It also seemed to dumb down the military.

Iron Man was a great movie with awesome special effects similar to those in the movie Transformers. Like Transformers, I went to his movie due to my 10-year-old wanting to see it. I was dreading it, but it was full of action and ended up being an enjoyable adventure movie full of action.

This is a great movie and reminded me of "My Best Friend's Wedding" except the roles are reversed. Instead of Julia Roberts going after the groom, you have Patrick Dempsey going after the bride. The scenery of Scotland was very interesting in the movie. A cute romantic movie for any couple to enjoy.

Baby Mama Viewer Reviews
Baby Mama

Baby Mama will be very relatable to any woman over 35, with no wedding band, and who doesn't own a stroller. So, if your ring finger is bare and you don't know who " Dora the explorer " is, this may strike a chord with you. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler star as client and surrogate mother, respectively. They couldn't be more different. They wind up living together in Kate's (Fey) apartment, when Angie (Poehler) has a fight with her boyfriend, played in a funny turn by Dax Shephard. Also, watch for Steve Martin as Kate's trippy boss. When the two polar opposites live together and prepare for a baby's arrivial, wackiness ensues. Kate's doorman is a clever addition to the cast. And by the end, everyone grows, matures and learns a life lesson…well, almost everyone. I think it's a bit of a chick flick but men will like it too.
