Avatar: The Last Airbender
By Jose

Air, Water, Earth, Fire. Four nations tied by destiny when the Fire Nation launches a brutal war against the others. A century has passed with no hope in sight to change the path of this destruction. Caught between combat and courage, Aang (Noah Ringer) discovers he is the lone Avatar with the power to manipulate all four elements. Aang teams with Katara (Nicola Peltz), a Waterbender, and her brother, Sokka (Jackson Rathbone), to restore balance to their war-torn world.?? Based on the hugely successful Nickelodeon animated TV series, the live-action feature film “The Last Airbender” is the opening chapter in Aang’s struggle to survive.

Shyamalan better get this right and make this a great movie adaptation of the show. If not he will become a failure only known for his twist endings. Me personally, I believe he can deliver a decent movie based on the fact that Shyamalan and his kids are fans of the animated series.

I have heard so much about the cartoon itself being really great being a must see. So I am definitely going to pick up and watch the series as soon as I can. That being said I have not seen much of the cartoon to begin with yet I really want to see this movie. The movie feels like it will bring something different even though it is an adaptation of an existing property. I had this feeling earlier in the year with the Percy Jackson movie; but then the movie loosely followed the book and I came out of it with mixed feelings. I hope with The Last Airbender that I leave happy and wanting more.

Oh yes the movie is being released in normal and 3D versions. The 3D version is a conversion so obviously I am seeing this in regular release. I dislike this 3D nonsense that is taking over movies these days. So unless the movie is filmed with 3D tech and or meant to be in 3D there is no need to delay movies and add millions of dollars onto the budget because the studio wants to jump on the Cameron/Avatar bandwagon.

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Trailer

I know, this is something that isn't done much here but it's for a good reason. When you see something awesome, it would be wrong just not to share it with the world. Granted, this has probably already been seen by millions of people, we just want to share this with you!

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows is coming out in November but the trailer is out now and I have to say, Twilight can suck it. The last couple Harry Potter movies have been good but haven't been as highly praised as the previous four movies. The last installment in the Harry Potter movie series, being split into two different movies, is going to change all that.

So, I Introduce to you, the new Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows trailer. Enjoy.

Shrek Forever After Review

By: Robert Acosta

Cast:
Mike Myers as Shrek
Eddie Murphy as Donkey
Cameron Diaz as Fiona
Walt Dohrn as Rumplestilskin

Plot: As Shrek struggles with the daily routines of life, he wishes he could back to the good old days. Though, once his wish is granted, he has to fight to get back the life he took for granted.

Review: The Shrek name has become more of just a memorable, lovable character. He's an empire! With games, clothing, toys and many more Shrek items, what could possibly stop him from becoming one of the best animated characters of all time? A not so great 3rd movie in the series. Did Shrek Forever After redeem the name of Shrek?

For the most part, yes. Shrek the Third wasn't completely horrible but it was bad. It had completely gotten away from the standards that the Shrek name holds itself to. Shrek and Shrek 2 were very classic animated, family movies. So maybe following up with a 3rd part was a daunting task. Nonetheless, it couldn't have been that hard. It still did well in the box office but money doesn't always result in a good movie.

One of my early complaints that noticed within the first half hour of the movie was, was there any need for 3D? Yes, it's the huge "new" technology that most movies seem to come out in now. In this case, I didn't see too many cases, if any at all, where 3D was honestly needed. What makes it worse is that Shrek was released in IMAX theaters. Really? Maybe one or two scenes could have looked nice in IMAX but the whole movie? This whole process just becomes unnecessary and money wasting.

In Shrek Forever After, you see the movie head back in the right direction, much more towards the first two Shrek installments. Small witty comments, funny appearances from the three little pigs, pinocchio and now my favorite character of all time, Butterpants. Butterpants may have honestly stolen the show in the beginning...maybe the whole movie!

I'll be honest, it's hard to review a movie like Shrek Forever After. It's the 4th film in the series where the main protagonist characters are back. The actors all reprise their roles in the movie so you know the acting or voice acting is going to be good. I still have a soft spot in my heart for both Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy, even if they are both fading out of films more and more by the month.

Overall, Shrek Forever After is worth watching. It has the comedy, some action, some emotion, and it goes back to it's roots from the beginning of the series. Is it worth an IMAX admission? No. Is it worth a 3D admission? No. If you can, it's better to just watch in regular resolution.

Eclipse
By Jose

In Eclipse, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob; knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life.
Seems all the Twilight movies have to deal with the struggle of love between this threesome. I have a solution! Do just that. A threesome. Everyone gets a turn with one another in every which way you can imagine. Problem solved. But that is not what I am looking for in this movie. David Slade is directing this installment and I really would like to see what he does with this franchise. Plus who is not looking forward to a vampire and giant wolf all out attack.
I know I am going to get chewed out because I want to see this but it is a guilty pleasure. I really enjoyed that awkwardness between Edward and Bella in the first movie. Even though it might have been unintentional and just showed the lack of talent or done on purpose. Yet I liked what was given to me. The second, just hammered into me that Stephenie Meyer hates dogs. Or some really huge love of pale British boys. The second movie made me like the relationship between Jacob and Bella better than her and Edward. But the dumb idiot still gets all wet every time Edward shows his shiny ass. Bella for the love of common sense you have a guy in Jacob that will do anything for you, literally (considering the huge bulk up Lautner did). Yet you give him blue balls and tease the poor kid.
I am not expecting a great movie from Eclipse? No. I am only expecting a fun yet hilarious attempt of stealing the thunder from the Harry Potter franchise. Which I might say is not possible. For I may be a Team Jacob member, but Gryffindor and Hogwarts will forever be my home.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
June 30th
Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Dakota Fanning

Predators

From the hot jungles to the concrete jungles. The perfect prey versus the perfect hunter. Predators is the official third movie involving the creatures known simply as Predator. Now yes there has been two recent movies with this creature, Alien VS Predator and Alien VS Predator: Requiem, but regardless of how bad they were they are not true squeals to the first two Predator movies and the many Alien movies. They were stand alone failures putting both franchises in jeopardy. Then here comes Robert Rodriguez and Nimrod Antel. What they created seems to be quite possibly a great entry to the franchise. We have a group of earths greatest killers thrown together on a planet to be the prey to the best hunters in the galaxy. Yes many will say it feels too much like the first one. But that is what this movie needed. The first saw a Predator hunting soldiers in a jungle on earth. Then we had a predator hunting humans in a city on earth. Now we have a group of predators hunting a group of humans on their turf not ours. I honestly pumped about this movie and can’t wait to check this out once released.

Predators
July 9th
Adrien Brody, Laurence Fishburne, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Danny Trejo, Walton Goggins, Derek Mears

Drag Me To Hell

Drag Me To Hell

By Jose

Plot

A loan officer who evicts an old woman from her home finds herself the recipient of a supernatural curse. Desperate, she turns to a seer to try and save her soul, while evil forces work to push her to a breaking point.

Review
Christine Brown (Alison Loham) is a loans officer at a bank but is worried about her where she is going in life. She's in competition with a colleague for an assistant manager position and isn't too sure about her status with a boyfriend. Worried that her boss will think less of her if she shows weakness, she refuses a time extension on a loan to an old woman, Mrs. Ganush, who now faces foreclosure and the loss of her house. In retaliation, the old woman place a curse on her which, Christine learns, will result in her being taken to hell in a few days time. With the help of a psychic, she tries to rid herself of the demon, but faces several hurdles in the attempt.

Drag Me To Hell surprised many by actually being a good “classic” horror movie. Of course with Sam Raimi directing what do you expect. The scares are great and unexpected. The atmosphere of the movie felt suspenseful. I mean there is plenty more to say of the good of this movie. It didn’t need graphic gore and nudity like most horror movies use too much of. It felt like a great horror movie from the 80’s.

But there was a couple things that got to me. Too much use of CGI. There were many scenes where it worked and was needed. The hell grapping scenes, the ghosts/spirits, and a couple of stuff here and there. But then CG was used a couple of times that should have been skipped. Green vomit that, yes looked gross, but obviously added later on. You see it pouring on the girl but yet she is clean and dry. If you were going to go for it they should have went all the way and added it physically to the actress. The same thing later on involving a arm and mouth. Certain CG effects were sloppy and turned me off.. Yet the practical/physical effects were great. The possessed goat, make up effects, were all good. I would have liked them to use more of that instead of CGI.

Final Thoughts

The early trailers for Drag Me to Hell dubbed it as "the return to classic horror", and for once at least, they are correct.

Sam Raimi managed to incorporate genuine thrills and terror using the old-fashioned format of surprise, misdirection and suggestion. As a frequent viewer of horror films, little surprises me, but in this film I was caught off-guard several times while watching it.

While the majority of the movie is kept on a serious and foreboding level, much like the original "Evil Dead", Raimi can't help but throw in elements of the absurd and slapstick during some of the more horrific scenes, reducing the tension and echoing the latter 2/3 of the "Evil Dead" trilogy.

While I have nothing against the modern trend of horror movies to provide shocks merely in the form of how much blood and gore they spill, this flick was wonderfully refreshing. It's a must-see, not just for Raimi fans, but for anyone who loves a good scary story and a great movie in general.

Toy Story 3 Review

By: Robert Acosta

Cast:
Tom Hanks as Woody
Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear
Ned Beatty as Lotso
Joan Cusack as Jessie

Plot: As their owner Andy departs for college, Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the rest of the toys face reality and realize they are not as wanted and in demand as they once were and end up at a daycare, where everything is not as it seems.

Review: 11 years in the making from Toy Story 2 to Toy Story 3 released last friday. I cannot tell you how excited as I was at the end of last year seeing posters, teaser trailers and full trailers of the movie. I got even more excited when I saw that this movie looked like the only movie worth watching in June. Of course I found out I was wrong when I saw Get Him to the Greek and really enjoyed it.

As seen in the trailer, the owner of Woody, Buzz and the rest of the gang, is off to college. When you go to college, the toys you play with as a kid are usually thrown away. You get to play with a different set of toys. You get where i'm going with this. Back to the review!

All the toys have to deal with being not wanted anymore, not being played with anymore and ultimately, thinking they're going to be thrown out. In a complete mix up, the toys do end up being thrown out but find a way to be shipped to a day care. At first, this day care seems like heaven to them but once they see how things are being controlled at the day care, they want out.

First off, i'd like to say that this is going to be a good review. 11 years in the making and i'm gonna write horribly about a great movie? It just wouldn't make sense.

Whether you go see it in 3D or regular, sometimes better, 2D, you're going to have a good time. All the characters you had fun times watching on screen in the previous two movies are back and even better then before. They crack jokes, interact with each other like a family and try to save each other from dangerous situations.

Of course the main characters are Buzz Lightyear and Woody so the story centers around them. At the same time, a lot of time is given to the other toys as well. Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, Rex, Slinky and Jessie are all featured pretty heavily in the film, which is nice to see. They provide a lot of great comedic moments and completely add more depth to the movie.

One thing to keep in mind is the film is kind of short. It's only about a 1 hour 30 minutes, maybe a little bit more. I felt like it was short, sweet and to the point and all but I would have like maybe another 15-20 minutes worth of scenes. This could be the last Toy Story we ever see or another 11 years til the next one!

Other than the movie being a bit short, you honestly can't go wrong with Toy Story 3. Some people may see a preview for Toy Story 3 and go "Oh this is for kids." That's not entirely true. If you were a fan of the first two movies, you'll love this one, no matter what age. If you just want to take the kids out to see a movie and Toy Story 3 happens to be your choice, you're still going to love it.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5. 

Get Him to the Greek Review

By: Robert Acosta

Cast:
Jonah Hill as Aaron Green
Russell Brand as Aldous Snow
P Diddy as Sergio Roma
Elisabeth Moss as Daphne Binks

Plot: 10 years after Aldous Snow's famous concert at the Greek theater, a record company is called upon to escort Snow to the theater for the concert.

Review: My first impression of the movie, right around the time this movie was being rumored, I thought that it wouldn't work. Taking two characters from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, one with somewhat of a big role(Aldous Snow played by Russell Brand), the other not so much and putting them in their own film. Of course, both Jonah Hill and Russell Brand have both been in their own movies, but never fully starred in movies.

With all that said, the movie turned out to be better than expected. They both have some obvious good chemistry because they've worked together before and it's pretty clear. The scenes they have together are pretty funny and very fluid and for the most part, the best scenes in the film. The supporting actors in the movie aren't bad either and range from the highly famous P Diddy, who plays Aaron Green's boss, to the virtually unknown Elisabeth Moss who plays Aaron Green's girlfriend. They all did a good job of providing some small laughs, though Diddy did seem a bit unnatural but that is to be expected. He's obviously not an actor, has done a little bit in his long career but his delivery of lines isn't as smooth as an actors is. Just a side note, not something that really hindered the movie.

The range of comedy in this movie is large. Large in the sense that it could have you not laughing at all to laughing embarassing loud. If you've got a real silly sense of humor then this is definitely the movie for you. If you're into the "smart" type of comedy like Saturday Night Live or things of that nature, then don't waste your time with this movie. Fans of Forgetting Sarah Marshall or really any of Judd Apatow's productions should definitely check this out.

Soundtrack is somewhat important in this movie, I know I don't say that much. The soundtrack is pretty funny. Also something I don't say a lot. If you listen closely to the lyrics, of course you'll catch some sexual innuendos or some sort of disease reference and it not only leads to laughs but some pretty catchy tunes. Even the soundtrack may be worth picking up after seeing this movie.

One thing that was told to me after seeing this movie by a friend was "You don't really go to the movies to see real life situations being taken care of how they would be in the real world." That point is even more emphasized in this movie. Certain things really won't make sense and you'll probably say to yourself, " that's not how things would have gone down in the real world." Some things just seemed to happen without any explanation as to why they were happening. I know it's a comedy and all but there has to be some sort of purpose for getting into a threesome other than just "wanting" to get into one.

Overall, the movie is much funnier than I thought. You watch the trailer and see some funny moments but the real gist of the comedy is found in parts not shown in the trailer. Now these parts may have you chuckle or may have you laugh out loud. This isn't The Hangover which for the most part has been widely accepted as hilarious. Nonetheless, if you're looking for some good laughs, Get Him to the Greek is the movie to see.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

In His Life: The John Lennon Story Review

By: Robert Acosta

Cast:
Phillip McQuillian Phoenix as John Lennon
Blair Brown as Mimi Lennon
Daniel McGowan as Paul McCartney

Plot: The story takes place before The Beatles make it big and specifically takes you through John Lennon's story from beginning to right before The Beatles head to America.

Review: It's rare that I see a movie on TV and have to review it just a couple hours after I see it. Now I warn you, just because i'm about to do something I rarely do, doesn't mean it's going to be a good review for the movie.

For starters, I am a huge fan of The Beatles. I don't exactly know their full history but I have some kind of idea when it comes to how it all came together. Some like to think the gods just put them together and they made great music. Well, close enough.

So in terms of the accuracy of the movie based on the facts they had, I can't comment. Though nothing seems too far-fetched or crazy. I do like the direction they took with the movie, making it specifically before The Beatles go to America, we get to see the story that most people don't know a lot about. We know more about Lennon with Yoko Ono, his peace idealogies and the late Beatles music than we do about The Quarrymen and being in Liverpool.

On that note, it is a 2 hour movie. You would think that 2 hours, or 120 minutes, could be enough to tell a good story about someone. But for a man like John Lennon, it is very difficult to sum up anything about him in 2 hours, let alone some 20 years of his life or specifically focusing on 5 years of his life. The movie felt very rushed, especially when you get to the middle, going more towards the end. Things just seem to be coming out of nowhere with no explanation or background.

A very similar movie pulled off my complaint extremely well. The movie was about Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 and all the years leading up to and involving their fame. What made the movie great, in my opinion, was that it was super long. I believe somewhere in the 3 to 4 hour range and had to be broken up into four 1 hour long episodes. Yes, it was extremely long but it mostly covered everything and didn't leave a feeling of being rushed.

Another complaint for me was the actors. It seemed like the only person who wasn't wrongly casted was Paul McCartney played by Daniel McGowan. He had the look, the voice and seemingly acted like McCartney. Now if this was a movie about McCartney then i'd feel a little better but it's not. It's a movie about Lennon. I didn't like the actor who played Lennon all too much, whether he was told to act like that or not, it just didn't look right. He over emphasized things when things should have just been normal, he wasn't nearly as witty as Lennon was at that age, nothing felt natural.

My last complaint, I promise. The soundtrack is obviously going to be comprised of early Beatles songs and lots of covers they did before they wrote their own stuff. That's fine because I sort of favor the earlier stuff over the later stuff. What I didn't like is that they had the actors actually sing the songs, or had some other voices sing The Beatles songs and use them in the movie. That definitely just turned me off. There is a reason you won't find any of The Beatles original songs on iTunes. There is a reason The Beatles Rock Band game disabled the ability to transfer beatle songs into any other Rock Band video game. They are masterpieces, not meant to be done over by anyone else. I would rather have seen the actors dumbly perform the songs as the original is being played and they're just lip syncing.

Because the movie was about John Lennon, I watched but was not impressed. Looking for a good story about John Lennon being told in movie form? Wait for Nowhere Boy coming out in October in limited release with Lennon being played by Aaron Johnson from Kick-Ass.

Overall: 1.5 out of 5.

The Losers

The Losers

By Jose

Plot

After being betrayed and left for dead, members of a CIA black ops team root out those who targeted them for assassination.

Review

Before I start with my review I want to say a couple of things. The Losers was better than what everyone has been saying a writing. Could it have been better of course. All movies ever made regardless of how much money, who directed it, and how much love and admiration it gets, all could be better. Some more than others. Another thing that hurt the Losers was comparing it to the A Team, which is being released within months of each other. Similar yes but totally different. One is a remake of a old TV series the other is a comic book. Plus there's no way one can go into a movie and enjoy it when they've already convinced themselves they are going to hate it.

Now on to the movie. Starts off meeting the team played by Jeffery Dean Morgan (Clay), Chris Evans (Jensen), Idirs Elba (Rogue), Columbus Short (Pooch), and Oscar Jaenada (Cougar), The Losers. They are on a mission to target a drug lord and blow up the area. They see kids being brought in and attempt to call off the strike but some shady, crooked individual named Max (Jason Patric) tells them to do what they are there to do regardless of the kids. So The Losers break off and save the kids. But is seems that Max has other plans. The helicopter that would extract the team can only take the kids and not them while flying off the helicopter get blown up with the kids in it. They vow to get revenge on Max yet the team is stranded in another country and presumed dead. Then enters Aisha played by Zoe Saldana. She also wants Max dead for her own reasons and wants the Losers to help.

From here on out we get hijacked military helicopters, shoot outs and explosions, funny moments provide by Pooch (Short) and Jensen (Evans). I really like Jensen’s scene when he is sent to get codes for this hard drive and his love of the Petunia’s, his nieces soccer team. We get some double crossing, experimental “green” super weapons, just down right great action. All the actors did a great job and the movie itself was fun.

Final Thoughts

Overall The Losers was not given it’s due. People seem to have this need to hate movies and yet they still go out and see it just so they can bash it yet again. That is where that quote from earlier comes from. There's no way one can go into a movie and enjoy it when they've already convinced themselves they are going to hate it.
Stop this.
Really.
Every movie made will not be masterpieces. Movies are to entertain if the movie did not live up to it they so be it. But don’t start hating it before you actually see it. I may say what I say about films before I see it. I am guilty. But if I end up seeing one of those movies I forget all that and start fresh. Once the film is over and I didn’t enjoy it. I didn’t enjoy it and vice versa. So once again movies like the Losers are not going to be blockbuster films they are made to entertain. So yes regardless of what everyone says I liked The Losers.

Here Comes June

We've slowly (or rapidly depending on how you see it) approached the half way point of 2010 and the summer movie season is nearly upon us. Some may argue, it's already here! With movies like Iron Man 2 and Prince of Persia it's hard to argue that the summer movie season isn't here.

Is the official summer movie season going to heat up? only one way to find out. Here are the movie releases for the month of June:

June 4

• Get Him to the Greek
• Marmaduke
• Killers
• Splice
• Ondine(x)

June 11

• The A-Team
• The Karate Kid

June 18

• Toy Story 3
• Jonah Hex
• Cyrus (x)
• I am Love (x)
• The Killer Inside Me (x)

June 25

• Grown Ups
• Knight & Day

June 30

• The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

Robert Acosta:
So May delivered on a couple of movies, including Iron Man 2 and more recently Prince of Persia and MacGruber. May was a solid month and usually does a good job of setting up what the summer may look like. Lets hope for more solid films in June, July and August.

To be honest, I don't think there is much to be excited about. To start off the month we have the characters from Forgetting Sarah Marshall starring in their own movie in Get Him to the Greek. I loved Forgetting Sarah Marshall but was there really a need to make a movie about them? I'm hoping this movie offers up some laughs at least, but right now i'm doubting that.

Both Marmaduke and Killers looks half ass'd and not even worth the thought of going to see. Maybe if you have kids, than Marmaduke could be a fun movie to watch but I have no reason to watch Killers. As for Splice, just watch the trailer over and over, they show you everything you need to know.

I can't say that The A-Team looks promising but should offer some good action. I never saw the original show but then again that seems to be the case with me for a lot of things. Karate Kid also looks to offer up some good action, provide some cheap comedy and maybe a little nostalgia for the people who saw and loved the original movies. We'll see if it'll be that good.

Speaking of Nostalgia, one of the only movies i'm looking forward to is Toy Story 3. I remember seeing both Toy Story 1 and 2 in theaters as a kid and loving them so going back to finish up the trilogy is going to be nice. I'm sure a lot of people share that feeling with me, hell they may be even taking their kids to the see Toy Story 3.

I don't want to comment on Jonah Hex cause it looks like crap. For some reason, Megan Fox's career to me is just going downhill. Ever since the end of Transformers 2, it just hasn't looked good to me. Add this piece of crap to her list of crap.

Grown ups seems to offer up some laughs but can it be consistent to have people laughing throughout most of the movie? I'm not sure. I'm big fans of Kevin James, Adam Sandler and Chris Rock but all 3 in the same movie along with David Spade and Rob Schneider may not work. Only time will tell.

Finally, Eclipse is here. You can tell by the lack of an exclamation point that I am not excited. Even though in the trailer Eclipse looks to be better than the other 2 movies released, I can't say that i'm convinced that it's going to be a good movie.

Jose Diaz:
So the summer movie season is officially on yet I feel that it started with a poof instead of a bang. Iron Man 2 did well and continues to do so. Shrek 4 is doing what it was meant to do. Then there is the rest of the movies. Robin Hood did not prove to be a money maker, Sex in the City 2 seems to have suffered greatly from the sequel curse, and MacGruber failed badly (regardless of how funny it was). What happened May?


So here comes June. Looks like we have a good selection of movies coming out this month. A bit better than how May looked. Get Him to The Greek starring Jonah Hill and Russell Brand which looks like it is going to be a lot of fun. Splice seems to be the horror of the month yet from the trailers, we have seen the whole movie. I mean they gave away how the creature looks from small to adult stage. So what is the reason for me to go see it? Maybe an executive producer by the name of Guillermo del Toro. The remake of A Team is this month and say what you want but this is a 50/50 for me. Then here comes Toy Story 3. Pixar’s first trilogy of fantastic movies. I can’t wait to see this and I am hoping that Pixar did not get lazy and delivers a worthy film. We end the month with another comedy, Grown Ups, starring Adam Sandler, Salma Hayek, Steve Buscemi, Kevin James, Maria Bello, Jamie Chung, Rob Schneider, Dave Spade, Chris Rock, Maya Rudolph, Gary Busey, Norm McDonald, Tim Meadows, Colin Quinn, and the kitchen sink. And another movie by the name of Eclipse the third part to the Twilight franchise. Which I am looking forward to due to David Slade directing.

So that was all the movies I was looking forward to. Now here are the rest of the “hope we break even” and the “we are cashing a paycheck” group. Marmaduke. I don’t care who is voicing what animal the dog does not speak in the comic strip and neither does the family own a Mexican cat. So the movie fails. Now Ashton Kutcher and that dumb idiot from Grey’s Anatomy in Killers. Sigh. Knight and Day starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. I have not seen any trailer or picture of this movie and it comes out in a couple of weeks. Epic fail right there. And here comes the “most likely going to make money due to a famous father and an Oprah endorsement” The Karate Kid starring Jackie Chan and one of Will Smiths offspring.

Overall June seems half decent and only seems to serve the purpose of whetting your appetite for July’s selection of movies. But hey I could be wrong and be surprised.
