Captain America: The First Avenger

Stay for the credits, there's a scene of the next movie you don't want to miss.  I was so excited seeing it.  You'll have to guess why!  Yes, I loved this movie.  It was cool to see the back story this way.  I always like how they tie all the stories together.

The story is Chris Evans plays Steve Rogers, a really small guy trying to enlist to go off to war (WWII), but he keeps getting rejected.  Finally a doctor (Stanley Tucci - love him) notices and suggests Steve Rogers for an experiment to create an elite super-soldier unit.  Rogers turns super big and strong, but the formula is lost, so he's the only one.  He then becomes a symbol of strength and good for the American citizens.  This movie had some good action and I thought the acting was good.  The first scenes trying to make Chris Evans seem puny were a bit distracting, but not too off-putting.  This is a must see, I give it 3 stars!

Crazy, Stupid Love

This movie was crazy, stupid funny!  I loved it!  Steve Carroll really does clean up nice!!!  I liked Ryan Gosling's character and there were some very good twists and turns.  And one VERY funny scene, that alone makes this a must see movie!  I give it three stars!

Cowboys and Aliens

It's strange, but I don't understand why aliens visiting us in the era of the cowboy seems so much stranger then when they come to modern man?  It's just seems weird, like it's more unbelievable, but why???  So this movie made me think!  It wasn't too bad.  I had low expectations and did enjoy it a bit.  The acting didn't seem all that great, but special effects were ok and it kept my interest, for some reason.  Not a must see to me, but I did like it ok.  Good one to rent.

Horrible Bosses

This movie is horribly funny!  There were parts where I was choking on my drink it was so funny.  There are three horrible bosses, with Kevin Spacey taking the award for the worse, in my book.  He was great at being the worse by the way.  Then there are three employees who are tired of dealing with these horrible people.  They're the funniest part of the movie, and the stupid things they do once they decide they have to "take action".  I'd say this is a must see, if just for a few minutes in the middle, where it cracked up the whole theater!  I give it 3 stars.

Friends with Benefits

This is not a must see, but I did enjoy it.  The story is Mila Kunis is a headhunter in NYC and Justin Timberlake is someone she's recruiting for a position with her client.  They've both come out of relationships, badly, and are not looking for another anytime soon.  So they become good friends, and then decide they can have sex without ruining their friendship.  It's similar to No Strings Attached, but what they do better here is the sex is funnier.  It's not emotional, it's somewhat clinical, with each giving the other "directions".  They seem to make it work.  But yes, it is predictable.  It's cute, not great.  The chemistry between Justin and Mila is pretty good.  It's not a must see, but it'd be a good rental.  I give it 2 stars.

Winnie the Pooh

I had to go see this, Winnie the Pooh is one of my most favorite childhood characters!  And I really liked this movie!  I thought they were very cleaver how they incorporated the book character with the movie.  The story is that Eeyore has lost his "tael" and the whole gang is out looking for a replacement.  I laughed, there were parts where it was funny, and cute, and cleaver!  Yes, I liked this movie.  It's one of the better children's movie out in awhile.  If you have children, this is a must see.  If not, find a kid to borrow and go see it.  I give it 3 stars (out of four).

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

I LOVED this movie!  Of course, the book is much better, they can do so much more in a book, and JK Rowling did a superb job, but this movie did her justice.  I still cried towards the end, they conveyed the courage  of Harry well.  I wished they would have done a little more with Harry and Jenny's budding relationship, but I guess they didn't have enough time.  I found myself forgetting to breathe, the suspense was done well!  You HAVE to see this if you've seen any of the others or read any of the books or you've heard the name Harry Potter.  Though I wish they would have done some parts differently, it's only cuz of the books, so I'm giving it 4 stars!!!  (My first I think!)  That may be partly because of sentiment, but hey, it's my blog.
