TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE


This movie was fantastic! Better than the first two, action packed, and really serving you supernatural fierceness! The additional elements not in the book fit in perfectly, and all the actors really felt genuine in their roles. Looking forward to more Dakota Fanning who's villainous vamp reminds me of another little evil girl.

I def. give it two fangs up!

HENRY CAVILL STARS IN "WAR OF THE GODS"

Very exciting news! Our ever lovable and devastatingly handsome Henry Cavill has been chosen to play Thesus in Warner Bros new movie epic "War of the Gods." The movie will also star Mickey Rourke as the villain, King Hyperion, and the gorgeous Fredia Pinto as Phaedra. This possible 3-D adventure will surely be AMAZING!

ALICE IN WONDERLAND


I'm sad to report that this movie was not good. The story didn't work, and the ending was awful. And even though we get some fun moments with the Red Queen and the visuals were amazing, the rest of the movie sucked. And I say "sucked" because with the hype, it should have been amazing. (*SPOILER ALERT) We revisit Alice 13 years after she descended into the rabbit hole, and she's about to be proposed to by an English Lord who she does not love. She escapes down the rabbit hole, but cannot remember that she had been there before. As she meets all the fantastical creatures of this world, she finally begins to remember, and helps them thwart the evil Red Queen's plans. I compare it to Robin William's HOOK , which had basically the same plot, but the execution was not there. Sorry Johnny Depp, even your commitment to the character couldn't help the suckage. If you have kids 9 and younger, they will enjoy it. But besides that, make sure you only pay for a matinee, or wait for the DVD.

Rotted.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief


Percy Jackson finds out he's the son of an Olympian God and a mortal, and sets out on a quest to recover Zeus' greatest weapon before the Gods start a war with each other. Now, my expectations were very low for this movie, but I actually thought it was good. Def. a weekend matinee with the kids, but I feel like everything fit together very well. Newcomer Logan Lerman plays Percy, a 17 year-old with an absent father and an uncanny affinity for water. He's got the Gossip Girl hair, the stunning blue eyes, and is very likable as our reluctant hero. And as a big fan of Greek mythology, I was happy to see a variety of characters splashed across the screen. *SPOILER ALERT

They give you Medusa, satyrs, a minotaur, furies, the 12 Gods, and much more. Great special effects, a scene stealing sidekick, and a beautiful demigod played by another newcomer, Alexandra Daddario. Go see it if you're into a good movie and you've already seen Avatar 4 times.

Cheers!
