[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

American Psycho is off the rails. Christian Bale has possibly the performance of his career as a psychopathic businessman on tilt of killing in public. This film is a blast.

Burn after reading blazes.... The plot is crafted with immense precision surrounded by amusing characters and incredible acting performances, a great film from the Cohen brothers.

Grown Ups groans low. The movie is a poorly written comedy that revolves around paper thin characters who happen to be played by recognizable comedians past their primes. There are no laughs, and really no story outside of a somewhat redeeming first ten minutes.

The titans clash with mediocre flash. The movie has a solid performance from Sam Worthington, and a few good action scenes. The rest of it is utter rubbish with poor directing, and a poor script.

New grit is true to its roots. The film is a near perfect copy of its original. The acting is good except Jeff Bridges is hard to understand at times, and the movie is paced equally well to its predecessor. A great adaption overall.

TRON ecstasy. The entire movie is dull, boring, and feels completely fake. The characters are bland and unbelievable, the effects are good, but the dialogue is terrible. The film feels like its simply riding the coat tails of its predecessor, and never grows into its shoes.

Tangled unravels with originality. Tangled is an wonderful take of a classic fairy tale. The movie is anti climatic at times, but succeeds with its good pacing and well executed animation. The plot is fine, and the movie is enjoyable.

How to maintain your ass from dragging. A very good animated tale with a very slow precise execution. The characters are believable and the story is nice, but some areas of the film are simply boring...

S.W.A.T slaps out. The movie is long, boring, and not very entertaining. With moments of excitement and decent characters it keeps the film from falling apart, but S.W.A.T still falls flat.

Despicable Me is despicably entertaining. An interesting concept mixed with great dialogue, and a clever script. Despicably Me shows moments of heartwarming laughter and comic evil explosives.

Inception is exceptional. The movie is incredible with great special effects and an impressive script. Nolan once again puts on one of his famous ending twists making the film extremely entertaining in and out. The acting is good and the idea is genius.

Harry Potter has a seventh crack at success. Although not very much excitement or as much entertainment do to this somewhat anti climatic film, it still succeeds with a good story. By splitting the book into two parts the movie ends at an odd cliff hanger that wouldn't have been acceptable with the other films.

Iron Man 2 is a junkyard. The movie takes off where its prequel left off, an explosive beginning with intriguing storyline behind a possibly great villain. Then after nearly no storyline or explanation for most of the following events, the movie finally finishes with a drawn out fight scene. The entertainment is barely there, and the elements that were the keys to success for the original aren't apparent.

Wonderland isn't all that wonderful. An utterly average adaption of a classic book. Alice in Wonderland attempts greatness with its Tim Burton twists when in reality it falls very far off course. The acting is good, but the script needs work. The movie is long and drawn out with really only one scene of action, the entertainment level just isn't there.

Toy Story 3 caps off a legendary series. After watching its predecessors become two of the most beloved children's tales in recent memory, Toy Story 3 lives up to expectations. With wonderful characters, and a heartfelt story pushing the bounds of realism. Toy Story 3 exceeds expectations.

The Box pushes your buttons. An extremely average execution of what possibly could have been a really exiting film. The premise is clever, and the acting is fine. The direction could use some serious help as the movie has a hard time getting going. It feels like the characters are almost in limbo until finally everything happens very quickly. I would have liked to see Christopher Nolan or M. Night take a crack at this movie. The storytelling is simply poor.

Imagine That is simply a nice kids film. A bit of a modern fairy tale, Imagine that isn't bad nor great. A decent kids film with a few laughs and not really very memorable. Murphy does well and overall its cute fun.

New in Town drove me out. Really poor script, no laughs whatsoever, and bad acting. The movie is bland and utterly worthless, and the ending is barely existent; it just sort of ends when the writers got bored.

The Hurt Locker is spectacularly suspenseful. The movie is filled with good acting especially from Jeremy Renner and good directing. The story is exceptionally well written, and despite being a little slow, the Hurt Locker still achieves success.

Inkheart is boring. The story feels like a mixture of many other fantasy tales revolving around a magical book. Inkheart is extremely forgettable with bad acting, and little to no originality.

Meet the Robinsons is extremely underrated. A very intriguing story intermixed with a very good message, Meet the Robinsons succeeds to be a fun loving kids movie.

Astro Boy never takes off. The movie is an interesting premise that is entertaining, but never really becomes great. It seems caught in a shell and just doesn't amount to anything, the first 15 minutes are equally eventful as the rest, and the movie becomes anti climatic. The morals in it are good, and the concept is somewhat thought provoking, but the finished product seems too forgettable.

Fantastic Mr. Fox is fantastic. The screenplay is a great adaption from the book with good comical twists. The dialogue is witty, funny, and clever. Its very rare to experience a PG with such incredible writing and execution. Fantastic Mr. Fox is an instant classic that walks among that of Toy Story.

Shorts is far too long. The movie is absolutely terrible, horrible kids movie, and just awful in general. The script is bad, the acting is bad, and the entire premise is just terrible.

Aliens in the Attic invades with nonsense. The movie is overly simple and not very good. The script is poor and the acting is bad, the only good aspect is the semi appealing animation.

The informant is clever! Great writing, great acting, funny, smart, and all around good. A really well crafted comedy with an exciting concept that will leave you guessing.

State of Play is a fresh concept. The acting is decent, but the script is exceptional. Well paced, well directed and extremely entertaining. The characters are all humanized with their own personalities, and flaws making them all feel real. A very good thriller, a few plot holes here and there, but nothing easily noticeable.

Invictus is invigorating. Great acting, good script, nice directing, and all in all a history lesson. Invictus is an extremely well crafted piece that will be cherished for years to come.

Planet 51 is spaced out. No laughs, no good characters, no real message, and an unoriginal story. The only redeeming quality I can see is that it will hold kids interest; but there are many choices far better than this one regarding a family film.

The Lovely Bones isn't tender enough. The movie is slow, long, and in some points boring. The concept is extremely predictable and the good acting can't save it. There isn't much sympathy for Ronan's teenage character as you know little about her other than her interest in a boy, and the same goes for Walhberg's as you know little to nothing about him other than he misses his daughter. The problem is that the movie isn't sad mainly because of the lack of knowledge given to the audience, and the lack of depth displayed in the personalities. The characters don't feel real enough to be moving or exciting.

Land of the Lost is truly that. The movie's concept is just a random unexplained adventure traveling threw multiple bizarre dimensions, and for that is to be absolutely hilarious. Land of the Lost has laughs few and far between going entire half hours without giggling. Will Ferrel displays his worst work to date with this terrible adventure "comedy".

Bride Wars leaves me fighting for survival. The movie isn't funny, rarely entertaining, and overall just bad. The acting is poor to average, and the concept is silly. The drama is overdone, and there is no substance whatsoever.

Old Dogs are put down. The movie easily could have been horrible but just becomes painfully average. As a family movie it succeeds with some clever jokes, but by the end it collapses under a faulty plot.

The Taking of Pelham is very entertaining. Overly qualified actors with an average to poor script mixed with great execution. Plot holes plague this otherwise exciting film, and the directing is good. The film is well paced and the entertainment value is great. The last half of the movie then becomes sloppy and loses some momentum.

Race to Witch Mountain is a bizarre adventure. The action is good but not great and the overall premise is odd. Dwayne Johnson does well and the acting is pretty fair. Nothing bad or great I can really say.

Hotel for Dogs makes you want to stay home. The concept is silly, and the film doesn't roll with it smoothly. The script is okay at best, and the acting is nothing short of annoying. The resulting product is an extremely cheesy family comedy with few laughs, and poor dialogue.

Coraline is a spectacular stop action piece. The movie is perfectly paced, and well designed. The concept is good, and the animation is spellbinding. The result is a very entertaining animated tale with a Tim Burton twist.

Knowing proves that ignorance is bliss. The movie begins with an extremely interesting concept, and it continues to succeed with suspense. The acting was bad, but the movie seems to have a good plot going. Then comes an absolutely terrible ending with atrocious writing as if somebodies five year old decided to finish the movie.

Public Enemies is really just a biography. Some were disappointed with the execution of this gangster movie, but it wasn't just a "gangster movie" it was the factual biography of John Dillinger. The movie succeeds with accomplishing that aspect, but fails to be very interesting or exciting. The characters aren't very likeable although the performances are great. Just an okay movie that is a factual representation of a notorious gangster.

District 9 is more of a 6. The movie is entertaining, but with very little substance. The plot is good and the acting is fine, but there is far too much unexplained to take it seriously. No real answers are given as to why the aliens or "prawns" came to earth or why Africa was in charge of the situation, or why the aliens didn't use their weapons to kill all of us. The movie is thought provoking and successful on many levels, but the plot relies to heavily on a single character, and leaves to much unanswered.

G-Force isn't a G. The entire film is boring, there are no laughs, and bottom line its plain stupid. The characters aren't likeable, and the plot is preposterous. Really just not a good family or kids movie.

Cloudy with a chance of itchy balls. The movie is silly, gooey, and most of the time gross. The comedy isn't there, and the characters aren't very likeable. The animation is average at best. I really wouldn't recommend this even as a kids movie because its really just 5% story and 95% randomness.

Angels & Demons is pure hell to watch. A very poor adaption **** book. The plot holes are painfully prevalent, and Tom Hanks can't save the terrible script he is handed. The movie has artificial suspense leaving viewers without a care for whats going on. By the ending you will have no idea why or how any of the prior events happened, and for that reason the film fails.

A Christmas Carol is beautifully average. The movie simply adapts the book reluctantly. The main appeal is the beautiful animation that unfortunately feels very wooden. There many times the characters look at random objects instead of each other. If it wasn't based on a famous book it would be completely forgettable.

Taken doesn't bring much to the table. The movie is paced well, the story if fine, and the action is lackluster. It mainly is plagued with an extremely simple plot combined with a very predictable outcome. An okay action flick.

Mall Cop arrests you with poor jokes. The premise of the film is okay at best, and the comedy isn't there as Happy Madison once again struggles to piece a movie together. The plot is fine until a ridiculous ending, and the overall product is something poor that could have been alright.

Rise of the Cobra slithers into sheer idiocy. The plot is so slothfully slow, and remarkably poor I honestly don't know how it was approved by the studio. The acting is terrible and the special effects aren't impressive. A long awful action "movie".

The Proposal gets turned down. The movie begins with humor and an interesting concept for a rom-com. After the first hour it then begins to become tiresome and directionless. The movie then evolves to an illogical overly cheesy story with no substance and the character moves are incomprehensibly silly at best.

Night at the Museum gets sleepy. The movie picks up nicely where the last let off. The new characters are surprisingly successful, and the story is okay. The movie then gets slothfully sloppy at the end at its struggles to piece together a resolution. Many very fixable plot holes erupt and the entire film nearly unravels.
