Cars 2 (2011)

Cars 2

[3/10 · 7 July 2011]

Lightening McQueen (voice by Owen Wilson) and Tow Mater (voice by Larry the Cable Guy) take it overseas to compete in the very first World Grand Prix to see who is the world's fastest car. Unfortunately, the road is filled with an overwhelming number of bumps in the road, detours and unthinkable surprises especially when Mater becomes involved in his own "wild" adventure. The excitement takes on a new level when Mater finds himself torn between helping his "best pal" Lightening McQueen win the high-profile race and assisting in a top- secret mission orchestrated by Finn McMissile, a British super spy (voice by Michael Caine) and the attractive spy-in-training Holley Shiftwell.

The images of the cities visited are amazing as is McQueen's incredibly fast sprawling races. "Will your kids enjoy the movie and have fun?" Absolutely, however the theme, catch-lines and content is more appropriate and understood by adults.

In the end, the uplifting message that you'll take from this movie is "Be Yourself"

Ranking = (7.5/5)

This film has the voice of Russell Brand and James Marsden. This is a generic kids movie. Your 4 year-olds will love it but you might be sleeping in the process.

Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son (2011)

Worst Big Momma

[2/10 · 23 April 2011]

Big Momma is back in this horrible 3rd installment of the Big Mommas House franchise. This is about undercover agent Malcom Turner. He is on another case and his son Trent sneaks into the middle of a drug deal and witnesses a murder. Trent than needs to go undercover with his father to an all girls school . Where the key to the case is hidden.

I thought this movie had a few and i mean Few funny jokes. Trent played by Brandon T. Jackson was the only one who made a slight joke. These movies had jokes that you would see in a Tyler Perry movie. If you like the Tyler Perry movies. I suggest you see it but if you hate them do not see it

Battle Los Angeles (2011)

Worse than Skyline

[1/10 · 23 April 2011]

Battle L.A or Bla is about a retired soldier that is having a normal day when aliens jump out of the water to invade. While other cities around the world get attack. The government wants to keep L.A. alive. The retired solider teams up with the 2nd Lieutenant. They soon find a couple of Airforce and a couple of innocent people were there is a bunch of aliens. While they fight of the aliens they all try to get to safety.

First, this movie should have been called Battle Santa Monica. The movies location was all in Santa Monica. Second, The aliens looked fake. Especially when the big one that looked like a giant AK47. Third, I knew I would have hated this movie but I was dragged by my friends. Do not waste your 116 minutes. Believe me i wish i had it back to see something else.

Land of the Lost (2009)

While there in this new world. They befriend a lonely primate called Chacka. While getting chased by giant lizard monsters called " Slis Sal taka". they try to find there machine to go back home.

This movie is a hilarious movie that kept me laughing from beginning to end.There is a lot of quotable lines that my family still repeats. I suggest to rent this movie if you want a good laugh. And always remember "Don't Trust a guy in a tunic".

Ghostface is putting the whole town of Woodsburo in danger, especially Jills friends, Kirby ( Hayden Panettiere ), Olivia (Marielle Jaffe ) , Charlie ((Rory Culkin ) , Trevor ( Nico Tortorella ) ,and Robbie ( Erik Knuudsen ) .

Sucker Punch (2011)

Best Movie of the Year 2011

[22 April 2011]

*No Spoilers* Sucker Punch is about a young girl named Baby Doll (Emily Browning) who is institutionalized by her stepfather for a crime she didn't commit . As she is there she meets 4 other girls, Amber (Jamie Chung), Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish), and Rocket (Jenna Malone). Baby Doll is also forced to take dance lessons for there "clients". While Baby Doll dances she retreats into her own world were she has to find 5 items to escape. This film also features Carla Gugino, Oscar Isaac, and John Hamm. It is also directed by Zack Snyder

This movie left me smiling the whole time i was watching it. The whole concept of Baby Doll fighting giant Nazi Zombies to get a map or fighting giant monsters with a samurai sword and then another monster comes out with a machine gun amazed me. This movie had a huge twist at the end and it made me want more. Some of my friends didn't even get the twist and i had to explain it to them. The reason why they didn't get it is because they went to the bathroom at an import part. This movie is like Inception you have to pay close attention. If you liked the other Zack Snyder movies (300, Watchmen) than you will Love this movie
