Kung Fu Panda - 8.5/10 - A great movie to watch to pass some time, laugh, and just have a good bit of fun. The voice acting talent is huge, Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Lucy Liu, Jackie Chan, and Dustin Hoffman to name a few. The visuals are great, and the story is pretty decent as well. Highly recommend seeing it.

I watched a DVD of Rambo, the fourth movie in the John Rambo series last night. It is pretty much pure violence. Amazingly they managed to weave in some sort of plot and some personal development in there. I liked the ending, which echoed the beginning of First Blood.

Kung Fu Panda It was just one of those things that your friends want to watch and you don't really want to watch, but you want to humor them so you watch. It was surprisingly good. I was also surprised by all the famous actors who did the voice acting. Good story, decent dialogue. And the graphics. Amazing. Most importantly, it's a fun movie that anyone can watch. It'll make you laugh. I did. Out loud. 9/10

Get Smart
Not the most cerebral movie, but funny enough without being too crass. Pretty good action sequences too. 7/10
Wall-E
Still think this is the best movie of the year so far. 10/10
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
Got the DVD last week, and yes. It's the best of its kind. 9/10

Indiana Jones - So much potential to make a great movie, but got ruined with absolutely absurd scenes and a shallow plot line. 6/10
Hulk 2 - Entertaining action scenes, good effects and OK plot line. Not much depth to it though. 8/10.
The Happening - I actually had a discussion with my friends about whether the actors were told to purposely act as if reading cue cards or not. I argued that the acting was so bad it had to be on purpose, painful to say the least. Like most M Night movies, the plot had mountains of potential, but then got ruined by his necessity to oversimplify and explain everything that happens. 6/10
21 Blackjack - "OMG MIT genius plays cards and learns life lesson, but not before making half a million dollars through terrible acting and an equally lacking cast." 5/10
Forbidden Kingdom - The movie itself sucks. The plot sucks. The idea that someone can learn kungfu in like 3 days sucks. The kid sucks at acting. The girls arent topless in at least one scene in the movie, sucks. Hot evil chick didnt do anyone, sucks. The only reason this movie scores any points is because Jackie Chan and Jet Li are amazing and two or three of the scenes were funny. 5/10 sorry Jackie.
Someone please make a decent movie? Please?

Wanted - Absolute garbage.....no plot (well kinda expected that), cheap action, poor acting. Morgan Freeman is not the usual Morgan Freeman. Angelina is hot as usual, but not enough to save the movie. Should have gone see WallE

I thought Wanted was okay. I think Angelina did redeem the movie, but I agree, Morgan Freeman just wasn't...right. I usually like his acting, but his role and dialogue in this film were kind of cheesy and something was just missing. The cinematography was cool but didn't have that wow factor like when the Matrix series came out (bullet dodging and freeway chase scenes). 7/10
Wall-E was good. This is one cartoon that I think is geared more towards adults than kids. A lot of the movie's themes and messages would be lost on the younger kids. 8.5 (maybe 9)/10.

Street Kings... Not what I expected.
Overall, good blast-em up, not going to win an Oscar. Still, enjoyable. 6/10.
