Sorry Angelina, your beauty can't carry a movie anymore. This movie was a mindless shoot 'em up movie. I was never sure if her character was a good guy or a bad guy. I kept going back and forth getting all confused, and eventually just fell asleep. I woke up, missing a big chunk of the plot, rewinded the movie, got a little more enlightened, and then fell back asleep again until the last 2 minutes of the movie. I swear it's talent.

So I watched this at home in 2D vs 3D, and really, I don't think I missed out on much. I love these dance movies; you can always count on 2 things when watching dance movies: 1) the plot sucks. It's synonymous with watching a porno; you just ignore the crappy plot and want to fast forward to all the action shots. 2) There's always 1 really hot chick (see Megan Good in "Stomp the Yard" and the 2 previous "Step Up" movies.) Anyhow, this 3rd version definitely didn't disappoint in the dance department. Of course the plot was horrible, but whatever, you're not watching pornos for the plot either.

So I watched the extended version of this movie, which turned out to be a mistake. Even I thought it was too long at 2:30, and hence me falling asleep at 1:50. I watched this movie w/o subtitles which for the most part was fine until Blake Lively started doing her horrendous Boston accent. I couldn't understand a single word she said during the movie. Anyone else disturbed at how great a crackwhore she played? Anyway, I thought the movie was good; just don't watch the extra 30 minute extended version. Stick to the 2 hour version, and it should be great.

I feel like I was last to the party to see this movie. However, it was definitely worth the wait. I thought the casting was perfect (although Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker seemed odd). The writing was top notch. The movie kept you interested for all 2 hours. You know a movie is good when you pause the movie half way through to Google "Sean Parker" to see if he actually does look like Justin Timberlake or not. And I had no idea Sean Parker owns 6-7% of Facebook for almost doing nothing. This movie makes me almost want to read the book "The Accidental Billionaires" now. Highly recommended.

Definitely one of the best movies of 2010 and one of the best animated movies of all time. It's about an evil-doer played by Steve Carrell who adopts 3 kids to help him execute an evil plot. I don't know if I'm getting soft in my old age, but I seem to prefer animated movies over stupid movies like "The Expendables."

Hey, if you've seen the first 2, you may as well finish the series right? Of course this one was all about Team Jacob's shirtless body. Actually, I watched this like 3 weeks ago and don't really remember much about the movie (yes, it was that good.) I don't really recommend it unless you're pot-committed like I am. Let's hope it ends with the 4th installment and doesn't go on forever like the Harry Potter series.

It was just as you would expect from a SATC movie; very cheesy, a couple of funny parts, and you roll your eyes throughout the entire movie. Why they keep making these movies over 2 hours long is beside me. Keep it at 1:45 and it'll be a better movie. Btw, no straight guy should ever be forced to watch this stuff. Watch it if you are already a SATC fan; pass like the plague if you've never seen SATC before.

Probably one of the better teenage movies I've seen lately. It's about a high school girl, Emma Stone, who pretends to sleep with guys for money. Movie was pretty original. I thought the casting was superb; the parents were one of the coolest parents ever. The movie wasn't as funny as I thought it would be, but it didn't matter because it was still great. Highly recommended.

So this movie is about Bow Wow winning a $370 million dollar lottery ticket, and having to wait 3 days before he can cash it. Of course the whole ghetto neighborhood finds out, and you can imagine all the trouble he gets into. Anyhow, the movie was very reminscent of "Friday," but not nearly as good. The movie was pretty stupid, and I don't recommend you watch it under any circumstance.
