The Proposal

When high-powered book editor Margaret (Sandra Bullock) realizes that she is about to be deported back to Canada she lies and says that she is engaged to her assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds). Andrew promises to remain silent in exchange for a promotion. When the couple travels to Andrew's family birthday party in Alaska they begin getting to know each other and realize that the fake engagement might not be as easy to pull of as they originally thought. A funny and enjoyable movie filled with a great cast.

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past

While attending the wedding of his brother, notorious ladies man Connor Mead (Matthew McConaughey) begins to receive visits from the ghosts of old girlfriends. During these visits he realizes that his life might not be as perfect as he thought it was and if he doesn't make some changes he will lose the only woman he ever loved. A cute movie, but they went so over the top making McConaughey a jerk that by the end of the movie I didn't really like him.

Monsters vs. Aliens

On the day of her wedding Susan (Reese Witherspoon) is hit by a meteor and all of a sudden she grows into a huge monster with amazing strength. When she is locked away with other monsters by the government all she wants is to go home. When Earth is attacked by an alien robot the monsters are called upon to defeat it and save the planet. This is a very cute movie that is fun for the whole family.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Did you ever wonder about the story behind the X-Men superheros? This movie finally tells the story about Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) from his family to how he ended up with knives in his hands. An action packed movie that us adrenaline junkies will enjoy.

Observe and Report

Mall security guard Ronnie Barnhardt (Seth Rogen) is determined to catch a flasher who is bothering his mall patrons and will stop at nothing to solve the case and protect the girl he is obsessed with. This was a really bad movie that was not even close to being as funny as Mall Cop.

Lost in Austen

Even though her own love life is a mess Amanda Price is a romantic at heart and so she loves to escape into her favorite Jane Austen books any chance she gets. One day she gets more than she bargains for when a door opens and she literally walks into Pride and Prejudice. She pretends to be Elizabeth's friend while she tries to figure out how to explore this amazing world while not messing up the story. I thought this movie was very funny and really good.

The Ramen Girl

After following her boyfriend to Tokyo and then getting dumped soon after getting there, Abby (Brittany Murphy) is not sure what to do with her life. She finds solace in a local Ramen shop and begs the owner to teach her how to be a Ramen chef. As they work together and struggle to understand each other they both begin to change. I thought this was a different, but kind of cute movie.

Bring It On Fight to the Finish

When cheer captain Lina Cruz is moved from the tough streets of east L.A. to Malibu she quickly realizes she is in a different world. The school cheerleading squad is a disaster and a snobby competition team rules supreme. Her challenge is to fix the school squad and take on the other team at the Championship. These movies all always kind of cheesy, but this one was a little better than the last couple.

The International

Clive Owen plays Louis Salinger an Interpol agent working tirelessly to bring down a corrupt bank he believes in dealing in arms. Every time he gets a witness that will finally help him crack the case they end up dead. I found this movie boring and disappointing.

Duplicity

Julia Roberts and Clive Owen are corporate spies working on opposite sides of the battle to next famous beauty product. During the battle they begin a love affair and attempt to create their own scam against both sides. Even though I am a fan of all of the stars I found this movie kind of tough to follow and enjoy. Not horrible, but not as good as I thought it would be.

The Soloist

Journalist Steve Lopez (Robert Downey Jr.) finds an interesting story when one day he comes across a homeless guy playing classical music on a broken violin. As he starts talking to the guy he discovers that his name is Nathaniel Ayers (Jaime Foxx) and he used to be a student at Juilliard. Determined to get a good story about why a Juilliard student is now homeless he starts spending more time with Nathaniel and realizes that he is getting involved in much more than a simple story. Foxx did an amazing job in this role and it is a touching story even if it is not the best movie.

Fighting

Channing Tatum and Terrance Howard start is this movie about a street kid who is talked into joining an underground fighting circuit. Even though he is not the best fighter, his determination helps him succeed. When he is asked to throw a fight he has to decide what is more important his pride or the money. There wasn't as much fighting as I expected and it was a little slow, but as a fan of Howard and Tatum I enjoyed the movie.

Dragonball Evolution

Justin Chatwin is a martial arts student who is charged with trying to collect all of the magical dragonballs and save the world. Of course the goal is to find the dragonballs before the bad guys do. This is another attempt to turn a manga book into a movie and unfortunately this was not a good attempt.

Gran Torino

Clint Eastwood plays a grumpy old white racist living in a rough neighborhood that is being taken over by gangs. When he unwillingly ends up getting involved with his neighbors family and begins mentoring the young boy he realizes someone has to stand up to the local gang before the entire neighborhood is lost. This was a fantastic movie with an unexpected ending.

Hannah Montana The Movie

Miley Cyrus stars as Hannah Montana in this movie about one girls struggle to figure out how to handle being famous and having a normal life. When Hannah starts acting like a typical spoiled and thoughtless celebrity her dad whisks her away to see her grandmother in Crowley Corners, TN to remind her where she came from. While she is there she reconnects with a boy she grew up with and starts questioning what she wants in life. Fans of Hannah will love the movie.
