Real Steel – Hugh Jackman. Much better story than expected. Excellent kid actor.
The Next Three Days – Edge of seat action; kept me guessing until last scene.
Larry Crowne – Loved it! Heartwarming, charming, and funny; loved the scooter gang.
The Tower Heist – Funny in parts, an enjoyable way to spend the evening.
Breaking Dawn: Part One – Acting’s getting better. Only one overly cheesy scene. Great ending.
Cowboys and Aliens – James Bond. Indiana Jones. Cowboys. Aliens. A perfect popcorn flick!
I really wanted to see Tower Heist… When it was playing, though, some friends invited us to the movies and they wanted to see something else.
I did see Cowboys and Aliens over the summer, though, and it was better than I expected it to be.

Kelly – my boys LOVED Cowboys and Aliens – I think they definitely belong to the target audience!
I’ve never even heard of the Russell Crowe one! odd.

Care – I was especially interested to see Elizabeth Banks in a dramatic role (she played Crowe’s wife) – helped me believe she could actually do a good job with Effie in Hunger Games.

I actually did hear that Real Steel is better than the trailer depicted. Plus there is also Hugh. The others, I’m not sure. I can be sorta obnoxious about movies that seem like Sugar Babies…tasty but empty calories and leaves you wanting when you are done.

I was going to go see Larry Crowne, but it got such poor reviews, I didn’t. Now I regret it.

Only one cheesy scene in Twilight? There were several things that stood out for me, and not necessarily in a good way!

I really want to see Cowboys and Aliens. I have it on hold at the library. Fingers crossed that it comes in soon.

I haven’t seen any of these but do want to see Tower Heist.
