4 3/4 out of 5 stars
A great addition to the Pirates series. At World's End starts of where the last one ends, trying to save Jack from Davy Jones locker. The most powerful part of the movie is the first scenes where those who have associated with pirates are being hung and then they start singing Yo ho all together... and then the rest of the movie was full of action with a few comedic elements. Though the last 5-10 minutes of the movie were right out of a cheesy romance novel that doesn't take away from the powerful scenes before that.

Georgia Rule
3 out of 5 stars
I guess it helps when you go in with low expectations from all the bad reviews to a movie but Georgia Rule exceeded my expectations. This story is about mother (Felicity Huffman) who is a raging alcoholic and her daughter (Lindsey Lohan) who is rebellious and is sent to the grandmother's (Jane Fonda) house. There secrets about sexual abuse are revealed and the question of truth is a main theme in the movie. Decent movie with a decent plot that could have been better.

Shrek the Third
4 out of 5 stars
One of the best movies of the summer [so far]. Shrek the Third brought back the main charcters from 1 and 2 including Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Puss In Boots, Gingy, Pinocchio, and more and also added a few more interesting characters including Artie and all the princesses (you know Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella). This like the others is full of funny jokes all can enjoy while throwing in some stuff (especially music) that the parents and older audience would enjoy.

Spiderman 3
3 1/2 out of 5 stars
Not as impressive as the first two Spiderman movies and especially the first one. This movie starts with Parker very famous and still saving lives but now he is planning to marry Mary Jane. We then are introduced to the "New Goblin" Harry and the Sandman who we find out is the real killer of Parker's Uncle Ben. A weird black ooze from a meteor creates the black Spiderman that eventually turns Eddie Brock into Venom who wants revenge on Parker for ruining his photography career at the paper. Though I didn't like the overall plot I loved the characters the Sandman and Venom and the action scenes were awesome. There were 2 points in the movie where I could hear the whole audience gasp and jump. One time to see it is good enough for me.

In The Land Of Women
4 1/2 out of 5 stars
Surprisingly not your typical romantic comedy. Adam Brody stars as Carter who has just been dumped. He goes from LA to surburban Detroit to get away and stay with his Grandma. He meets the Hardwicke family which includes the mother, Sarah, and the daughter, Lucy. Carter develops deep relationships with both women and the end comes with all of them realizing things they had been missing/needing in their life.

Wind Chill
3 out of 5 stars
A horror film with a great storyline that left the audience with little in the scare department. This movie starred Emily Blunt who is most noted for her performance in The Devil Wears Prada. In WC she loses the British accent and is at college and is looking for a ride home. She finds the guys number off the ride board and he turns out to be kind of stalkerish and doesn't live in Deleware where she lives. He takes scenic route 606 which turns out to be the place where a lot of people had died. I thought this movie had a great concept but failed to build the suspense.
