Life as We Know It
I liked this movie and I didn’t.
I like Josh Duhamel but he’s more fun when he’s charming and funny and he isn’t as much of either of those in this.

Odd rather fun movie.
I loved the cast! And I mostly liked the characters. I 80% liked the characters, but didn’t full on love them.
But biggest issue for me was
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
I almost don’t want to say anything nice about it, by virtue of it being Transformers. But there are good things in this movie that can’t entirely be ignored.
Iron Man 2
This was obviously a sequel that was rushed through production. And the disheartening thing is it doesn’t seem liked execs paid attention to what really made Iron Man so successful.
There’s more action and less story. Which is a sign of a rushed script. And the idea that execs think people want more Iron Man than they want Tony Stark, which I don’t think is the case.
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
I have to admit, I was surprised by this movie, and that doesn’t happen often. I should have probably given it an extra half star, just for that. But it’s not at all what I thought it’d be from the marketing.
I didn’t like the first Wall Street when I had to watch it in college.
Cars 2
Cars 2 is another of those animated movies that’s so hard to score. I mean, it’s cute and sweet for kids.
I didn’t hate it. But I can’t really score the directing or production very well because they were good enough.
Green Lantern
This is more what super hero movies have the potential to be. Because action and special effects are easy, decent story is a bonus, any sort of character depth is astounding and applaudable. But this adds thematic depth to the mix which is new and sort of brilliant.
I Am Number Four
Impressive, partly because my expectations were so low. I mean, I read the book and it was awful and the first thing I said was that it should have skipped being a book and been a screenplay
Neverwas
This movie has a colossal fatal flaw that I can’t discuss without spoiling everything.
The Invisible
For starters, this movie is not what it was marketed as. At all.
Oddly, after the big lie that was the trailer, the movie was more emotional than I expected.
