The reboot of Spiderman was in general a very entertaining and enjoyable movie. For a movie that's 2 1/4 hours, it was definitely slow in getting to the transformation of Peter Parker into Spiderman (about 45 minutes or so). The special effects were very impressive, although the villainous Lizard Man looked like a bad CGI version of the Hulk. There was definitely more background material than in the previous three movies and the two 18 year olds who were with me liked this version better than Tobey Maguire/Kirsten Dunst. While I will buy the DVD, I personally liked the heart of the originals much more than this one. Good movie, not amazing.
Pros great story
Cons slow, didn't connect with the actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Tron:Legacy - A Worthy Sequel

Most of the time, you don't know what you're getting with a sequel. However, this movie did a very good job of transitioning from 20 years ago to modern day. I would have liked to have seen a little more background on the original Tron, but Jeff Bridges as Flynn helped fill in most of the gaps. My husband and 17 yr old daughter both liked the movie very much, as did I. The graphics were well done and we did enjoy the story line. A definite must see, although very young children might get bored during the 2 hour run.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Grease Sing-A-Long -- DON'T MISS IT

This was the most fun I've had at a movie in a long time. The audience was very engaged with the movie - we all laughed and sang and "woo-hooed" at John Travolta. I really liked how the lyrics were brought to life with hearts and colors and other animation. Do NOT miss this movie if it comes to a theatre near you - it is a great fun time.
My husband, 16 yr old and I all lliked this next chapter of the Twilight movies. We have not read the books, but that doesn't seem to matter. The fight scenes were amazing!! Definitely left us wanting more - we'll be very ready for the next movie release.
My spouse and I love action movies. T4 was definitely a well done action movie. It captures the whimsy of the first three and had a good plot, good actors, and excellent action. You will never have the same movie without Arnold - get over yourself and go see this movie!!
