Synopsis: Woody and Buzz had accepted that their owner Andy would grow up someday, but what happens when that day arrives? In the third installment, Andy is preparing to depart for college, leaving his loyal toys troubled about their uncertain future.
Starring: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Ned Beatty, Don Rickles
Directed by: Lee Unkrich
U.S. Rating: G
Woody and Buzz Lightyear are back in what I personally believe, the BEST animated film I've ever watched so far. I've been a huge fan of Toy Story, like most of every single person that has seen the films. We could consider that Toy Story was Pixar's master piece, their Mona Lisa. Obviously, Pixar was working directly with Disney for this project, but this project gave them the unique reputation and success this small team needed to make it big, just like they've been doing with all their animated films.
Andy has become a young man and he's ready to enjoy his new adventure moving to college. While he's packing, he's facing a dilemma with his toys. He has not played with them in years and they feel forgotten and abandoned. When his mom asks him if he wants to donate his toys, Andy decides to take Woody with him to college and intends to store the other toys in the attic. By accident, Andy's mom throws the other toys away, making them think they are no longer wanted; they escape and decide to climb in a box to be donated to the Sunnyside Daycare. Woody tries by any possible way to save his friends before they get into the box, but then he'll be forced to travel with them to their new destination, Sunnyside, while he tries to convince them and explain them that they've been put in this situation by mistake. Andy didn't want to donate them, but they were put away by accident.
Andy's toys are welcomed by the numerous toys at Sunnyside, and given a tour of the seemingly perfect play-setting by Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear (a.k.a. Lotso), Big Baby and Ken, who Barbie falls for. All of the toys are quickly enamored with their new home, leaving steadfast Woody alone to attempt to return to Andy. He finds a way to escape from Sunnyside, but in his attempt, Woody is picked up outside the school by the imaginative toddler Bonnie. She takes him home and plays with him along with her other toys, who are well treated, happy, and readily welcome Woody. Woody is elated until he hears about Lotso from Chuckles the sad clown. Lotso, along with Big Baby and Chuckles, were once accidentally lost by their original owner, Daisy. The three found their way back to Daisy's home, but Lotso saw that he had been replaced. Though Chuckles realized the truth, Lotso, embittered, convinced Big Baby that they were abandoned, and used Big Baby's size to take mafia-like control over the toys at Sunnyside. To be honest, this Big Baby is FREAKY!!!
Worried for his friends, Woody hurries back to the daycare and finds that they have been put on task to be played with the rambunctious youngest toddlers. They are also kept under guard at night by Buzz whom Lotso has reverted to demonstration mode restoring his original "Space Ranger" persona and allying with him.
Woody rejoins his friends and they work out an escape plan involving the garbage dumpster. In the process, Buzz is accidentally reset into a Spanish-speaking mode during an attempt to restore him to normal. I personally believe this is one of the most hilarious moments on this film! The toys reach the dumpster, but are headed off by Lotso and his gang. As a garbage truck approaches, Woody explains to Big Baby that Lotso has lied to him and that his owner still loved him, whereupon Big Baby lifts and throws him into the dumpster. Unfortunately, Lotso manages to pull Woody in with him just as the garbage truck makes it. Woody's friends board the truck to rescue him, during which Buzz is hit by a falling television while saving Jessie, finally returning to his old self. The toys find themselves at the local landfill in Tri-County and are soon pulled onto a conveyor belt leading to an burn pit. They help Lotso to reach an emergency-stop button, only to have Lotso betray them and leave them to be burned. Believing they are at their last moments, they hold hands, but are rescued in time by the squeeze toy aliens using a giant claw. Realizing that being burned in an incinerator is much worse than Andy's attic, they take back everything they said bad about Andy. The toys initially vow revenge on Lotso but Woody successfully convinces them that Lotso is not worth it. They return to Andy's home, while Lotso is found by a garbage truck driver and is tied to the front grille of the truck as a decoration.
At Andy's house, Woody climbs back into the box with Andy's college supplies while the other toys resign themselves to the attic. Woody has a last minute inspiration, and leaves a note to Andy on the toys' box. Andy, mistaking it for a note from his mom, takes the box to Bonnie's home, introduces his old toys to Bonnie and gives her the toys to play with. In the end, Bonnie recognizes Woody, laying at the bottom of the box, to Andy's surprise. Andy is initially reluctant to give him to her, but eventually does so and then spends some time playing with her before he departs. Woody and the other toys find themselves wanted and played with again, and learn through notes passed in Bonnie's backpack that Barbie, Ken and Big Baby have improved the life of all the toys at Sunnyside.
One of my most recent surprises about this film is its Oscars Awards Nomination for Best Film. It was simply amazing to see that nomination. I'm totally convinced it will win the nomination for Best Animated Film, but the strong script, the fresh story and terrific characters are so perfectly assembled and brilliantly written that I could easily say that some important directors, producers and film creators should learn so many, many things from this master piece.
It was not just a huge pleasure to watch in theaters, but it is definitely a MUST to have in Blu Ray or DVD as part of your personal collection.
I would rate this movie with a HUGE 5/5

Synopsis: In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to the neighbors, hidden beneath this home is a vast secret hideout. Surrounded by a small army of minions, we discover Gru planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon, yes, the moon. Gru delights in all things wicked. Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad. The world's greatest villain has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes.
Starring: Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Elsie Fisher, Ken Jeong

This was a particular succesfful year for animated films. We had all kind of great films, including How To Train Your Dragon, Tangled, The Princess And The Frog, Tinker Bell, Megamind, among others. But my two favorite ones are definitely... Toy Story 3 and Despicable Me. It will be tough to decide which one will get the Golden Globes and Oscars this year.
Gru is not a conventional villian. He gets satisfaction on those evil little things, for example, giving a balloon with an animal shape to a kid and then explode it in the kid's face, or just freezing everyone at a coffee shop just to avoid waiting in line, etc. He's a villian with huge plans and evil dreams, but with poor skills to make those plans work. So, even when he thinks he's the smartest villian, the world is facing the power of another smart villian in town... Vector. Vector has stolen the Piramids of Egypt, getting all the attention and respect for his evil work. Gru needs to come with a better and more impressive evil plan, so he decides to steal... The moon!
Gru never planned that three little girls he tried to manipulate to help him steal a powerful weapon, would become more important and meaningful in his life than any other plan or evil actions. Gru finally steals the moon, but it comes with a big price, and Gru prefers to pay the price (save the three little girls) instead of getting the world's evil recognition.
An extremely funny animated film for all ages. I loved the way they included some adult humorous details in this film, giving the fresh content for adults to fully enjoy it.
There's no doubt that my top favorite characters are: The Minions! Those little evil "twinkies" are HILARIOUS!!!
The digital copy recently released in the US comes with some extra content that I DO really want to watch. It is definitely a film that you must buy and have it at home. So I hope to have it for my B-day!

Synopsis: Charlie and Phil are so consumed by their high profile advertising jobs that they are completely missing out on the joys of fatherhood. After failing to excite the public about vegetable cereal, Charlie and Phil are fired from their ad jobs. That means no more expensive day care for their sons at the exclusive Chapman Academy, run by the harsh taskmistress Miss Gwyneth Harridan. While floundering aimlessly in search of employment and tending to his four-year-old son Ben during the day while his wife Kim is at work, Charlie has an idea. If he and Phil can handle taking care of two kids, how much harder can it be to supervise ten? Much harder than they ever imagined. Every kid is different and every one is a hilarious challenge, whether they're suffering from sugar rush, fantasizing about being super heroes, or just demolishing everything in sight, Charlie and Phil soon realize they are in over their heads. Way over their heads.
Starring: Eddie Murphy, Jeff Garlin, Steve Zahn, Regina King, Kevin Nealon

Another good and entertaining film with Eddie Murphy. It's been a while since we saw Eddie in a good action/thriller film, or at least, a good adult comedy film. He's been totally engaged in these kind of kids comedy films for few years now, so I would really want to watch him in one of those great films who made him famous.
Daddy Day Care is not bad at all. In fact, is one of the best kids comedy films he's played in so far. I totally enjoyed the film. It is a pretty simple plot, but the script is funny and enjoyable. It will definitely make you laugh and will keep you and your kids entertained.
If you haven't watched it yet, Daddy Day Care is about Charlie, a successful advertisement agent who has recently lost his job. He decides to take care of the house and baby sit his little kid Ben, while his wife works. His friend and co-worker Phil lost his job also. On a day out with their kids, they find an opportunity to make some money as baby sitters. With this idea, they decide to open "Daddy Day Care" a home-based child-care service.
Facing some crazy, bizarre and really funny situations, they will soon progress on their business and will become to a threat to an important school in the area.
This experience will help Charlie to share more and better experiences with his son, know him better and see what really matters in his life. When Charlie and Phil get their job back, they have to stop taking care of all the kids they have been attending, but when Charlie realizes how important this experience has been for him and his kid, he quits... convinces Phil to quit and they focus on their promising Daddy Day Care business.
If you're looking for a good and goofy comedy film, this is a great option to watch.
What did I like from this movie?
1. The film brings a really good cast
2. It is really entertaining, offering some really good laughs
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. It is a simple script, but hey! What can you expect from it! It is a goofy comedy film

To be honest, I would rather to watch the comics or TV Series from the 70's instead of watching film. It is not that bad, but seriously, if you were a big fan of the comics and TV Series, you would notice immediately that they were way far better than this film.
It is a good film for kids. With monsters and some digital animation, it will help to keep them entertained.
I must say that the characters were well cast. Not because they had a great performance, but because they really looked like the originals.
What did I like from this movie?
1. If you have kids, it offers some goofy and entertaining situations
2. Very colorful
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Far from what we should expect, since it didn't represent the greatness of the TV Series from the 70's
I would rate this movie with a 2/5

Synopsis: When California girl Susan Murphy is unwittingly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk on her wedding day, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall. Alerted to the threat of this new monster, the military jumps into action and Susan is captured and secreted away to a covert government compound. There, she is renamed Ginormica and placed in confinement with a ragtag group of other monsters: the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement is cut short, however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country. In a moment of desperation, The President is persuaded by General W.R. Monger to enlist the motley crew of Monsters to combat the Alien Robot and save the world from imminent destruction.

I always love to enjoy a good animated film. Monsters vs Aliens is one of those films. I had the chance to watch this film over the weekend (in Blu Ray) and it was such a really entertaining time. I should say that it is not as good as some of the latest (and older) animated films, but it did the job.
The battle between monsters kept by the goverment in a secret location and program is being used to fight the aliens who have come to Earth and battle humanity. Who are the monsters? normal humans who have changed their "human" conditions in independent incidents and experiments. The Aliens have decided to come to Earth to recover a precious rock or mineral that crashed in our Planet. Thinking they're a superior race and minds, the aliens could be considered a bunch of show off! Ginormica, B.O.B., Dr. Cockroach Ph.D., The Missing Link and Insect-o-saurus will fight the aliens and have a great time doing it!
Totally recommended for kids and adults! I really had a good time watching it.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Definitely my favorite monster is Insect-o-saurus. I laughed so hard with him!
2. Such a good cast behind the voices and characters
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Nothing
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

The not-so-kid-savvy bachelors stumble in their efforts to take care of the twins, leading to one debacle after another, and perhaps to a new-found understanding of what's really important in life.

Being such a big fan of John Travolta's films, I must say that Old Dogs was really painful to watch. I thought this film would be at least as fun as Wild Hogs, but the truth is that it was one of the worst comedy films I've watched within the last 12 months. I didn't feel any chemistry between the actors. Besides that, the plot was extremely simple and empty. For a moment, I thought that a film like Date Movie or any other crappy comedy like those would be less painful to watch than Old Dogs. Sad, since it gathered such a great cast.
There were just a couple of scenes where I could say I honestly had some really good laughs, but mainly, the film wasn't good enough to be considered a comedy, or at least, a good film.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I enjoyed Seth green, Justin Long & Matt Dillon. A few very funny scenes with these guys
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. The plot was too empty and boring
2. What's up with John Travolta's hair? He looks like a dumb old man with that hair cut! Totally against his role... trying to be a playboy
I would rate this movie with a 2/5

Synopsis: "The Tooth Fairy," also known as Derek Thompson, is a hard-charging hockey player whose nickname comes from his habit of separating opposing players from their bicuspids. When Derek discourages a youngster's dreams, he's sentenced to one week's hard labor as a real tooth fairy, complete with the requisite tutu, wings and magic wand. At first, Derek "can't handle the tooth" - bumbling and stumbling as he tries to furtively wing his way through strangers' homes-doing what tooth fairies do. But as Derek slowly adapts to his new position, he begins to rediscover his own forgotten dreams.
Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Ashley Judd, Stephen Merchant, Ryan Sheckler, Seth MacFarlane
Directed by: Michael Lembeck
U.S. Rating: PG
Let me just start saying that The Tooth Fairy is a film for kids. If you're a big fan of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's action films and you're expecting to get some in this comedy film, don't get too excited because, as I said, it is a kids film. If you don't mind to watch him on these roles, then you might really enjoy the film.
Now, if you watch the film from a grown-up perspective, it might be taken as a silly, cheesy and boring film. If you watch it from a kid's perspective, you'll enjoy the film.
I had the chance to watch it from this last perspective, from a childish, goofy and inoffensive perspective and I totally enjoyed it. The plot is really simple, cheesy, childish, goofy, basically unfunny (even though, there will be some moments and situations that will make you have some good laughs) but somehow... entertaining.
The film is about Derek, a famous hockey player who gets his nickname "The Tooth Fairy" and fame from beating other hockey players and breaking their teeth. He doesn't believe in fairy tails and loves spontaneously to be mean and bold with people, especially, with kids, destroying their dreams, goals and visions.
One night, he gets in bed and finds a magic ticket under his pillow. When he sits at the border of his bed and reads the content of the ticket, he'll notice that he's got magical wings and he's taken to a Tooth Fairy training center. He's been forced to be a Tooth Fairy for a week, since he's been a really mean and bad influence for everyone around him. He needs to learn everything related with his responsibilities and tools to perform his new job.
Derek needs to balance his professional life as hockey player, his personal life dating his girlfriend (one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, Ashley Judd. Ok, that's my personal appreciation. If you have read some of my previous reviews, you'll know that I have a crush on Kate Beckinsale, but she's in second place, since my major crush has always been on Ashley Judd), her two kids and his new responsibilities as a Tooth Fairy. Something that will stress him up and will make him do things that will push away those people he loves and cares the most, but at the same time, the new experience will help him to change his beliefs on Fairy Tails and miracles, helping everyone around him and especially, himself.
If you're looking for a goofy comedy and watch it with your kids, this is a really good option.
What did I like from this movie?
1. This film had such a great cast. How can't you love a film with Billy Crystal?!
2. There are a few good and funny lines
3. I totally enjoyed and laughed at the scene when he visited the second house and just started throwing memory powder to all the family members, got the tooth and threw the money on top of the kid in bed
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I personally believe that The Rock had some fun working on this childish comedy film, but... come on... he's an action actor by nature, and that's what people love the most of him. He needs to go back to his great action roles
2. A goofy and cheesy simple plot with not much to offer
I would rate this movie with a 3/5
Directed by: Michael Lembeck
U.S. Rating: PG
Let me just start saying that The Tooth Fairy is a film for kids. If you're a big fan of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's action films and you're expecting to get some in this comedy film, don't get too excited because, as I said, it is a kids film. If you don't mind to watch him on these roles, then you might really enjoy the film.
Now, if you watch the film from a grown-up perspective, it might be taken as a silly, cheesy and boring film. If you watch it from a kid's perspective, you'll enjoy the film.
I had the chance to watch it from this last perspective, from a childish, goofy and inoffensive perspective and I totally enjoyed it. The plot is really simple, cheesy, childish, goofy, basically unfunny (even though, there will be some moments and situations that will make you have some good laughs) but somehow... entertaining.
The film is about Derek, a famous hockey player who gets his nickname "The Tooth Fairy" and fame from beating other hockey players and breaking their teeth. He doesn't believe in fairy tails and loves spontaneously to be mean and bold with people, especially, with kids, destroying their dreams, goals and visions.
One night, he gets in bed and finds a magic ticket under his pillow. When he sits at the border of his bed and reads the content of the ticket, he'll notice that he's got magical wings and he's taken to a Tooth Fairy training center. He's been forced to be a Tooth Fairy for a week, since he's been a really mean and bad influence for everyone around him. He needs to learn everything related with his responsibilities and tools to perform his new job.

Synopsis: It's the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus and assorted monsters have walked out of the pages of high school student Percy Jackson's Greek mythology texts and into his life. And they're not happy: Zeus' lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Even more troubling is the sudden disappearance of Percy's mother. As Percy adapts to his newly discovered status as a demi-god (his father is Poseidon), he finds himself caught between the battling titans of Mt. Olympus. He and his friends embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief, save Percy's mom, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves.
Starring: Logan Lerman, Brandon T. Jackson, Alexandra Daddario, Sean Bean, Pierce Brosnan
Directed by: Chris Columbus
U.S. Rating: PG
I'll try to be totally objective on this review. Harry Potter, sorry!... Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lighting Thief.
In a world where the Greek mythology gods and goddesses have kids with humans and they interact in between both worlds, Percy Jackson is Poseidon's son.
The story starts when Zeus and Poseidon meet at the top of the Empire State Building to discuss Zeus' missing lightning bolt, which he believes Percy, Poseidon's son, has stolen. Percy finds he can think best when underwater for 7 to 10 minutes at a time (of course, Poseidon was hs father and the god of the sea). His best friend is Grover, who is revealed as a sort of assistant demigod assigned to watch over him. His teacher is Mr. Brunner, who is actually Chiron, a centaur. (played by Pierce Brosnan) Percy thinks he is dyslexic, but it's only that his eyes instinctively turn English into Greek letters. After learning of his real identity, he goes off to Chiron's demigod training camp with Grover, and he becomes friends with Annabeth, a demi-goddess.
He loses his mother at the entrance of the camp and he decides to go to underground and help her to come back, after finding out that she lives and she's being kept there by Hades. He counts with the help of Annabeth and Grover. They will have to travel around the country trying to find three pearls which help them to return from hell once they get there. One of the best attractions among the gods is Medusa, played by Uma Thurman. She (and especially, her head) will play a key role in this film.
Everything rounds around the journey to underground and save his mother from hell. At the end, they have the chance to meet their parents (the gods) and go back to the camp, which I believe will be part of the future films related with this franchise and books.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I must be honest, the film brought some really amazing and entertaining CGI effects
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. It was like watching a lighter version of Harry Potter based in New York City. For those who don't know me, you should know that I'm an anti-Harry Potter person. I haven't read any of the books and have no intention of reading them in the future. I've watched 2 of the 6 films so far and I found them really boring. In fact, I felt asleep while I was watching one of them at the theater, something that never happened ever before! Yes, you might be saying... what?!?! But that's the truth. So, as I said, I felt like watching the American version of Harry Potter
2. The script and dialogues was really light and childish, ideally for kids
3. The cast performance wasn't as good as I'd expect from some of the great actors and actresses involved in this film
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Click is one of those movies that makes you laugh and have many thought-provoking moments, but you honestly don't know if it is a comedy film with some emotional drama scenes, or a drama film with some funny comedy scenes. For this particular film, I'd divide the film in two. The first half could be considered the funny comedy part, and the second half the drama emotional part.
Click is a film played by such an amazing cast. I should say that some of these talented people were wasted on this film, since they had just derisory roles, for example, Christopher Walken.
I wouldn't consider myself a loyal fan of Adam Sandler's films but, I must say that I've watched almost every single one of his films. He's improved through the years and the good thing is that he has tried to mix drama and romance to most of his latest roles and films. The big success is that he always manages to get a great cast to support his role and I think that's a key part of the success of these films.
Click is nothing more than an enjoyable movie. The plot is not that great but it is entertaining, it delivers some really good laughs and some emotional moments, especially at the end of the film. I really enjoyed that mix.
No matter what, I'd say that if you're looking for an enjoyable film to watch and you coup with Adam Sandler's sense of humor, Click is one of those good options to watch.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I liked the emotional message about the importance of family expressed on this film
2. I really enjoyed the cast selection for this film. Sadly, the director and production could have got more from this amazing cast
3. Kate Beckinsale :) She's my platonic love
4. There were some really good laughable moments on this film
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. As said before, I do believe most of the cast was underused
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Synopsis: American astronaut Captain Charles "Chuck" Baker, lands on Planet 51 thinking he's the first person to step foot on it. To his surprise, he finds that this planet is inhabited by little green people who are happily living in a white picket fence world reminiscent of a cheerfully innocent 1950s America, and whose only fear is that it will be overrun by alien invaders--like Chuck! With the help of his robot companion "Rover" and his new friend Lem, Chuck must navigate his way through the dazzling, but bewildering, landscape of Planet 51 in order to escape becoming a permanent part of the Planet 51 Alien Invaders Space Museum.
Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Gary Oldman, John Cleese, Lewis MacLeod, Emma Tate
Directed by: Jorge Blanco, Javier Abad, Marcos Martinez
U.S. Rating: PG
I should start saying that I really enjoyed the funny point of view of the plot... The astronaut that lands in Planet 51 thinking that he'd be the first person to step foot in it, but hey! he finds out that he's not the first person in that planet, but he's also considered as a dangerous alien who's coming to control and destroy the inhabitants of the planet. The inhabitants of Planet 51 suffer of a crazy Alien paranoia, thinking that they will arrive in any moment and will take control of their minds and planet. A pretty basic but charming and fresh plot that can be enjoyed by every single member of the family (I could say that adults would enjoyed it as much - or more! - than kids). Planet 51 offers such a CG animated quality image that could be compared with any amazing quality images from Pixar movies. Totally recommended for kids... and adults!
What did I like from this movie?
1. The CG animated images are simply amazing!
2. Great cast involved with the voices
3. The "alien" dog... my TOP favorite one! I totally laughed when the dog fooled the post man
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I enjoyed the first half more than the second half. Maybe because it was so predictable
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

I'm not a big fan of these kind of cheesy kids movies, even though, I can say that this film was quite entertaining. Missi Pyle played a funny lead role in this film as the mother and Lorenzo Vincenzo, a famous international soccer player from Italy. Trying to help and motivate her daughter , Missi Pyle will do everything and anything to make her daughter enjoy what she loves the most, soccer. A cheesy plot but really entertaining and freshly played. A good option for a quiet afternoon with the kids.
What did I like from this movie?
1. The make-up was really funny! She actually looked like the guy she was trying to represent

Synopsis: Evan Danielson is a successful financial executive who has more time for his blackberry than his seven-year-old daughter. When he has a crisis of confidence and his career starts going down the drain, however, he finds the solution to all his problems in his daughter's imaginary world.
Starring: Eddie Murphy, Thomas Haden Church, Nicole Ari Parker, Ronny Cox, Martin Sheen
Directed by: Karey Kirkpatrick
U.S. Rating: PG
Eddie Murphy is back in another corky, silly but entertaining comedy film. Eddie Murphy seems that he either has been trapped into the same character stereotype for the last few years, playing the same kind of comedies and being away from those great movies that made him so famous in the past. Anyway, Imagine That offers some few great surprises, just like Yara Shahidi's amazing first performance on the big screen, or the weird and so exotic Thomas Haden Church's supporting role. The plot is based on a successful financial analyst who needs more than magic to save his career. Eddie needs to balance his professional and personal life, trying to find time to share more with his daugther, who's been playing with a "magical blanket" that allows her to talk with invisible friends. These friends give her vital information for the future and they help her and especially Eddie, to succeed on his career and financial projects. A really silly comedy with a really entertaining and moral message. A good movie for a family movie night.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I really enjoyed the way the director starts with the scene when Eddie is trying to recover the blanket and get more information for his job, the way he starts in the middle, goes back and finishes almost in the same place
2. Nicole Ari Parker, a beautiful exotic-good looking woman :)
3. Yara Shahidi's performance. This kid played such an impressive and fresh role in this movie. Great presentation for her first time on a movie
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Eddie Murphy has been playing these cheesy roles for a long time. It's time for him to go back and start playing those great action/comedy roles that made him famous

Synopsis: Enter the magical world of fairies and meet the enchanting creatures of Pixie Hollow, who "nurture nature" and bring about the change of the seasons. Changing the colors of the leaves, moving a sunbeam to melt snow, waking animals from their winter slumber, or giving a patch of sproutlings a sprinkle of water are all within the realm of these seasonal specialists. Tinker Bell thinks her fairy talent as a "tinker" isn't as special or important as the other fairies' talents. But when Tink tries to change who she is, she creates nothing but disaster! With encouragement from her friends Rosetta, Silvermist, Fawn and Iridessa, Tink learns the key to solving her problems lies in her unique tinker abilities and discovers that when she's true to herself, magical things can happen.

Synopsis: As his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry approaches, 15-year-old Harry Potter is in full-blown adolescence, complete with regular outbursts of rage, a nearly debilitating crush, and the blooming of a powerful sense of rebellion. It's been yet another infuriating and boring summer with the despicable Dursleys, this time with minimal contact from our hero's non-Muggle friends from school. Harry is feeling especially edgy at the lack of news from the magic world, wondering when the freshly revived evil Lord Voldemort will strike. Returning to Hogwarts will be a relief--or will it?

A really funny and entertaining kids movie. G-Force brings a fresh mix of a traditional military/special force action movie with the friendly and fun image of Guinea Pigs & Hamsters that are not just well and highly trained, but can talk! G-Force offers a high quality image and effects, with a good plot, it's a great family movie. There's no doubt that kids will love this movie. I've heard and read some critics about this movie, which express that it is a silly and slighly cheezy movie, not counting that it is conceived for kids! Of course it needs to be a silly and cheezy action movie! It's not about Tom Cruise or Vin Diesel, it's about some Guinea Pigs for crying out loud! By the way, the image quality is impressive! These Guinea Pigs look more real than some humans in this movie! Totally recommended!
What did I like from this movie?
1. Really enjoyed the image quality. As said, the Guinea Pigs look more real than humans in this movie!
2. The whole scene with the electronic goods coming to life and fighting against humans and Guinea Pigs, really great effects
3. There were some few funny scenes and comments
4. Definitely, my two top favorite characters in this movie: Agent Mooch (the fly) and the Hamster from the Pet Shop
5. The soundtrack, really good!
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. The voices of Penelope Cruz and Nicolas Cage were not the best for these characters, my personal opinion
I would rate this movie with a 4/5

I've heard and read some critics about this movie, which express that it is a silly and slighly cheezy movie, not counting that it is conceived for kids! Of course it needs to be a silly and cheezy action movie! It's not about Tom Cruise or Vin Diesel, it's about some Guinea Pigs for crying out loud! By the way, the image quality is impressive! These Guinea Pigs look more real than some humans in this movie! Totally recommended!
What did I like from this movie?
1. Really enjoyed the image quality. As said, the Guinea Pigs look more real than humans in this movie!
2. The whole scene with the electronic goods coming to life and fighting against humans and Guinea Pigs, really great effects
3. There were some few funny scenes and comments
4. Definitely, my two top favorite characters in this movie: Agent Mooch (the fly) and the Hamster from the Pet Shop
5. The soundtrack, really good!
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. The voices of Penelope Cruz and Nicolas Cage were not the best for these characters, my personal opinion
I would rate this movie with a 4/5

Synopsis: Inspired by Ron and Judi Barrett's beloved children's book of the same name, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs follows inventor Flint Lockwood (voice of Bill Hader) and a brainy weathergirl Sam Sparks (voice of Anna Faris) as they attempt to discover why the rain in their small town has stopped, and food is falling in its place. Meanwhile, lifelong bully Brent (voice of Adam Samberg) relishes in tormenting Flint like he did when they were kids, and Mayor Shelbourne (voice of Bruce Campbell) schemes to use Flint's latest invention -- a device designed to improve everyone's lives -- for his own personal gain. Mr. T. voices by-the-books cop Earl Devereaux, and James Caan voices Flint's technophobe father Tim.
Starring: Bill Hader, Anna Faris, Bruce Campbell, Mr. T

I simply loved this movie! I laughed through the entire movie (except for the sad or serious parts). This is a GREAT movie for kids and adults that like silly movies.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I loved that his spray on shoes never come off. It ends up being not only hilarious but saves the day in the end
2. The way Flint has never been in a snowball fight before and goes around hitting all the kids with "ice cream" snowballs really hard is hilarious. He even bursts into people's homes and pelts them with snowballs
3. I absolutely LOVED the fact that they rethought the "kiss." It was a very funny way of putting a kiss into a kid's movie and it also showed how socially deficit Flint was
4. There were tons of moments that just kept me laughing!
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Not sure why, but "Baby Brent" in the chicken suit just freaked me out a little bit. I didn't care for the evil rotisserie chickens...
I would rate this movie with a 5/5

I'm not that into kids movies, but I must say that I have my favorite ones. We finally had the chance to watch this movie and I have to admit that Up has officially become one of those top favorite kids movies. Pixar always brings the best of the best. They did it big time with The Incredibles, then with Cars, and now with this amazing and really funny movie... Up. What I like the most about this movie, is that the destination was inspired in the "Salto Angel" water falls and the ancient "Tepuis", in Venezuela.

Home Alone has become one of those classics that we all watch in every family reunion at Christmas time every single year. I had the chance to watch this movie just two days ago and even though I've watched this movie dozens of times, I never get tired of it. Macaulay Culkin will ever bee remembered as the little boy that was forgotten at home on Christmas Eve, no matter how old he might get. A great classic comedy for all ages with such a fresh and funny script.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I really enjoy all the smart tricks and things Kevin does to defend the house against the two burglars, when he asks for pizza and uses the tv scenes against the pizza delivery boy and when he goes to get some supplies at the supermarket
2. Such a great cast chosen for this movie
3. The end of the movie, plus the message was really enjoyable
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Even though the sequels weren't that bad, this is one of those movies that didn't need a sequel (my personal opinion, since it's a classic)
I would rate this movie with a 4/5
