Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

6 out of 10. This movie doesn't offer much in the way of substance, but Prince of Persia is a suitably entertaining movie with lots of action like sword fighting and knife throwing. Prince of Persia is also a substantial improvement over most video game adaptations. I hope this is a sign that video game movies are going to continue to get better cause lets face there are going to be more movies based on video games. 6 out of 10.

Robin Hood

6 out of 10. This movie is a re- imagining of the classic story of Robin Hood. It's full of action right from the beginning and I think it's because of that is why I didn't really know what was going on. It wasn't until about half an hour to 45 minutes when things started to calm down. It was at this point I could start to follow the movie. I thought the rest of the movie was great. The plot was unlike any other Robin Hood movie i've ever seen. The action was great an so was the acting so if you're a fan of the story of Robin Hood check it out. 6 out of 10.

The Lovely Bones

7 out of 10. This movie is about a father trying to find out who killed his daughter. It was weird but interesting and a little confusing in some parts. This movie isn't really a mystery because you know who the killer is right from the beginning. The movie is more of a drama about a family dealing with a horrible tragedy. I found this movie to be a satisfying viewing because of the acting of Stanley Tucci. He did a great job with his role and the movie is worth seeing just because of him but there's also Mark Wahlberg, Racheal Wiesz, and Susan Surandon. This was not an easy movie to watch because of the subject matter but if you're in the mood for a good drama than check out The Lovely Bones. 7 out of 10.

Kick Ass

8 out of 10. Kick Ass Kicked Ass! This movie totally surprised me. The previews make it look like it's going to be a hilarious comedy but it's not. It's still funny while being pretty dark and gory. The plot simple but not too simple. I had a great time watching it so if you like comic book movies check it out! 8 out of 10.

A Nightmare on Elm Street

7 out of 10. This remake of the horror classic is creepy and suspenseful. It pays respect to the original while breaking new ground. Jackie Earle Haley's portral of horror icon Freddie Kruger is definitely just as good if not better than Robert Enguld's Freddie Kruger. If you're a fan of the original than check it out. You won't be disappointed! 7 out of 10.
