What I liked:
- Jake Gyllenhaal is always easy on the eyes. His acting was pretty good too.
- I find Vera Farmiga to be charming.
- The story was interesting if you can buy into the source code theory.
- The special effects were cool.

Win Win
What I liked:
- Paul Giamatti and Amy Ryan were great. They played characters that could actually be found in the real world.
- Bobby Cannavale brought just the right amount of humor to his scenes.
- Alex Shaffer did very well in his first role.
- The story felt like it could happen in real life.
- There is a good mix of heartbreak and happiness.
Sucker Punch
What I liked:
- It was a creative storyline.
- The girls are cute.
- Vanessa Hudgens didn't have many lines.
- Don Draper!
- Some of the special effects are cool.
- The music video that runs through the credits is hilarious, although I don't think that it is meant to be.

The Lincoln Lawyer
What I didn't like:
- It felt like it was a very long movie partly because it was a little slow at times and partly because I thought it was going to end about three times before it actually did. It was only 2 hours though.
- If you can hire a driver during the day, why can't you hire one for night?
- Marisa Tomei, Frances Fisher, Bryan Cranston and William H. Macy should have been in it more.

Kill the Irishman
What I didn't like:
- It wasn't filmed in Cleveland.
- The dialog was at times, kind of weak.
- The score of the movie was just ok. The Irish song that they played a lot sounded like the song from Titanic.

Red Riding Hood
If you like Twilight, you will probably like this. If you don't, well then...
What I liked:
- The score of the movie was good. It seem to fit the scenes without giving too much away.
- It looked nice. The red cloak against the white snow ground and the green trees. All very pretty. Although I am sure 90% of it was computer generated.

Take Me Home Tonight
What I liked:
- Topher Grace was a lovable, clueless dude and the underdog that you can't help but root for.
- I am not a fan of Anna Faris but I didn't mind her in this role.
- Chris Pratt
- It was more of a romantic comedy than I thought it would be.
Cedar Rapids
What I liked:
- The storyline was ok. It is a little different than most films that are out there right now.
- It had some good laughs.
- It's nice to see actors who look like regular people.
- All the actors did a fine job. They were all believable in their roles.

Beastly
What I liked:
- The soundtrack was alright. Bonus points for playing Death Cab for Cutie's Transatlanticism.
- Dakota Johnson is a diamond in the rough. She has been taking a few small roles (like here and in The Social Network) and is working on her skills. She could be the next "It" girl.
- The overall message of the story is clearly geared towards the Tween generation. Anyone older then that will see right through all of the holes in this film.
