Hancock
6 out of 10
I've been wanting to see this movie, and so when in came to a theater near me, I went. I liked it, but it also made you wonder if they just combined two stories together. It had a weird plot twist.
It's about Hancock, who is a sloppy super hero who makes a mess as he tries to help people. Frankly he just is a alcoholic guy who wants to help people. So he helps this guy and decides to hear what he has to say about being a better hero. Hancock goes to jail for a bit, and comes back will everyone wanting his help. Around this time, the plot twist takes place, and I don't want to give it away.
I've seem many very different reviews on this movie, so I guesss it all depends on how well you like surprising plot twists.
Here's the trailer:

August Rush
August Rush
8 out of 10
This as a really good movie. I, as a lover of music, could really relate to the whole thing. This movie is about love, hope, and determination.
It is about Evan Taylor (AKA August Rush) who has been in an orphinage all his life. One day he takes a chance and steps out into the world of New York City to find his parents. While looking, he meets a new friend, Arthur. Arhtur takes Evan to an old run down theater that has become the home of the children street musicians of New York City. evan is introduced to all types of music and soon gets his composed music in an orchestra that brings his family together.

And here are some clips of the music from the movie:

One Missed Call
One Missed Call

I finally got to watch this movie. I had posted a while back that I'd wanted to watch it. And I say it was OK, and only just. The story was good, but it was just average; it was just another scary movie. Actually, it reminded me a lot of The Ring in these ways:
1) They both have to do with a phone call
2) They both have a stupid girl who have to figure out some stupid mystery with all the little clues throughout the movie
3) The guy that hangs out with the main girl dies at the end
4) Everyone thinks the mother are evil when it really their satanic little girl
It did scare the crap out of my cousin. I happened to have to ring tone on my phone. So that night I stole his phone, sent the ring tone to him, and called him the next day. It scared the crap out of him! He he he!
In the movie, if your phone rang this certain ring tone, you would hear yourself die, and soon after, you would get so freaked out by it that somehow you would die. So this one girl sees two of her friends die that way and decides, "Hey, I don't want to die". So when she gets the call, she goes and figures out how to stop it. The End.
Typical Scary movie. But it was still worth watching. Here is the trailer:

The Host
The Hostby Stephenie Meyer
10 out of 10
This book was fantstic! Stephenie Meyer took a big step out of her Twilight bubble and did a great job! I enjoyed this book completly through and through. It did take me a while to read. Not only is it a little over 600 pages long, but I have had a busy summer with softball and camp and stuff. Anyways...
In the story, an alien species has taken over the earth. The aliens are a form of parasite that is enjected into human bodies. Afterwards, the aliens would take over all the bodies, living inside them and using them as a host. The main character, Wanderer, is an alien that is living inside the body of human Melanie, who doesn't seem to just disapear like she is supost to. When Wanderer starts to see the things Melanie's past and soon cannot separate Melanie's feelings from her own, Wanderer decides to go on a journy to find one of the last remaining humans that the two of them both love.
This book is a nice mixture of a SciFi and Romance novel. Stephenie Meyer does a good job.

The Golden Compass
The Golden Compass
7 out of 10
It's not the whole Anti-Christian thing that makes the rating lower than it could be, because, frankly, I would have never guessed until Philip Pullman said so himself. It's just a story. It was just hard, at parts, to follow the story line. Some things made you think, "What? Did I miss something? Where did that come from?" It was like they exspected the viewes to have read the book.
The movie is about a parallel universe where people's souls walk beside them as animals. The main character, Lyra dicovers the secrets the government is trying to hide and must travel to the icey north to save her friends along with all the children of her world.

This movie was good, but aren't all movies with Will Ferrell? It just didn't stand out. It was just another funny movie. Well, it wasn't just funny, it was really funny, but still.
It's about the Tropics basketball team. They stink and Jackie Moon is there best player, coach, and sponsor. They get a new player who helps them win their liege, with a lot of laughs along to way.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

10 out of 10
This was a really good movie; a nice follow-up of the first movie. I enjoyed the whole movie, and the music was great too. I liked the fact that they didn't change it from the book by too much.
In this Chronicle of Narnia, Peter, Susan, Edmond, and Lucy are brought back to Narnia by Prince Caspian, who called them with Queen Susan's magical horn. 1,000 has past in Narnia since the children had last visited, and things have changed: Prince Caspian's evil uncle has taken over Narnia, preventing Caspian's rein over the land. It is up to the Pevensie children, Prince Caspian, and the remaining Narnias to defeat him.
Here is the trailer:
