grown ups, predators, inception, and the last airbender

let's start off with the worst and work our way up...

the last airbender - 3/10 - eh the acting was just sucky...we've watched a good bit of the cartoon and none of the humor was present. i was let down.

predators - 5/10 - it accomplished what it came to do, keep me preoccupied for an hour and 47 minutes. it had a good bit of action and a small twist that was pretty obvious early on. i suggest renting it for sure. if you're a huge predator fan then head to the theaters, i doubt you'll be disappointed.

grown ups - 5/10 - i laughed a lot more than i thought i would with this film. even though it contains a large number of big names [adam sandler, kevin james, rob schneider, chris rock, and david spade] i still found it to be quite enjoyable. a definite dvd rental.

inception - 7.5/10 - i feel that this movie is getting a lot of crap for being too intelligent. in my opinion they dumbed it down for the masses and anyone with a semi functioning brain should have no problem understanding this film. i'm not a fan of leonardo dicaprio but he and the other actors in the film [joseph gordon-levitt, ellen page, tom hardy, cillian murphy] do a wonderful job with their individual parts. a lot of the scenes are visually stunning as well. i definitely suggest catching this one if you're up for a tiny bit of concentration rather than a summer popcorn flick.

enjoy the silence.
