REVIEW:


Get ready for tear dropping laughs as I, the KID of MOVIES declares this Adam Sandler's funniest and best movie ever made. The Wedding Singer is about a man and a woman in the year 1985. The man's name is Robbie Hart. Robbie is a wedding singer who just got dumped by his soon-to-be wife. The woman's name is Julia. Julia is a waitess at most of the weddings Robbie does. Although, Julia is about to get married. Together, they become really good friends. But, as Robbie starts to develop romantic feelings for Julia, he must sweap her off her feet before the preist says I do. I have never laughed harder in my life. But, do not show this movie to kids under 11. Otherwise, sit back, heat up some popcorn, and watch The Wedding Singer.

REVIEW:


I think of this movie as a more dramatic, longer, oppisate version of Forrest Gump. By the way, that's a good thing in case you were wondering. Benjamin Button is about a man named Benjamin who was born at the age of 80 and is aging backwards. Therefore, we see an entire movie about the life of this unusual man. Along the way, he meets a girl named Daisy who helps Benjamin through his life. This movie is very slow in the first half, but picks your heads up in the second. But, if you get sleepy veeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrry quickly, then watch this on a rainey day. Also, do not let kids under 13 see this. Any way, this was a very intresting and dratmatic motion picture that will capture the hearts of people for many decades and centuries to come.

REVIEW:


Corection: This has bigger and better explosions than Terminator AND is better than Terminator, too. G.I. Joe is about a secret team of people called the G.I. Joe who take in two surviving soilders from a big accident. Now, this team must capture and destroy a mysterious villan named The Doctor and his evil plan to destroy every living soul on planet Earth. When all elase fails, they don't. GO JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????!!!!! This movie was very entertaining and lives up to its name, but it just isn't the same kind of movies as Star Trek, Transformers 2, Up, and Harry Potter 6 were. This movie is veeerry similar to Transformers, but it just has some of the cheesiest special effects I've ever seen. I would recommend you to go see G.I. Joe in theaters or on Blu Ray once, but after that just go and get on with your lives. Also, if you're deciding whether to see this or District 9, you should probably see District 9 because I've heard really positive thing about it, while G.I. Joe is just in a luke-warm with the critics.

REVIEW:






Going with very low expectations, I surprisingly enjoyed this what should've been a dumb, cheesy, sci-fi kids flick. Aliens In The Attic is about a family that takes a trip up to a vacation house along with their cousins. But as it turns out, there are aliens there to take over Earth. Now, it's up to the kids to save the world before the aliens become our rulers. This movie is very funny that the whole family would enjoy. The only criticisms I have are the aliens and one scene that was too childish for me. The deal with the aliens is that even though they look menacing, they are very clumsy and kind of funny. The aliens kind of reminded me of Fearless Leaders' assistants in 2000's flop The Adventures Of Rocky And Bullwinkle. Sure it may have had a few laughs, but I would've waited on DVD for this one.

REVIEW:


This movie really follows up to the original and made up to my expectations. That was actually pretty obvious because they usually drive really really fast in this action flick. This sequal takes place 5 years after the original where we find Dominic Toretto returning to Los Angeles to avenge a loved ones death. But this reignites his feud with agent Brian O’Conner. But, as they race through crowded city streets and across international lines, they must test their friendship by teaming together to bring down a shared enemy. This movie is now tied with Terminator Salvation for the most explosions and action in a 2009 movie. But, this was by far better than T4 in every way. My suggection is for you to see the first movie The Fast And The Furious first. 2 Fast 2 Furious and Tokyo Drift don't mean anything in the series. They're just backstories to the series. Therefore, rent Fast And Furious as soon as your done watching The Fast And The Furious. AS SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
