VAMPIRE'S SUCK

Let me get this out, I am a Twilight fan. More the books than the movies, Kirsten Stewart bugs me. So when I saw a trailer for this only one word flashed through my mind like the Welcome to Las Vegas sign: FINALLY. I laughed throughout the whole trailer.
I begged my mother to see this with me, she reluctantly agreed.
I laughed the whole time, even if the lines were awkward and random, the way they would say the lines would crack me up.
The acting is dead on about how the actors depict their characters in the actual movies. Becca is all twitchy and depressed about everything. Edward is depressing and weird. Jake is just there an hitting on Becca, distracted by everything. Everything is just so obnoxious and true that you can do nothing but laugh.

INCEPTION

I love this movie. It is so friggin good! The effects, the levels, the characters, and the actors!
Just when you think you have the riddle solved, they throw in another level and change everything. Even though this is a long movie, you do not want it to end, ever. And when it does finally close, you still have the wrong answer.
I am not a big Leo DiCaprio fan but this is his best movie. The girl who played Juno proved she can make movies with the big dogs. And the cute 12-year-old looking kid from 3rd Rock and (500) Days of Summer aged 10 years in two hours!
It was incredibly impressive to watch how they break down the basis of the story and theme in front of you. And knowing that they built most of their sets, is incredibly cool.
This is easily one of the best movies of the summer.

SALT

No offense intended to Ms. Jolie, but I believe I prefer the Jason Borne films. And I am not a major Matt Damon fan since I saw him in The Departed.
When I first saw the trailers I thought 'Wow! This sounds good! I'm so spending my monthly movie money on that!' And after I watched it I thought 'Wow. Did the same guys that write that Batman movie with George Clooney create this?' George rocks, the writers messed up with the cheesy lines they made him say. This movie had that same effect.
At first, the movie is suspenseful and intriguing. Then about 25 minutes later you vaguely guess the conclusion and just sit there munching down the popcorn. Wondering if they'd give you more butter or if its rationed out. Maybe they need to cook the popcorn longer, there's a lot of kernels in here.
