Blog exclusive! One Sentence Synopsis and Review "Thor" 3 Stars Synopsis: The fate of both Earth and Asgard hang in the balance as Thor fights his nemesis and brother Loki, in an attempt to restore balance to a fragile Universe. Review: This movie could have sucked badly because Thor is more God than Superhero, but director Kenneth Branagh brings a sense of humanity to the story despite its ridiculous concept by blending in witty comedic timing with awesome battle sequences.

Blog Exclusive! "Due Date" - My Rating: 3 1/2 Stars Why see it? The director of "The Hangover", Todd Phillips, gets 2 great performances out of Zach Galifianakis and Robert Downey Jr. It's like "The Hangover" meets "Planes, Trains and Automobiles". "Megamind" in 3D - My Rating: 3 Stars See it i 3D, because the effects add, not subtract, from the film. The chemistry between Tina Fey and Will Ferrell is sizzling. Plus Megamind's character is a deviously funny dude. "Paranormal Activity 2" - My Rating: 3 Stars This one's a slow starter, but once you get an hour into it things really get spooky. Expect to be jumpy, laugh every now and then, and be completely shocked by the twist ending. Also check out "Paranormal Activity 3" in theaters everywhere October 21st. You're due for a break so checkout the "Due Date" trailer below: As always thanks for reading! ©2011 Matthew R. Rei...
