Despicable Me

I always wanted to see this movie. Ever since the first trailer came out. Now I finally saw it and it didn't disappoint me! This movie is about an aging villain named Gru who plans to steal the moon. He has group of henchmen called Minions who help him steal the things. What he needs is a shrink ray and only his competitor Vector, a nerdy young villain that committed the worst crime of the century and stole the pyramids of Giza, has it. One day, he sees a group of young girls going into Vector's house to sell cookies and he buys all of their cookies the gets an idea. He can steal Vector's shrink ray by adopting the girls and building cookie robots. Then, he can have the girls sell Vector the cookie robots and the robots can steal the shrink ray. Will he get the shrink ray? Will he learn to love the girls? Or, will thing go haywire? You have to see the movie to find out. This movie is great and will become a children's classic someday. This movie is awesome for kids and adults alike. All in all, I give this movie 5 stars!

The Secret of Kells

When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I thought it looked like it was for little kids, so I didn't see it. About a month and a half later, I looked at the trailer again and thought it looked O.K. so I went to see it at the Gene Siskel Film Center. I walked out of the theater with the thought in my head, "Why the heck did I think this movie looked like it was for youngsters"? This movie was about a young irish boy named Brendan who lived in a very religous community and was taught very strictly by the Abott. The people in the community were working on a wall to keep the dangerous Vikings away. One day, Brother Aidan came to town who would changed Brendan's life forever. One day, Aidan sent him to go to the forbidden forest to go and fetch berries for ink. When he goes into the forest, he meets a forest fairy named Ashley. That's when things REALLY start going haywire. This was an AMAZING movie for people who like exciting fantasies and all in all, I give this movie 5 stars! This time I really mean it!

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightining Thief

Are you a demi-god? No, but Percy Jackson is. Percy is just an average american teenager who isn't aware that he's a demi-god, The son of a god and a human. That is, until his mother takes him to Camp Half-Blood for teens just like him. At the entrance of the gate, though, his mom is stolen by one of Hades' creatures. The whole story is about Percy trying to get to Hell to save his mom with his two friends Grover and Annabeth. I didn't like this movie alot because of the acting and because of the huge difference between the book and the movie. This movie is O.K. for people who like greek mythology. I give this movie 2 stars.
