Fast Five

Audacious action
And improved special effects
Make for a great ride

The Rock sweats a lot
Vin Diesel growls while the
Rest of them look lost

Lots of eye candy
Regardless of what you like
Boys, girls, or fast cars

I'll never know why
People say "guilty pleasure"
Like it's a bad thing

Hobo With A Shotgun

Rutger Hauer tears
It up in this intense yet
Funny dark thrill ride

80's throwback with
Blood and guts straight from Evil
Dead's school of effects

Hilarious but
Still disturbing, a feel good
Movie it is not

Go for the ultra
Violence, stay because it
Will not let you leave

Hanna

Jason Bourne has a
Daughter with Run Lola Run
Her name is Hanna

Indie dramedy
Meshes with action, Joe Wright
Directs like a champ

Lots of allusions
To fairy tales, don't quite work
But not as bad as

Bana and Blanchett's
Weird accents. This is a strange
But unique thriller

The Adjustment Bureau

Starts off strong as a
Nifty and quiet thriller
Then the plot takes off

Reality is
Questioned by Matt Damon and
That guy from Mad Men

Terrence Stamp glares while
Nice fedoras make for a
Silly plot device

Apparently one
Can't escape their fate unless
They try REALLY hard

Cedar Rapids

Ed Helms does a good
Job playing the same guy he
Plays in everything

Many great moments
Marred by inconsistent tone
Hooker made me laugh

The ensemble cast
Even Ellen's former wife
Were entertaining

Good script good acting
The pieces should have fit so
What was it lacking?

Sucker Punch

Emily Browning
Fairly easy on the eyes
But a bad actress

Zach Snyder directs
With a steady hand but no
Warmth, humor, or soul

Babes, guns, explosions
Epic action makes me hard
It's a nerdgasm

Unfortunately
Despite all the ass kicking
It kind of sucked. Damn.

Paul

Messrs. Pegg and Frost
Continue to deliver
To the geek in all

Not as good as Shaun
Or Hot Fuzz for that matter
But really what is?

Barely any pot
Funny Star Wars homages
Surprisingly sweet

I would watch again
Which is more than I can say
For most comedies
