Hugo: I expected good things from this movie from the previews I'd seen and it was far better than I had expected. So many movies these days are rather slap dash or without much substance but this movie truly was marvelous. There was mystery to the plot that was thrilling and complex. The movie was also visually stunning, even in 3D, which is how I saw the movie, I don't really care for 3D and it really didn't enhance the movie. I highly recommend Hugo.

Cats: I love watching the performance of Cats that you can find on video(etc.). Cats may make a lot of people roll their eyes but I enjoy the songs and I love the dancing, there is some amazing dancing that happens in this show.

13 Going on 30: Curiosity drew me to this movie and, I may be really critical of movies of late but it was okay, not amazing, not totally stupid but okay. The concept was sort of hokey but there were some good messages in there.

Walk the Line: This is a movie about Johnny Cash's life. I find this movie sort of hard to watch as Cash's career and destructive behavior progress. I do like that Cash was able to turn his life around with the help of friends and family. I also like the music in the movie though I'd never really heard of Cash before the first time I watched the movie.

Morning Glory: I didn't really expect a lot from this movie and it was okay with some good messages but it wasn't amazing.

The Help: I read this book about six months ago and really loved it but it's taken me until recently to see the movie. I thought the movie was really good and about as good as a movie adaptation could get. My only issue with the movie is that so many things had to be condensed, so much that my friend who hadn't read the book was left confused about some things.

Muppet Movie: It was okay. Frankly for me the Muppets have been lacking something the last several years, maybe charm? My favorite part was Jim Parsons' cameo in "Am I a Muppet or am I a Man?" I also enjoyed the Toy Story short before the movie.
