Tangled

The Story of Rapunzel with a Disney twist.  Loved it!  And if you've ever read the book "Rapunzel's revenge" by Shannon Hale it will remind you a little of that too.
I loved the characters, the music, the story, everything.  It was like watching a classic Disney Princess cartoon, and this Princess has a lot of character.  I would recommend seeing this one!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1


Since I don't think the latest Harry Potter movies have been that great.  Namely the first 3 were good, but then not after that.  I was happily surprised when this one was the best out of all of them!  I don't know if its because their splitting up the book into two part movies so they can do more or if its because they've learned to actually make a good Harry Potter movie.  But, there was no dead moment; it was very enjoyable and scary.  The actor line up is great and the actors are older and so it is for more of an adult audience.  I think its too scary for little kids.
So, I would suggest to you to watch it either now or later, but watch it.  If you are already a big Harry Potter fan I don't think you'll be disappointed.  Its good.  Not perfect, but good!
I won't talk about it because if you've read the books you already know.  If you haven't then you should :P

Toy Story 3

While Pixar is always my hero's and they always do a very awesome job with creating stories and movies, this one was their worst, which by all means...their worst is everyone else's best.  To give you an idea of my thoughts there.
A few years ago soon after Pixar had been bought by Disney, they go to Pixar and tell them they want a 3rd Toy Story.  Pixar refuses.  Then Disney threatens them that if they don't do a Toy Story 3 then Disney Studios would.  And Pixar couldn't have that, it would be like creating a work of art and having an immature teenager  try to copy it, it just wouldn't be good and Pixar is all about the art, so yeah.
It was a good ending to Toy Story, the movie seemed a little forced but the worst was the ending, it just wouldn't end!  Yes, Andy is going to college, yes he was going to keep them, but for some reason Woody thought it would be best to be passed on to a random neighbor girl instead of stuck in the Attic or go to College with Andy.  And I think Pixar wanted it to be a dragged out ending to send a message to Disney.  "Toy Story is DONE, there is nothing else to be done with it!  Leave it alone before you run it into the ground!"  At least, that the message I got.
I recommend seeing it, cause you might, I did;  I cried a lot.  It was a good, sad, ending, like I said.  And if you, like me, had any toys that you just loved you will cry too.

Splice



*Sigh*
Okay, so this movie was boring.  It was interesting at first, but just got bad.  It brings up all the Hollywood favorites of: "don't try to play God."  "Where are the boundaries."  blah blah.  So, yeah, they make life from DNA and these two married scientists are so obsessed and the husband can't learn to say "no" and the wife is crazy and deals with "mother control" issues, its just bad.  I was hoping for a good sci fi, but it was just bad.  I wouldn't recommend it, if you want a good sci fi thriller just watch Predator or something.
That is all I'm going to say about that, I already wasted time watching the movie so...yeah
