Kung Fu Panda 2(2011) Reviews
Prepare for the year of AWESOMENESS 
When Kung Fu Panda was released in 2008, I was not prepared. Like Po, the titular Kung Fu fighting panda bear, the film was a diamond in the rough -- a wise Buddhist parable about destiny, identity, mentality and harmony, which also happened to be a cute and funny cartoon that tripled as an epic kung fu movie. Needless to say, these were not achievements readily discernible from a title like Kung Fu Panda and the tagline “featuring the voice of Jack Black!”

Xmen - First Class(2011) Reviews
What is more cooler than Wolverine? Prof X and magnetos story mates 
Next month's release of X-Men: First Class will be the first time fans have seen the characters of Professor X and Magneto since 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand, with the exception of Patrick Stewart's digitized cameo appearance in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. First Class will also see the return of Mystique, who appeared in all three X-Men movies, and Beast, who only appeared in The Last Stand.
Of course, First Class is a prequel set in the 1960s, so the characters will be played by other actors. So instead of Rebecca Romijn reprising her portrayal of Raven Darkholme, a.k.a. Mystique, Jennifer Lawrence (Winter's Bone) playing the part instead. Portrayed as a villain (more or less) in the X-Men movies, Lawrence told IGN that the younger version is more of "a normal teenager" who is "insecure about being a mutant, but she slowly grows to accept it and evolves into herself and starts to love it."

Thor(2011) Review
THOR(2011) prankly im disappointed, just a typical marvel movie 
The film boasts a number of British actors, including Tom Hiddleston as Thor’s brother Loki, and of course, the venerable Anthony Hopkins as the granddaddy of all Asgardians, Odin. Star Chris Hemsworth isn’t British, but let’s face it, he has less ground to cover in “sounding” British than, say, Jaimie Alexander, who plays the Warrior Lady Sif and hails from South Carolina, USA.
The first of Marvel Studios’ big-screen onslaught of big-budget comic book movies, “Thor” is probably the least well-known of the superheros that will be battling for your hard-earned bucks this Summer. Moviegoers certainly aren’t as familiar with him as they are with, say, Captain America (soon to be seen in his own movie, “Captain America: The First Avenger”) or Iron Man (eventually to be seen in “Iron Man 3″, but first in next year’s “The Avengers”). And if I’m being honest, it’s the one comic book character that I didn’t think could ever NOT look (or sound) silly onscreen. So you can imagine my surprise on how the film turned out: while not “knock your socks off” great, it’s still pretty darn “go figure, it’s a lot better than I thought it would be” good. Australian hunk of a man Chris Hemsworth stars as Thor, the Asgardian God of Thunder, though he’s never really mentioned as being a God, just a dude with a really cool hammer that can do really cool things like whip up lightning, tornadoes, and help him fly. It can also be wielded by only the most “worthy” of wielders, which makes you wonder how Odin, his pop, ever gave it to Thor, since when we first meet him, Thor is every bit the thoughtless rogue his much more sublime brother Loki believes him to be. On the day of Thor’s coronation to the throne, some unsavory Frost Giants (tall, blue ice beings) break into Asgard and cause mischief. Thor, never one to take an invasion lying down, decides to retaliate by attacking the Frost Giants’ home world, starting up a war that has been in a state of limbo for centuries or thereabouts. (“The Chronicles of Riddick’s” Colm Feore voices King Laufey, leader of the ice-lovin’ Frost Giants.)

Prom(2011) Reviews
A Funny Movie to watch for teens.. 
Nova (Aimee Teegarden) has been planning the school's prom. She and her friends, Mei (Yin Chang), Ali (Janelle Ortiz), Brandon (Jonathan Keltz), and Rolo (Joe Adler) have created the perfect decorations, which they store in the school's shed. Nova, who has a crush on Brandon, hopes he will ask her to prom, but he wants to carpool instead. Meanwhile, Lloyd (Nicholas Braun), the "invisible" guy at school, is complaining about prom to his stepsister, Tess (Raini Rodriguez), because he has no date, to which she responds by telling him he should just ask somebody. Elsewhere at the school, Tyler (De'Vaughn Nixon) is confronted by his girlfriend, Jordan (Kylie Bunbury), who assumes he is cheating on her due to the single gold earring she finds in his car. He assures her this is not the case, and Jordan believes him. "Bad boy" Jesse Richter (Thomas McDonell) has been cutting school lately and showing other "unacceptable" behavior, such as riding his motorcycle on school grounds. The principal (Jere Burns) has a talk with him, but is not satisfied with Jesse's attitude. Mei learns she has been accepted into Parsons, which conflicts with the plans she made with her boyfriend, Justin (Jared Kusnitz), of going to the University of Michigan together. She is stressed about this and becomes irritable as prom approaches, which she agrees to go to with Justin. Sophomore Lucas (Nolan Sotillo) is attracted to Simone (Danielle Campbell), his lab partner, who he tries to get her with the help of his friend Corey (Cameron Monaghan). Ali asks Rolo who he is taking to prom, which he responds by telling her he is taking his girlfriend, who she doubts exists.
That night, Tyler takes to Jordan to the school's shed, which he has decorated with many candles, to ask her to prom, and she agrees. When they leave the shed, however, they forget to put out a single candle. The shed promptly catches fire and burns down. The next day, a devastated Nova, with no decorations and only three weeks to prom, asks her friends for extra help to pull the dance off, which they all back out of, each listing their own reason. The principal, seeing her dilemma, has an idea, and forces Jesse to help her, or he cannot graduate. Although Nova and Jesse both are unhappy with this situation, they comply anyway.
At school, Lloyd is having trouble finding a date, even with the help of his sister. At one point Lloyd scares his crush Alice (Ivy Malone) and her best friend Leah (Blair Fowler). Lloyd loses confidence and becomes frustrated. During lacrosse practice, Tyler invites Lucas to the team barbecue, and tells him to invite a girl. Lucas decides to ask Simone, to which she agrees.
After school, Nova is growing frustrated because Jesse is late to helping her work on prom. Finally, he shows up, and there is tension right away. They have several arguments, one of which leads to Jesse apologizing. Later at home, Nova complains to her parents about her having to work with Jesse, when Brandon shows up and tells her he cannot take her to prom, and that she will have to find another date. As the prom date becomes closer, Nova and Jesse grow closer while working together on prom. Jesse also tells Nova the reason he is always late to help is because he has to help pick up his little brother from school, as his mother is unable to. One night, Nova finds out that the neighboring high school has the same theme for their prom as her own. Jesse suggests they take his motorcycle to go check out the other school's decorations, and she reluctantly agrees. However, they are caught by the police, who call Nova's parents. Nova's father is infuriated with Jesse and insults him.
At Tyler's barbecue, Tyler tries to make a move on Simone, only to be rejected by her. It is made clear they have a history. Simone tells Lucas that if she had known it was Tyler's barbecue, she would not have come. Mei's attitude is becoming worse and worse, and Justin believes she does not want to go to prom. He calls the date off, and Mei is left feeling very uncomfortable. At school, Lucas is blowing off Corey to spend more time with Simone, and asks her to study for the upcoming test with him, to which she agrees. However, as she is about to go to library, Simone is stopped by Tyler, who convinces her to talk with him. He tells her about his feelings for her. Jordan sees the two talking and immediately grasps the situation.
After school, Nova walks to Jesse's brother's school so she can talk to Jesse and apologize for her dad's behavior. Later, she takes him dress shopping. Back at school, Simone apologizes to Lucas for having ditched him. She has a surprise, tickets to a concert, where Stick Hippo (his and Corey's favorite band) is opening. Lucas wants to take Simone instead of Corey, much to Corey's dismay. Jordan dumps Tyler for his unfaithfulness, and decides to go to prom alone. This prompts him to ask Simone to prom, which is the same night as the concert, and she agrees. Simone tells Lucas that she is sorry, but she cannot go to the concert.
Mei apologizes to Justin for her behavior and tells him the truth, but instead of feeling hurt that she is going to a different college, he tells her he is proud of her. They agree to still go to prom together.
Lloyd spots Lucas sitting outside the school, looking dejected. He learns his situation, and tells Lucas his own mistake with girls and the high school. Lloyd tells Lucas that if he really loves Simone, he should tell her.
Two nights before prom, Nova, Ali, and Mei are in Nova's room, talking. Nova confesses to them that she has feelings for Jesse, which her dad unfortunately overhears. The next day, Nova's father tells Jesse he cannot ask Nova to prom, because he is "bringing her down". That afternoon, Jesse is unusually hostile towards Nova and deserts her.
On prom night, Lucas climbs a tree to reach Simone's window. He tells her how he feels and begs her not to go to prom, but she goes anyway. Disappointed, Lucas realizes what a bad friend he has been to Corey, and offers him the other concert ticket. The two head off to see their favorite band happily.
At her house, Nova is heartbroken, and refuses to pose for the camera in her prom dress. Her father, worried, explains that he was the one who told Jesse not to ask her to prom. Angered, Nova storms out of the house. Meanwhile, at Lloyd's house, it is revealed that he is taking his sister to prom. At Jesse's house, his mother has a talk with him, and he realizes that he should still take Nova to prom.
At the school, Tyler leads Simone into the building, and almost immediately abandons her. Simone finds out from a couple of girls that it was actually Jordan who dumped Tyler, and Tyler had gone to her with no other option. When Tyler asks her to dance (He was crowned prom king and Jordan queen) she refuses and leaves. She goes to the concert parking lot, where she waits for Lucas, and they share a dance.
Rolo comes in with his girlfriend, Athena, much to Ali's surprise. She is also surprised that all he said about her was true.
Nova is having an awful time at prom, and when Mei tells her the centerpiece, the fountain, is broken, she cannot take it anymore. As she is about to leave, she hears the fountain work again, and knows the only person who could have fixed it was Jesse. He walks up to her and asks her to prom. She agrees, and they dance and share a kiss. Source www.wikipedia.com

Insidious(2011) reviews
A nice classic horror Movie.. Just like our beloved amityville stuff
On the surface, the Lambert family has it all. Father, Josh (Patrick Wilson), is a successful teacher; mother, Renai (Rose Byrne), is a songwriter. They have three children and have just moved into a large old house. Things are going great, except for a few little problems. Dalton (Ty Simpkins) is exploring the attic when he falls, bumps his head, and slips into a coma the following day, despite not having any serious injuries. As if that wasn't bad enough, Renai keeps seeing demons and ghosts in their house. And I thought termites were the worst thing you could find in a house you just bought!
There's a family move to a new house, but as it turns out, the Lamberts' problems don't stay at the old residence. There's a little issue with their son, Dalton. He's not in a coma, he's a body without a spirit, thanks to a little problem Dalton has with astral projection. Fortunately, grandma, Lorraine (Barbara Hershey), has had some experience with this sort of thing and she knows just who to call. Will the Lamberts save their son from the lipstick-faced demon (Joseph Bishara)?
Admittedly, I had low expectations of Insidious when I went into the theater, but on a Saturday night in front of a full theater, it was quite a fun experience. With an audience that's actually into the film, laughing and screaming and whatnot, these kinds of scary movies can be a lot of fun, and when it's a film that tries hard to be entertaining and creepy without any elements of torture porn or without being an R-rated film cut down to PG-13, there's fun to be had.
It's obvious that James Wan and Leigh Whannell have been watching a lot of 70s haunted house movies in the preparation to make Insidious, because they crib pretty much every positive aspect they can from those films. The tension built up in the opening forty-five minutes is very thick, and the scares are varied. Even though a lot of them are expected, there are still a lot of unexpected moments and a whole lot of dread-filled camera movements through empty rooms that really ratcheted up the tension. The film's scare plan is also well-done, with some very subtle flashes paired with overt ‘we're trying to scare you!' moments throughout the film's opening half.
Even after the supernatural elements are officially introduced and we see the black-skinned fire-faced man with holes for eyes, Insidious continues to crib some of the more interesting aspects of the 70s for its set pieces. The astral plane version of the Lambert household is concealed by endless fog, and the inside of the house looks like some kind of Coffin Joe fever dream filtered through the high camp lens of Dr. Phibes. The associate fiends that make up the bulk of the denizens of the Further were also very well done, with special notice going to the long-haired fiend (J. LaRose) that provides the bulk of the movie's early scares.
As for Whannell's script, it's perfectly serviceable and well balanced between both the haunted house and the supernatural horror elements. It's also much better than his Saw efforts, which is a sign that he's improving as a writer and crafter of characters. The decision for the Lamberts to move houses rather than simply stay at the haunted original house the entire time is kind of refreshing, especially in this genre. The use of astral projection as a means to opening up the self to the supernatural is an interesting wrinkle you don't see much. I figure most people forgot about astral projection after it went out of fashion in the 70s, but it fits in really well with the movie's retro vibe.
The movie's middle section has some tension-relieving comic relief, including a particularly memorable sequence involving two bumbling ghost hunters (played by Leigh Whannell and Angus Sampson), but once Elise (Lin Shaye) shows up and starts communing with the spirits and taking on this film's Zelda Rubinstein role, the comic relief goes away and the serious supernatural events start.
Still, the second half of the film isn't as good as the first, though I liked some of the touches involved in the less reality-based half of the film. It's not that the trip to the Further is bad, it's just not as good as the haunted house portions of the movie.
Ms. Shaye is one of the better performers in a movie that's actually full of surprising people. I mean Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne are pretty big names, especially considering Wilson's recent work, and Barbara Hershey is always welcome (this time, she's Patrick Wilson's mother, and she's got a secret). Even Whannell and his troublesome American accent aren't a bother, given that he's kept it to a minimum and paired with the equally amusing Sampson.
It feels strange to say it, but I quite enjoyed Insidious. As a haunted house movie, it was a pretty good one. As a supernatural horror, it was less successful, but still quite a bit of fun.
Wan and Whannell were very important in launching the torture porn genre. It remains to be seen if they can give the same boost to the haunted house genre.

Priest(2011) Review
The film first entered development in 2005, when Screen Gems bought the spec script by Cory Goodman. In 2006 Andrew Douglas was attached to direct and Gerard Butler was attached to star. They were eventually replaced by Stewart and Bettany in 2009 and filming started in Los Angeles, California, later in the year. The film changed release dates numerous times throughout 2010 and 2011. It was especially pushed back from 2010 to 2011 to convert the film from 2D to 3D. It is scheduled to be released first in the United Kingdom, Slovenia and Spain on May 06, 2011.[2]
An interview in Priest: Volume 3 the author Hyung Min-woo states that the comic was inspired by the computer game Blood, which featured a similar horror-Western aesthetic and undead protagonist.
