Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

This movie was kind of frustrating. I didn't like all the tension of Hogwarts becoming a bad place, and I didn't like that Mrs. Figg was hurting people.

True Grit

I didn't have high expectations for this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. I do love Westerns, or at least modern ones. The dialogue was good, and there was at least one surprise in the plot. There were about five too many instances of deus ex, however, and I was disappointed with the way it ended.

Death Race 2

They clearly had a problem finding quality people for this movie. The dialogue, direction, production, editing, and acting were all horrible. If you like Death Race enough, though, you can almost get past all of that. The idea behind the movie was solid, it was great to see how it all started, and they finally got something right when people stopped talking and things wrapped up at the end.

Despicable Me

Carell's voice was grating and I didn't think all the hip thrusts and butt jokes were entirely appropriate, but the minions were fun.
