"Abduction" starring "Twilight" movie series actor Taylor Lautner was unoriginal and un-entertaining. The movie stars Lautner as "Nathan Harper" - a young man who is pursued by a group of criminals because of who his dad is and what he does for a living...

"16 Wishes" is the tale of 16-year-old Abagail, who wants to grow up too fast. A woman named Celeste appears one day to teach her about appreciating being a girl, by magically granting Abagail, you guessed it, 16 wishes.

At first the wishes for superficial things such as clothes and a red sports car make her happy. However, one of the wishes on the list takes things in a grown up direction, which is something Abigail is not ready for in the least...

Site Rating: 2 out of 10 stars

"Atlas Shrugged" is the odd film about eccentric wealthy people joining a cryptic group that promises them they will be able to flee society and live according to their full potential, lead by someone named "John Galt." The name is invoked so many times in the film, in the question "Who is John Galt" that after a while it becomes plain annoying.

This is just the type of eccentric, strange film Hollywood loves about cryptic, cultish behavior that makes no sense to anyone with any sense...

"Fast Five" is the fifth installment in "Fast And The Furious" film series. This action packed sequel starred Vin Diesel and Paul Walker and takes place in Rio De Janeiro, Brasil. "Fast Five" is reminiscent of "Ocean’s Eleven" as it is about a group of criminals planning a heist. Only this film is about robbing a drug dealer, which is, how do I put it, dumb and dangerous...

"Green Lantern" is one of the superhero movies launched this year, based on the Marvel comic book of the same name. Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds, who was clearly hired as eye candy, stars as the Green Lantern, who is an aviator struggling with memories of his deceased dad.

He is chosen as a superhero by a wait for it..."Green Lantern" from another planet that is really fond of the color green. "Gossip Girl" television actress Blake Lively, hired as additional eye candy, stars as the Lantern’s love interest and co-worker that the bad guys go after.

First off, I saw so much green in this move, I started getting tired of the color. Everywhere you look green…green…green. We get the point. It’s GREEN Latern. The special EFX were better than average though, but it made the movie a little too slick.

When I saw this scene, especially the forehead, I thought "Oh, I didn't know Rihanna was in this film" (LOL)
