Mr Popper's Penquins

Jim Carry, as Mr Popper, has delivered to him from his deceased father, crates of penquins. Comedy ensues as Carry learns to live with these animals as they steal the show and help bring his family back together. More for the kids but I liked it. Some very funny scenes as only Carry could pull off. 3 bananas

Super 8

Not as interesting as the trailers. Train with secret government cargo is derailed while a group of youngsters are filming a movie(on super 8 film). What turns out to be an Alien escapes from the train wreck and the government closes down the area to prevent their secret which has been recorded by the young film makers. Either to high tech or to stupid for me to understand. I was expecting more from Steven Speilberg. 2 bananas

X-men: First Class

Prequel to all the X-men movies. Explains how the mutants were recruited and divided by good and bad. Fun with good special effects. Definitely worth the view as the history of how X-Men gets started is interesating. 2 1/2 bananas
