Inception
WOW! Make sure to see this when there isn't a large audience as there is a lot to hear and process. Leonardo Decaprio has discovered how to get inside peoples dreams and to plant suggestions for future decision making. He is in hiding from the U.S. Government for some past wrong doing but is promised by a very influential person that all his problems can go away if he would perform one more dream intervention. From there things really get wild. Confusing, you bet, but the ending pretty much clears every thing up. I think you have to see this a 2nd time to catch everthing. 3 1/2 banas
Salt
Good action with Angela Joline as a double/triple(?) CIA agent going up against the russians and the CIA as she is accused of being an enemy spy. Some scenes are beyond belief but for the summer, this will keep you entertained as the no-stop action continues till the end. 2 1/2 bananas

Johathan Hex
Good shooten-up Western taken from the comic books. Hex is branded, on the face, and left for dead soon after the civil war. He survives and is recruited by the government to stop a terror plot on the capital being plotted by the man who branded him. See it for a change of pace. 3 bananas
Knight and Day
Tom Cruise and Camerron Diaz are terrific in this comedy action flick centering around forces in the FBI chasing Cruise and Diaz around the world in search of a new power source in batteries. Some unbelieveable action scenes steal the show. Much fun if you aren't counting the bodies. 3 bananas
The A-Team
Funny but stupid recreation of the television show. Great scenes but most are so far over the edge it's hard to get into this non-stop action movie of 4 decorated soliders who are set up by the CIA, jailed, escape and create havoc for the CIA. 2 bananas

Just Wright
As much as I love Queen Latifa this isn't one of her better movies. Queeny is a physical therapist who rehabilitates the star of the New Jersey Nets basketball team. Love is not far behind as is Queen's dim witted friend who also falls for the same BB player. Forget it. 1 banana

MacGruber
BAD movie, BAD acting and plenty of BAD references to "dicks". Poorly done spoof of the tv series McGiver. Not worth my time reviewing. Don't se it! 0 bananas

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Terrific Swedish murder mystery that starts with a journalist, just convicted of libel, recruited by a powerful family to look into the death/disappearance of one its members many years ago. Many twists and turns as the journalist teams up with 24 year old super smart computer hacker who has her own set of problems. See it. Sub titles. Probably only in artsy cinemas. 3 1/2 bananas
Robin Hood
Pretty good prequel to what we've known as the original Robin Hood movie. Starring Russell Crowe as Robin Longstreet we see what Robin was up to before he and his merry band of thieves started living in the woods, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Some great battle scenes as Robin defends the Crown but also gets a bit long in parts. See it to find out how Robin becomes Robin Hood. 2 1/2 bananas
