The People's Voice in Motion Pictures

This movie jumpstarts the summer blockbuster season with an even faster pace than Iron Man 3, which is hard to believe but it's true! The villian is one that Star Trek fans will be wonderfully surprised to see in his splendor! Action, adventure, laughs, surprises and even a shock or two, Star Trek: Into Darkness may rake in as many new fans as it does money this time around. See it if you like Sci-fi or see it if you like to sit on the edge of your seat for action/adventure and fun! A+

Fun is back in the latest installment of the Iron Man series with lots of action, humor, romance and surprises as Robert Downey Jr. proves he IS Iron Man with a $175.3 million weekend opening! It won't surpass The Avengers in any way, and Stark recognizes the impact of earth's mightiest heroes fighting aliens on his mental and emotion state in Iron Man 3. It is a deserving sequel, but the Mandarin deserved much more. The movie is worth the wait and so is anyone willing to wait to the closing credits are over. B+

The Big Wedding was a huge disappointment given the stars and talent on the screen. It stumbled and fell flat by the end. Robin Williams was a total waste as a priest. This comedy of errors was like "The Bird Cage" without the funny. Catch it on TBS in 2 years, not even worth a rental. D-.

Earning more than any baseball film in history, "42" also earned the respect of critics in capturing the early life of baseball legend, Jackie Robinson. The film earns its PG-13 rating, but is inspiring to see how a man of character was eventually embraced by major league baseball. Look for an Oscar nod early next year!

Which genre will hover over Hollywood this summer: Sci-Fi films or Super hero movies? Some of the best of both genres will be competing for your attention on the big screen! Will you see them all or will you choose "Man of Steel" and "Iron Man III" over Oblivion,The Host and World War Z?

Weigh in! Do you think "The Hobbit" deserves to stand beside The Lord of the Ring series or should it stand above the three classics? With even better special effects and a fast moving storyline, it certainly won't lag behind... or will it?
