'Toy Story 3'
It's delightful. »
'The Karate Kid'
New version doesn't quite measure up »
'Get Him to the Greek'

'Sex and the City 2'
Sequel is a lesser film, but fans won't mind »
'Shrek Forever After'
The magic, sadly, is gone. »
Letters to Juliet
It's predictable, but the film is still a nice escape. »

Two funny people with great comic chemistry take us for a night on the town. »
Review: 'How to Train Your Dragon'
Cuddly cartoon characters can't overcome the emphasis on message over comedy. »

The movie rants and raves, sputters and squeals. »

Another original children's show at The Rose »
Percy Jackson & the Olympians
Reviews are calling it an inferior Harry Potter wannabe, but the flick looks fun for young teens and tweeners. »

Harmless date movie but not very good. »
