If you can get past the "Blair Witch Project" style of filming - shaky camera, misaligned subjects, hand-held footage - you'll learn about the main character.

Piranha 3D is a good bad movie and a bad good movie.

| Reel Watchers: The Expendables |
Sylvester Stallone misses the '80s. Back then action films were simple.

| Reel Watchers: The Other Guys |
We all love action cop movies where the heroic police officer performs death defying stunts to catch the bad guy, all in the name of America, justice and apple pie.

|
Do you remember the famous sorcerer's apprentice scene from "Fantasia" - the one starring Mickey Mouse? Ever wondered what the before and after were of that scene? These questions can be answered in the new movie, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice."

| Reel Watchers: The A-Team |
If someone had asked me a year ago what I thought of an A-Team movie, I would have said it was a stupid concept and then ranted for 10 solid minutes about how Hollywood can't come up with any original ideas. And while I still have that Hollywood rant loaded and ready to go for anyone willing to listen, I do have to admit that this movie was not a stupid concept.

| Reel Watchers: Marmaduke |
Opening to tepid reviews nationally, one would certainly think twice of paying $14 or so per person in a big city to see this movie. However, this is better-than-expected cute summer fluff; safe to take small kids to and worth the low price locally of a ticket. One has to wonder what these professional movie critics expect.

Adapted from a Dennis Lehane novel, Mystic River, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Shutter Island is a taut, noirish thriller that will keep you riveted to your seat and guessing at every uneasy twist and turn.

Valentine's Day is a giant heart-shaped box of chocolates. Tasty, but chock full of more pieces than anyone can possibly enjoy in one sitting.

| Reel Watchers: From Paris With Love |
First the bad: This movie has some pretty stilted dialogue. It's no worse than most action fare, but Jonathan Rhys Meyers still has to slog through some brutally ham-fisted lines about love and relationships. John Travolta doesn't help as he spends most of his screen time chewing the scenery, then going back for seconds.

I was lucky enough to see The Tooth Fairy with Dwayne Johnson, Ashley Judd and Julie Andrews on opening night at the Brenden Theatre in Kingman.
