Get Smart

When Control has been attacked the chief (Arkin) had to promote analyst Max Smart (Steve Carell) to discover KAOS' master plan against the nation.
 I was incredibly pleased that Carell did not go overboard with the comedy and goofiness. I was expecting him to be Michael Scott from The Office, tenfold. But no, he kept it very accurate to the originals, or so I am told-- I have not seen the TV show.
 Anne Hathaway was hilarious especially after claiming she is an older agent with plastic surgery. It made it weird to think she was hot.
 Great movie, entertaining. 

Hancock

A story of an infamous superhuman (Smith), who has been shunned from society because of his saving under the influence and destruction of government property in the process. But a man with a dream to save the world befriends him and encourages him to let people see him differently. In the process, he realizes he's not alone.
This was surprisingly well done as far as Will Smith goes. He definitely showed his bad ass side, but throughout the movie he had a story that was quite sad behind it all.
The story line was very well done, though Hancocks background could have been visualized more, and I feel he developed to fast, considering in the process of anger management he never shared very much.
The supporting actors Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman were very good and really added to the emotional growth of the movie.
I would say this movie is a must see.

Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

The nephew of a Telmarine flees from being murdered into the mysterious and eerie country of Narnia. Called by magic, the young heroes from long ago in Narnia are disrupted from their life in modern days to save Narnia from Telmar with the help of the nephew of the Telmarinian  king, Caspian.
The movie was great, and the effects were good. The battle scenes were very "creative" compared to the book, but not making it way out there. They followed the book very well, and explained stuff well enough for non-book fans to understand.
The part I despised was the last minute of the movie, where Susan flings herself at Caspian for a goodbye, lovey-dovey kiss. I believe Disney was probably pressured into letting this kiss in by fans because of how "hot" Ben Barnes (Caspian) supposedly is.
The kiss ruined the movie because there was no kiss or romantic inference in the book.
But still a must see if you don't care.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

A composer-loser (Jason Segel) was in a 5 year relationship with a sexy TV-Star (Kristen Bell) when everything went down the tubes. Things get worse when Segel finds his way to Hawaii to try and get over Bell when she happens to be in the same resort with her new singer boyfriend. 
Forgetting Sarah Marshall was a movie we can all relate to in some way or another. Everyone has probably been dumped by a girl they really liked or even loved. FSM does not have a "bad guy" but all the characters have a different idea of love, where it may be sleeping around, being with someone forever, or that the guy has to dote on you every second and make you feel pretty.
This is one movie I would classify in my recently claimed genre, "What the Hell?", because at some point in the movie Segel starts singing in a voice that sounds like Count from Sesame Street and then he gets a random hug from a fat guy.
I would recommend you brace yourself for the most random penis shots you have ever experienced. They were definitely unnecessary, but at the same time it made it really funny.
This movie was definitely a movie I would see many times, and I hope all of you enjoy it. Now go watch it.
Ps. Mila Kunis is a babe.
