CLASH OF THE TITANS
"... was there really a reason to replace Bubo the mechanical owl with a not so subtly camouflaged rip-off of Chewbacca?" -- David Baldwin
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON
"...none of the villagers had seen a ‘Night Fury’ before either, and yet every one of them could identify it straight away ('Aaah! The Night Fury!' Come on, how do you know?)." -- William Cashin
KICK-ASS
"While I imagined it would be worse, Kick-Ass is still an incredibly brutal and often disgustingly violent picture... [and] an incredibly enjoyable time at the movies." -- David Baldwin
