First Impression: Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1

You can't see this on Apples site yet, only on YouTube—and now here as well. Check out the first official trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (there is an official part 1 and 2 trailer you can see on this site as well, click here). And for all you wizards itching to see it on your iPhones, click here.

First Impression: The Fighter

Okay, kids. You want to watch the trailer for the Rocky of the the 2000s? Here it is. The Fighter stars Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale and Amy Adams in this based on a true story, eat your heart out Rocky Balboa crowd pleaser (hopefully, let's keep our fingers crossed). Here's the trailer, and for all you iPhone light-weights, knock yourselves out with the trailer here.

The Karate Kid

Okay, I'm not going to lie when I say I had serious doubts about this film. I love Jackie Chan—just not sure about the young Jaden Smith.

After watching this remake, I can safely say that I really enjoyed it. I love the fact that the story was kept the same, with a few tweaks to really make it seem different. A younger cast, a new setting, and even a "sweep the leg" moment really brought back memories from watching the original The Karate Kid.

Definitely a movie that I will let my kids watch, once it comes out on DVD. Should be out the first part of October.

Resident Evil: Afterlife

Hmm... not sure what to think of this installment of the Resident Evil series. On the one hand, it's Milla Jovovich, along with a few of the cast from the previous RE movie as well as Wentworth Miller (Prison Break). On the other hand, the story seemed to be on the weak side—at one point, towards the end of the film, I felt like I was watching a scene right out of The Matrix.

Unless you're a huge Resident Evil fan, I think it's safe to say that you can skip this one in the theater and wait for it to infect a Redbox near you in a few months.

Frozen

Ah, what ever happened to go story telling when making movies? Seriously. The story line of Frozen (if you can call it that) was everything but compelling and unique. It was like watching a winter time version of Open Water; and if you've seen that movie you know the pain I felt while watching Frozen. Nothing like watching people slowly freeze to death on a ski lift.

Skip this movie and avoid the frostbite you'll get from watching it.

Piranha

Okay, this movie was bad—really, really bad. It's like a bunch of mini-Jaws meets spring breakers. Seriously, I wish I could take back the time I wasted watching this movie. Blah. Don't waste your time with this one, not even when it comes to a Redbox near you.
