Thor (2011)

$Watch Thor 123movies-Thor is obviously the latest film in the Marvel Film Universe, directed by Kenneth Branagh and starring fellow Aussie Christ Hemsworth as the Titular character. The plot kind of cuts to the spoilers early on so as a spoiler-free review I shouldn\'t tell you the plot. Though Kenneth Branagh is a really weird choice to direct this he does make this (I am happy) to say Marvel\'s best work yet. He mixes a fan boy\'s wet dream and mixes it with suitable humor, dazzling FX and (probably the best part of the movie) the family\'s relationship to make this appeal to everybody. The acting is also good, Chris Hemsworth was probably the perfect choice for Thor, Anthony Hopkins played Odin good (as he could do in his sleep), Natalie Portman played Jane good, though the character doesn\'t have that much interesting, she does what she has too do, Kat Dennings was actually really good as Jane\'s annoying friend who freshens up the humor throughout the movie, Stellan Skarsgård is good, the supporting cast was generally good but Tom Hiddleston steals the show, as the envious of Thor and mischievous villain Loki. Kenneth Branagh did a really good job at this movie. Though it is at the start a bit hard to get into. But Thor is a great action film with strong acting, screenplay and direction. This is really the Superhero movie to beat this year.$

Soul Surfer (2011)

$Watch Soul Surfer 123movies-Soul Surfer was an excellent movie about a thirteen year old who after losing an arm came back. I saw the movie with my mom and we both cried during the whole thing. All the actors and actresses were extremely good. Even Carrie Underwood. The tsunami in Thailand part really added to the movie. The surfing was excellent and so was the end and credits with pictures of the real people was amazing. This film teaches a lot about having good sportsmanship. Through out the film you could tell that even though she was having a hard time she was pushing through. Even though I\'m Christan this was the first Christan film I\'ve seen apart from my church classes. I would highly recommend this movie for anyone. It is truly an inspirational story.$

Water for Elephants

$Watch Water for Elephants 123movies-Sara Gruen\'s Book Water For Elephants was a masterpiece and while books are always better than the movie, this movie came pretty darn close. A few changes were made from the book but the movie captures the essence of the book masterfully. The cinematography alone deserves awards. The set design and costumes are the best I\'ve seen since The Titanic. The cast is sublime. Robert Pattinson proves that he is more than a pretty face. While he still seems to be stiff a couple of times his performance is spot on. His work with Rosie(Tai)the elephant melted my heart. Tai herself stole almost every shot she was in. Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz remind the viewer why they are Academy Award winners. Francis Lawrence\'s direction and vision for the movie truly transports the viewer to the 1930\'s. I\'ve seen the movie 3 times and I know I\'ll go back to see it again. I\'ll be buying the DVD the day it is released too. The movie is a must see in my opinion.$

All Shirley wants is to gather her three adult children around her and share the news as a family.

It\'s up to Madea, with the help of the equally rambunctious Aunt Bam, to gather the clan together and make things right the only way she knows how: with a lot of tough love, laughter ... and the revelation of a long-buried family secret.$

The Lincoln Lawyer (

$Watch The Lincoln Lawyer 123movies-L.A. criminal defense attorney Mickey Haller signs on to defend slick, suave playboy real estate agent Louis Roulet. Roulet has been charged with assault, and his overbearing mother will do anything to clear the son\'s name. Cost is no issue - Mickey has his first high-paying client in years.

What he should have been on the watch for was evil, evil as pure as a flame. The setting here is the lawyers mobile \$

Arthur (2011)

$Watch Arthur 123movies-The original Arthur, was and is a great film. It was funny, well written and well acted. It garnered 4 Oscar nominations and 2 wins. It won 4 out of 5 Golden Globes. John Gielgud so deserved his award so well that year. Dudley Moore, in the title character, had the same lovable charm that Russel Brand has in this remake. But, there are several things missing which make the 2011 version an OK film, and not a part of cinema awards. First, its 2011 and not 1981. The original version would never be made today. Plain and simple. Arthur was a drunk. A hard drinker, who fell down, slurred words,and yes, even was driving drunk in several scenes. No way would that get approved today, or anyone think it was funny. It was this funny drunk that made Dudley\'s Arthur so much fun, even though today we would rush for interventions or rehab. Second, the director forgot this is a New York film. It is set in New York, but so much changed from one film to the other that the setting was indifferent here. No more neighborhood bars, dinners, landmark shopping sites, or eateries. There is one really good scene involving Grand Central, but it does not make up for the lack in the rest of the film. Linda becomes Naomi in the new film. She is not a New Yorker. Does not look like one, or act like one. She plays the part well, but its just not the same. Again, this remake could be set anywhere. Can you imagine the original anywhere but NY! Third, as good as Helen Mirrim is, she is not the Hobson that John Gielgud presented. She will not get any awards for this presentation. So, if you do not make any comparisons, you will like the film, but most likely not fall in love with it for 30 years. The film is well acted, written in parts, but it steals one lines too much from the original, that just seemed forced here or are not well placed. Whereas we see Arthur drink, he never really seems drunk. The relationship with Hobson is presented as a mother/son, rather than father/son. It was hard to believe in the relationship as much as the previous film. The chemistry between Arthur and Naomi was believable and flow very well throughout the film. Susan Johnson, played by Jennifer Garner had much more of a role here than the original. It needed to be reverted back. It was just not funny. Lastly, Nick Nolte was just plain horrible and nasty. He could have been written out completely. It made no sense for plot development. So, the new Arthur is as an OK remake, but not as good as it could have been.$

Insidious (2011)

$Watch Insidious 123movies-Insidious is the latest horror endeavor by the original Saw creator, James Wan, and Paranormal Activity producer Jason Blum that will literally terrify audiences. It revolves around Josh Lambert (Patrick Wilson) and Renai Lambert (Rose Byrne as they move into a new home. Their oldest son, Dalton (Ty Simpson) is an adventurer who likes to explore. One night when venturing into the attic, he falls and hits his head. The next morning, he is in a coma. Unable to do anything, Josh and Renai bring him home to care for in the hope he will one day come out of it. Then, strange things start to happen. Strange noises occur. Faces appear. Things are moved. The alarm sounds. Strange happenings occur more frequently. After a while, they have had enough and move to a small house for lease. It does not help. Apparently, it was not the house that was haunted, but rather Dalton. More bizarre things happen - frightening things. At this point, they turn for help from Josh\'s Mom, (Barbara Hershey) and Elise (Lin Shaye). She explains the strange things that pervade: what is happening, why it is happening, and how to get Dalton back. This leads to a secret memory that Josh has buried (which was easy to figure out) and a terrifying venture into the spiritual world. Insidious, despite a few flaws is deft craft, using atmosphere, suspense, terror, and stunning visual imagery that will frighten the deepest part of your soul. This accomplishment is primarily done with Wan\'s wonderful direction that leaves an audience confused, guessing, and frightened. The performances by Wilson, Byrne, Shay, and Simpson are also good, giving the audience people to care about. The story is also engaging, slowly unfolding in a subtle way that keeps our interest. It is part Amityville Horror, part Poltergeist, part Exorcist, and a few other horror gems. The most stunning aspect is the imagery, especially when crossing over into the spirit world. It is not only frightening, but downright disturbing. Yes, it has a few flaws. The explanation offered by Elise seems too convenient and easy, as if writers assumed the audience HAD to know what was going on instead of leaving us in the dark to figure it out for ourselves.

Hop (2011)

$Watch Hop 123movies-Hop was a film that I saw advertised earlier this week, and was immediately interested in seeing it. And I am glad I did, as for Easter this is a treat for the whole family with a lot to like. As a family movie, Hop is cute and funny entertainment for both kids and adults. Is it quite perfect? Not quite. I personally would have liked Hop to have been longer by about three or four minutes, that way some of the human characters could have been developed a little more. Also, while the pace in general is fast and brisk, there is the odd occasion in the film where it could have slowed down a little to give the audience a little more room to breathe. However, Hop is a perfect example of a film that ticks most of the right boxes when it comes to a family movie. In my mind, when it comes to part-animated/live-action comedies, Hop is one of the better ones, much better than the Garfield and Alvin and the Chipmunks movies anyway. The animation is great, with vibrant colours and bright backgrounds and the bunnies and chicks look absolutely adorable, and the live-action sequences with its striking locations and crisp editing are equally lovingly rendered. Hop also benefits from a bright and breezy soundtrack, and a jaunty score by Chris Lennertz that fit with the tone of the film very well. The writing is funny and smart, people might argue there aren\'t enough pop-culture references to satisfy adults, maybe so but as an 18 year old female the lack of emphasis on pop-culture references didn\'t bother me as I have seen some animated films and shows where it goes overboard with references that are either dated or distract from the film completely. If anything, to be light with that kind of humour was a strength as Hop wasn\'t really about that. Also the running gag about Hugh Hefner and the altogether different kind of bunny didn\'t bother me at all, but I can see why some may find it questionable. The script has some funny and witty lines too, with Carlos having the best and most memorable. I was also taken with the story. While not the most original story in the world, it is a polished and fun one that is fast-paced and entertaining throughout and because of its sophistication it appeals to adults as well as kids. The characters are all likable and engaging, more the animated characters than the live-action characters admittedly, EB is a zany and endearing protagonist especially. Tim Hill\'s direction is above serviceable, and the acting is well done. James Marsden manages to be likable without being bland, and Elizabeth Perkins is lovely to watch. Even seeing David Hasselhoff was fun. And there is also a lively vocal cast, headed by a very vivacious Russell Brand as EB and Hugh Laurie who is rock solid as always as his dad, while Hank Azaria is outstanding in a dual role particularly as Carlos.$

Source Code (2011)

$Watch Source Code 123movies-Source Code is a Action Sci Fi Thriller film Directed by Duncan Jones (same guy that brought us Moon, 2009) This film centres a soldier who wakes up in another man\'s body. He soon discovers he\'s part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. It\'s starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga, Jeffrey Wright, Russell Peters, Michael Arden & Scott Bakula. #FACT: Topher Grace was also considered for the lead role. SLIDER\'S REVIEW: When I saw the trailer for this film, I knew I had to go see it. Last time I saw Jake Gyllenhaal in a major role was in Love & Other Drugs and his performance there was very heartfelt. When I watched Source Code I was surprised that it surpassed all my expectations, believe me when I say this is one epic blockbuster (a must see). It\'s one of the most thrilling rides I\'ve been on whilst watching a film. The action is very hands on and detective like work so were exploring with the lead role, this made it very entertaining. I don\'t think I\'m exaggerating when I say this is as good as Inception (yep it\'s that good). From the moment we meet Capt. Colter Stevens on a train this film had my full attention (it just grabs you from the word Go). I felt like I started off with the main character because he knows as much as I did when the film starts so it felt like we went through understanding the Source Code together. I loved the twist and turns the storyline takes, one minute I thought I knew what was going to be the outcome... then it switches. it has a very creative plot alongside the type of love story I could see developing. Parts of the film has that jaw dropping effect that just keeps getting better. I think most people who see this film will want to watch it again to understand it more or simply to just to watch it again. I loved the concept that a man could go back 8 minutes using a computer programme before an explosion in a bid to save lives. The visual effects of the explosions looked really cool to watch. The director has produced the world a smart action thriller that does its job extremely well and will be talked about for months to come. The Best Film in 2011 So Far. Jake Gyllenhaal has done it again. This has got to be his best work on screen in a very long time. His character as Capt. Colter Steven was a very heart pounding person to watch. He carried this film from the moment we set eyes on him all the way to the end. He\'s a smart and charming man that just had everything his character needed. A Very good actor. Michelle Monaghan is one pretty woman. Her character was Christina. She plays this neatly dressed, well-spoken woman exceptionally well. I\'m sure it wasn\'t easy trying to keep up with forever changing scenarios. The women on the monitor screen is Carol Goodwin, her character is played by Vera Farmiga. She help us understand more as the film goes along. She also is a very good actress. Jeffery Wright plays a very believable Dr. Rutledge. I for one was surprised to see Russell Peters in this film (when did he become an actor?). I have to give credit to the comedian because he does an Applausable job, surprisingly the acting seemed to come natural to him. This cast was amazing as a whole.$

Sucker Punch (2011)

$Watch Sucker Punch 123movies-If you know Zack Snyder, you know that people either love his movies or they hate them. This is exactly the case with his newest visual \'Sucker Punch\'. Not everyone liked his previous films like, \'300\' and \'Watchman\'. This is also Snyder\'s first film not adapted from previous work. But the ones who did, were in love. I\'m going to come out and just say, that the people that didn\'t like \'Sucker Punch\' probably didn\'t get it. It\'s more than just five sexy girls in slutty outfits shooting up the place. It has such a deeper story, and if you\'re one of the people that picked it up, you\'ll feel for all the characters so much more. The story is pretty simple. A teenage girl goes through trauma, get committed to an insane asylum, and is trying to escape. The story seems simple, but it goes so much more deeper than that. She pretty much is using her imagination, to deeply intensify her surroundings. Remember when we were little and certain parts of the floor was hot lava? That\'s kind of what she\'s doing. With the help of four other girls in the asylum, she goes on unreal \'missions\' to get the key items needed to escape. I wish I could touch more on the deep story, but I feel like it\'ll give too much away. I\'ll just say that this movie makes you think. If you actually pay attention to the story, and not just the action, this movie is will be one of the most original movies in years. Overall this movie was amazing. The visuals, the action, the story, as well as the acting. I must admit, Vanessa Hudgens and Jamie Chung, although not as prominent as I wish they would\'ve been, steal every scene they\'re in. The soundtrack was awesome, I actually downloaded it as soon as I got home. One gripe I did have with the film, was it\'s rating. I wish it wasn\'t PG-13, an R rating would have allowed Snyder to get away with so much more, and I feel like the insanity would have been intensified, which would have been nice to see. If you\'re a fan on mind bending movies that a lot of people will say \'that didn\'t make sense\'. Think, \'Wizard of Oz\', meets \'Inception\', meet\'s \'Alice In Wonderland\', with video game action and levels. Remember, that this movie, it\'s her mind that you\'re in, and whatever happens, no matter unreal it may seem, that you once believed that certain parts of the ground was lava. Free and open you\'re mind, and watch \'Sucker Punch\'. It\'s a feast for your eyes, ears and mind.$

Limitless (2011)

$Watch Limitless 123movies-The movie really shows how a person can fully use his brain and how too much power can lead to an utter demise, like drugs, but the movies seemed too unrealistic for a modern day movie even though it isn\'t trying it is still very unbelievable. you also don;t get attached to the other actors at all, which is a very sad thing ,especially considering that we have deniro in the movie which doesn\'t appear more than several times. But the logical and compelling way it is done in is very interesting for the viewers. its also is a bit un interesting to look at how the main character is trying to commit suicide and remembers past movies. it seems too fake!and finally i would say that it is still a great movie.$

Red Riding Hood (201

Mars Needs Moms (201

$Watch Mars Needs Moms 123movies-Based upon the novel by Berkeley Breathed, Mars Needs Moms, is a creative way to look at both what lies beyond our world in space and having a deeper appreciation for our mothers, even if they do make us do chores and eat vegetables. When Milo (Seth Green) witnesses his mother (Joan Cusack) being abducted by aliens, he chases after her only to be whisked away to Mars as well. There, he surprisingly meets another human being, Gribble (Dan Fogler), who explains that the Martians need nurturing mothers who also are firm with their children so they can harness those traits into their nanny bots. With the aid of a rogue Martian, Ki (Elisabeth Harnois), the race is on to save Milo\'s mom before it is too late. Filmed with motion censor technology, the actors are thrust into their animated counterparts on screen delivering strong, heartfelt performances. The adaptation from book to screen is done in a graceful manner that promises one fun, thrilling adventure that is, I apologize for the corny joke, out of this world. While the 3D doesn\'t really add anything special to the film, director Simon Wells is able to keep the audience engaged in the fast-paced action and swift, comedic dialogue that inevitably makes for a really enjoyable movie experience.$

World Invasion: Batt

$Watch World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles 123movies-Well the title says it all... About a good 98% of this movie it is action packed sequences, apart from the beginning i don\'t believe there is a good 5 minutes without any guns being fired, but i liked it! While watching the trailers i honestly thought that this would be another movie which would be just focused on the team of marines trying to survive and that would be about it. I was surprised that the movie would include details about the aliens, why they were invading, what they where doing, what they looked like, details about the enemy spaceships etc... I especially loved the scene where Los Angeles has pretty much been wiped out, they capture one of the aliens and they perform a clumsy autopsy of the alien while it\'s alive to try and find it\'s week spot. Eventually they find it, but I\'m still unsure what it was, it seemed like it was a heart, but it was never mentioned. I don\'t know why, i loved this scene a lot! I did notice one plot hole in the movie which was before the scene in the sewers. The marries are running around under neither a bridge in the middle of the night, they go underground in the sewers for no more than 10 minutes of the movie, which couldn\'t have been 30 minutes in the movie time, but when the re-surface, it is the middle of the day! But that didn\'t change my views what so ever! Overall, Battle Los Angeles was an excellent movie in my opinion and it\'s a definite watch, i need to own a copy on DVD when it\'s released! Excellent acting, superb CGI and visual effects, lovely ending, mind- blowing music and sounds and an amazing story line! What more can you ask for?!$
