Elephant was so boring! The description on IMDb.com says Elephant follows six characters in their daily lives and don't we ever. The description didn't lie. All we see is these six chosen characters walking and their pointless mumbling to people they pass by. Nothing even remotely interesting happens for twenty minutes and the interesting part lasts roughly one second, maybe less. But it is just enough to keep some sort of tiny interest.

"Elephant" didn't develop any characters at all. We didn't get into their lives or thoughts or friends, we could barely even hear them speak. We follow them through the movie but we have no idea who they are. These six are complete strangers to us. None of them are memorable in the slightest.

"Elephant" was the most unemotional school shooting movie ever. The acting was terrible, there was no emotion or any sense of panic during a very emotional and appropriate time to panic. I didn't care about this movie at all which is hard to say about a movie dealing with a school shooting.

"G-Force" was interesting in the way it was presented. It wasn't really like any other kids movie I have seen. But, in this case that wasn't a good thing.

This was a very modern children's movie. There were a lot of computers in the movie and the world "download" was stated multiple times. "G-Force" mentioned global extinction, Facebook, it contained a lot of current cultural humor, and popular songs on today's radio were played throughout the movie.

I am curious to know what age range this movie is aimed for. I felt it was an extensive plot for small children and there was a lot of flirting between the characters throughout the movie. But I'm not sure that ten-twelve year old kids are interested in a movie about guinea pigs. If it was aimed for small children I think it was definitely inappropriate.

"G-Force" was definitely too long. It was interesting and was full of good actors (people and voices) but I just didn't like it. It didn't do it for me. Something about it bothered me. Maybe it was that I didn't feel it was good for children. I think it was stuck between appealing to children and appealing to adults taking their children to the movies and just couldn't find its place.

Tiana is not your typical princess. She works two jobs and has realistic goals and dreams. She sings songs with lyrics like, "The only way to get what you want in this world is through hard work." And, "I worked hard for everything I got and that's the way it's supposed to be. If you do your best each and everyday good things are sure to come your way."

The Princess and the Frog is just a cartoon but the characters are strongly developed. They all have defined personalities, which is impressive.

"The Princess and the Frog" reminded me of a mixture between "The Swan Princess" and "Cinderella".

Though the songs in "The Princess and the Frog" relayed positive messages, they weren't at all catchy. I couldn't wait for the characters to stop singing.

Though I was not a fan of the songs, I did love this movie. It was adorable and a refreshing change from the typical Disney movies. Everyone made a big deal that the princess is black and the movie takes place in New Orleans. I like the diversity and feel this will open us up to more diverse characters in the future. I also greatly appreciated the positive messages throughout the movie. Hopefully it actually makes an impact on kids.
