Big Robots Doing Stuff
I like to think the “Transformers” trilogy exists for the sole purpose of landing the underappreciated Turturro a huge payday. In a strange way helps me sleep a little better at night.
Fun For All Ages
After striking gold — in both box-office and artistic terms — with “Toy Story 3,” the wonderful folks at Pixar Animation continue their sequel streak with “Cars 2.” Alas, it’s no “Toy Story 3.” Really, what could be?

The “X-Men” movie franchise had turned into a bit of a mess. So just when it seemed it was time to write off this franchise, along comes a prequel, “X-Men: First Class,” that injects new life into the series.
A 3-D Performance
Jim Goza, who recently played Iago in the University of Arkansas’ production of “Othello,” is definitely being talked about.
