21 Jump Street
This was one of the most hilarious movies I've seen lately. It is a quality film because of its nearly-satyric humor, parodies, and how it addresses the stereotypes it uses. 21 Jump Street is better than most teen-comedies in the sense that it is non-traditional and has a more genuine feel than most, which is ironic because the leads, Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, play two cops who are pretending to be high-schoolers in order to break-up an illegal drug-ring.
This film really proves an increase in the ability of Hill's acting (along with his more serious recent role in Money Ball). If you think that means that there won't be the token hilarious intoxication scene, you are wrong, 21 Jump Street doesn't disappoint.
Also, Channing Tatum is not just a guy that can take his shirt off in movies for a good rating. His comedic abilities were truly impressive. If I could tell you to see this movie for one reason, it would be to see Tatum's comedy for yourself!
This movie also really rocks because: a) the love interest doesn't look like a barbie, she's sweet and deep, b) there is a genuine portrayal of a change of time, high schools have changed (when you go back to highschool, the unexpected WILL happen), and c) there is a very awesome celebrity appearance at the end that really makes the whole movie worth while.

I don't have too much to say about this film, other than don't read reviews of it before you go. I did, and it really spoiled how beautiful the costumes, special effects, make-up, etc. were. It is gorgeous, if you don't like fairytales, don't go see it, if you do, watch it and love it (no thanks to Roger Ebert)!
The Titanic in 3D
This movie is amazing, no matter whether it's on a giant screen in 3D or if you're watching it on cable interrupted by a billion commercials. It is one of the best movies ever made, in my opinion, especially if you feel emotion and aren't some weird robot, no offense. The acting is phenomenal, the cinematography is awe-inspiring, the music is perfection...be still my beating heart.
Here's my verdict of this recent release: It's beautiful that a whole new generation gets to see it on the big screen, but it really doesn't need to be in 3D (because it wasn't shot in 3D originally, the effects aren't all that impressive). The biggest improvement I've heard of is that they adjusted the appearance of the night sky to be an exact replica of how the stars looked that night on The Titanic in the North Atlantic.
It's beautiful and it always will be.
