Dwarfs, Aliens, and Hair Bands

Rock of Ages:
Go see it! Go see it! Go see it! Oh my goodness, I loved this movie!  It had the perfect amount of insane humor, crazy 80s costumes, and some great musical numbers.  It had a long play time, however, it's a Broadway show, so you have to consider that it would traditionally have an intermission.  If you enjoyed hairspray, you'll like this one too (as long as you don't mind some adult subject matter and basically every song from guitar hero).

Snow White and the Huntsman:
The thought of watching a Kristen Stewart movie may initially make you cringe, but just wait.  This movie had such amazing special effects, great co-stars (Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron), and was quite an interesting take on the classic Snow White story.  Stewart did a great job in my opinion, as her harsh facial expressions actually made sense in this role.  I enjoyed its action, music, and visual appeal.  I would absolutely recommend this movie!  

Prometheus:
I wish I could unsee this movie, to be quite honest.  I loved the characters, I loved the setting, I loved the casting, but I hated the story.  I watched the original Alien movie after watching this, just hoping to find a little closure, but none was found.  If you are big into sci-fi, you might love it, but if you aren't, don't waste your time!
