Three movie reviews!

So I now have all the movie channels on my cable, so you get to hear my reviews of newer movies. Two terrible movies, and one good movie.

The Chipmunks: Chipwrecked.
Pretty bad. Constant bursting into song without the previous scenario of the chipmunks performing for an audience. It's like they have tourettes but their verbal tic is singing. The entire concept is retarded. The chipmunks get lifted away from a cruise ship on a kite, then Dave & Ian get lifted away on a hand-glider.
Then for some unexplained reason the cruise ship doesn't follow normal nautical procedure for a man overboard. They make it to an island, meet a crazy person, and sing some more. I actually enjoyed the first two chipmunk movies, this one was garbage.

Breaking Dawn Part 1
I have no idea why I watched this. I think I vaguely wanted to see Bella finally as a vampire. But apparently that's in part 2. Part one was just awful. The acting was terrible, the plot was pointless, and everything wrapped itself nicely in a bow for no apparent reason. I regret watching this movie.

Rock of Ages
I really enjoyed this movie. It's a rock & roll musical using all the classic rock anthems from the 80's. The two leads were excellent no-name actors. Great singers and great performances. The Big name stars (Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand, etc) were all great. I actually watched this twice over two days, hell, I'll probably watch it again tomorrow. If you are a fan of musicals, I greatly recommend this one. Alot of movie musicals kinda fall on their face (Looking at you Les Miserable) but this one actually did well. And it's not just a re-hashed version of a broadway production like most of the other successful ones. In the last five years I can only name two movies that did well as original musicals. This movie and The Muppets. Ironically, both movies used the song "We built this city".
So yeah, if you love musicals, watch this movie. If you don't, you should probably skip it.
