Frozen time and turtles that can beat your ass

The Martian Child - John Cusack does the whole confused / troubled normal guy better than anyone around. One question remains. Can he act without his sister in the same movie?

Meet the Robinsons - Fun cartoon based on what looks like a cool kids book. The Tyrannosaurus who can't get the kid and starts whining is just as funny as it was on the trailers. Good stuff.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - I was at the tail end of the age group for the first movie, but still love it. This movie was good eye candy, if for no other reason than to see where CGI stuff stands. Also, ninja turtles.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story - Kind of crappy. A bit self-indulgent and not all that great. Tim Meadows is priceless in his scenes, though.

Cashback - Really cool little movie about a grocery store stockboy who can freeze time. Outstanding "what if" premise. Based on an Oscar-winning short film, so the full length seems a little stretched, but still good.
