I, Robot

In a world in the near-future, robots are common. These robots protect humans, serve us, and are completely devoted. Nothing could go wrong, and everyone knows that. Except for Detective Spooner (Will Smith). Spooner doesn't believe that robots are as nice or benign as the media would believe, and he is determined to prove it when the top robot designer and inventor "commits suicide" in the company of Sonny, the only robot with seemingly human intelligence. Sonny can even dream. With a shipment of a new model coming out into the public, Spooner does everything he can to prove he's right about the murderous robot.

I'm going to come out and say it: I love this movie. It is a typical action movie in some respects, but in others, it shows creativity. Smith plays the strong, handsome rebel desperate to prove what he knows is right. Sonny is the villian who is just plain misunderstood, or cunning and evil. There isn't the typical blonde bombshell in this film, but rather a plain but brilliant doctor, Calvin, played by Bridget Moynahan, which is very refreshing. Once the movie is over, the viewer will realize how unique it is. However, don't be tricked. There is no mention of Apple products in this movie.

Rated PG-13

Hitch

Love is a complicated thing, and some men just don't get it. That's where Hitch (Will Smith) comes in. He is a love coach, the "date doctor." Hitch understands women, but he is up against the two greatest challenges of his career. An overweight and slightly dorky accountant (Kevin James) has hired Hitch to hook him up with a famous heiress. However, Hitch may be living too much of his own advice and be falling in love with a beautiful, yet realistic, gossip columnist (Eva Mendes). In the end, he might not know as much about women as he thought he did.

Honestly, this is one of my favorite chick flicks. All of the characters seem real, and of course Will Smith puts forward a great performance. Even my dad enjoyed it! It has a great message: stay true to yourself, and you might just find happiness. This is the type of movie you can watch over and over again; trust me, I have it on my iPod. This movie will make you laugh, as well. A fun movie overall for most occasions, I recommend it!
