G.I. Joe

Saw G.I. Joe it had nice special effects. The story was a bit weak and has plenty of cliches. It is ok movie.

The Ugly Truth

Saw "The Ugly Truth". It is nice and predictable romantic comedy. Although I do not agree with all of the main character observations I agree that you should be loved who you are and not for whatever or whoever you are trying to be.

Bruno

Watched "Bruno", it had some laughs in it, but was an overall disappointment.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" was more of the same and quite enjoyable. If you liked the previous one you should like this one too. My only complaint is that it felt a bit too long.

Up

Wow Pixar outdid themselves again with "Up". It tells a pretty simple, quite charming and human story. Told with mastery and tons of imagination. It is amazing adventure for everybody. I really liked the movie.

Spook Country

Another book that I read recently was "Spook Country" by William Gibson. It is loosely tied sequel of "Pattern Recognition". Hollis Henry (former member of a cult band called The Curfew, now journalist) is hired by Blue Ant of Hubertus Bigend to find a mysterious container. The story is composed of several a bit disjointed stories that are brought together at the end.

Zoe's Story

"Zoe's Tale" is quite interesting done retelling of the events from a previous Scalzi book the "The Last Colony". It is done quite intelligently without introducing too much overlap between the stories. I liked the exploration of the connection between Obin and Zoe.
