No movie weekend

I was dogsitting and unable to go see anything this weekend :(

I plan to remedy that this week. I may see Karate Kid Tuesday. Thursday will be Eclipse with my newest friend Tracy. Luckily we're going to one of my fave restaurants after. Then Saturday will be The Last Airbender. I have high hopes for that one because my hopes are that M. Night starts making really good movies again.

Thank you, Pixar!

They knocked it out of the park once again with Toy Story 3. A great movie from beginning to end. I really wanted Jonah Hex to be good but I've heard nothing but bad reviews. This weekend I'm not sure what I'm going to see. I'll have to think about that.

No no no!!!

Hollywood types: KNOCK IT OFF. You don't need to remake 80s or early 90s movies. Even ones that weren't, you know, truly great the first time around. They're re-doing Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead. Ugh. Leave Swell and her siblings alone!!! Where else can you see David Duchovny looking like a slimy 90s douche?

I'm melting!

It is too dang hot out already. This is unnatural. The good news is there are places to hide out if you don't have a/c at home (scary thought if you're a resident of any of the southern states). You could go to the mall, a library, or a MOVIE THEATER! Yes for 3 measly dollars any resident in and around S'ville can catch some entertainment whilst cooling off.

This brings me to my recent reviews. I saw Splice last week and man was that an interesting movie. It's been categorized as a horror movie but that's misleading. There is some bloody action but that wasn't the scary part. The scary part was the uh, action before the action. I don't want to discuss it really but the relationship aspects of the movie have stayed with me since last Wednesday and not many movies do that. I will say that Freud would have had a field day with this movie.

Something that didn't make me think at all was the movie I saw Saturday...The A-Team. It was a lot of fun. Lots of laughs, action, big explosions and shots of B. Coop looking hot. It was a very satisfying summer movie.

I wanted to see Karate Kid but didn't end up making it. I probably will this weekend if I'm not burned out after Toy Story 3 and Jonah Hex. YAY!!! Ok, so except for the unbearable heat and humidity...I love summer!

Summer movies can be good for the soul

I'm a bit behind in my reviews.  Shrek 4 was ok.  Not terribly funny but not terribly terrible either.  It lacked some of the, I dunno, charm or wit or something from the first one.  Glad I went to the cheap theater for this one.

This past weekend I got to see Prince of Persia.  It's getting mixed reviews but I really enjoyed it.  Ok, so Jake's hair is a bit distracting but it didn't take away from my overall feelings for the movie.  It was a fun, actiony summer movie.  I would go see it again and am thrilled that I saw it in nicer, more expensive theater.  There were some big sweeping shots of Morocco, etc. that looked great on the big screen.  The English accents were kind of annoying considering everyone was supposed to be in PERSIA but it was better than Jake doing American and everyone else doing their native British.  I have no interest in Sex and the City 2: Why are we still wearing these high heels when we're old enough for orthopedic type shoes now?

Next up is...Dang, this is one of those weekends.  Uh, my choices are Killers with stupid Katherine Heigl, Get Him to the Greek (probably too dirty for my delicate sensibilities), Marmaduke (love Lee Pace but don't love talking dog movies!), and Splice (which could be cool but probably won't be playing anywhere near me). What do I do?
