or
I cant believe I didnt see the whole thing or
my wife and mom are right I never follow through on anything !!
39. Toy Story 3 - Memo to Disney- My kids will already need lots of therapy just having me as a parent, why do you need to traumatize them as well. Poor Felix was scared out of his seat, literally. Half the little kids are crying in the theater with all that craziness. Why? I will never understand the Disney formula, I cant believe Andy wasnt forced to be an orphan. Any way I liked it, and so did the adults in the theater. The best part by far was hearing all the Spanish speaking kids and parents when Buzz was in the Antonio Banderas mode! They were hysterical and the other kids wanted to laugh, but didn't know why. Overall it was good, but I wonder, do I just see video game for a story because games have become great stories or was this a story made to be a great video game/ ride? Overall I give it 3 out of 4 toy stories.
38. The Invention of Lying - This was a pretty good movie!! I loved the whole premise, but wasnt expecting very much. However, the first act was awesome , second act pretty good the third act... well it was Hollywood. Still I laughed a bunch, chuckled a lot. At the end I felt happy and that was what I was looking for.
37. Extract- Love Jason Batemen period. I can hardly remember much about it. I t was ok and Jason can make most movies good... well not Couples Retreat. I guess 5 out of 9 bottles of extract
36. Quantum of Solace- The James Bond movies are just crazy good right now! Daniel Craig is a bad mother. He is fast and mean and brutal and classy and all the things you want from a real mad James Bond. The revenge spy the last two movies have created is fantastic!! Rumor is the franchise is on hold do to cost though, bummer!! I love it I give it 007 out of 007
35. Inception _ AWESOME!!! Take out the you know whats coming ending and the rest was GREAT!! I am a big Nolan fan, he knows how to tell a story in a way you have not seen a million times. The special effects were amazing and the sound was perfect! I think I had DiCaprio burn out this summer, especially since he played to guys that had simillar problems, but he was much better in this then Shutter Island. ven though I started getting confused at exactly what was going on at the end, it was still a goooood time. 4 out of 5 dreams in a dream.
34.The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo- With all the hype, it was a big let down!! I wanted it to be something that it just wasn't. Maybe I should have just read the book in the first place. It really was just a murder mystery. Been there seen that. 32 -34 make me think you shouldnt see 40 movies in one summer, you see how many movies are just a rehash of things you have seen already! 8 out of 12 tattoos
33. Green Zone- The Bore Identity. MY FIRST BLU RAY !!! To bad it was on a movie I have seen a million times. I am a fan of Matt, but not this movie. If you took away the Jason Bourne parts and the wantabe Hurt Locker cinematography it was just a tv movie. I dont feel like I was shocked at the whole premise. I just figured that is really how it went down. 4 out of 10 WMDs
32. Iron Man II - Robert really IS Tony Stark- I am not sure I know the difference anymore. It was a pretty perfect casting. Mickey was great and didnt talk to much, Scarlett is hot, yet..... It was a bit boring, not much reason to say wow!! It was good but just good. I give it 2 out of 3 somethings... fill in a word I have used before.
31. Let the Right One In - This is the smallest vampire movie I have ever seen. This is a film not a movie. The story was great. I am not a fan of Swedish acting, but it carried me. I like the vampire story idea of kids,and the teen angst issue. I did feel they missed a better ending showing the characters 50 years later, tying it to the start of the movie. I give it 9 out of 11 pints of blood.
30. Shutter Island.- This was another movie I have seen before in different versions. You knew what was going to happen hours before it did. ..and yes this movie was long enough that I can say that. I was a bit shocked at this being kinda boring. The only surprise at the end was why wasn't it better? 3 out of 6 lobotomies.
29. The Brothers Grim- I tried to love this movie, but it just wouldn't happen. I was so bored, I feel asleep 3 times trying to get through it, in the end... I have no idea what happened. I couldn't finish. Even with Sara Connor in it. I dont know why this movie felt soooo olde. 2 out of 6 tales
28. Deception- This is the worst movie I saw this summer, that was not supposed to be. You already know going into THE GOODS that it will most likely be terrible. But this movie has Hugh Jackman, Ewan McGregor, and Michelle Williams and they should be ashamed. The director and editor and writer, should never be trusted with a movie again. The pacing of this movie was soooo bad, I could barely stand it. I have seen this movie 30 times with different names and this might be the worst version, of this OLD tale. I give it 0 out of 20 million dollars.
27. Youth In Revolt- Think SuperBad meets fight club- Is Michael Cera one of THE best comic actors of this generation?!?! If I was in high school, this would be the movie I would watch over and over and quote and worship. If he is an as$$ in real life, I dont want to know. I think he is one of the coolest guys in movies!! The dialogue is smart and funny, and the performances are so oddball that they are perfect. The only problem I had was they had a perfect "Breathless ending that would have made this a FILM. What a missed opportunity!! 12 out of 13 alter ego's in a mustache!!
26. The Road - Looking for a feel good summer movie?? This is not it But WOW !!! Not as good as one of the best books for a father even!! but it was pretty good. The film didnt rely on CGI either, most of the footage was from disasters like Katrina, and Mt. ST Helens. The best part though was the next morning Fletch asked if he could snuggle with me in bed.Even though it was 5am it was awesome!! 6 out of 7 tears.
25. The Day The Earth Stood Still- Ok why would I see this movie, well after hearing about my summer goal, my professor, jumped in and said " You have to see this movie!! It is awesome!!" WOW!! Really!! I did not see it that way. Could it be that Keanu's best movie was Bill and Ted? Would the Matrix have been that much better without him? Well all I know is I dont really have much more to say about this movie. (yeah I know I didnt say much about it in the first place) 2 out of 12 robot alien invasions.
24. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - This was a pretty funny movie, lots of parent jokes, which I always appreciate. The kids were a bit scared when things went crazy, but they made it. I really liked the characters too. 8 out of 10 foods.
23. The Goods - I cant believe I believed in Piven enough to watch this dud!! So many great character actors and it still stunk. The doc that this is based on was 10 times the movie this was, and it had no stars. Of course Will Ferrell still rocks in his 5 minutes of screen time. 1 out of 9 cars
