Summer Movie Reviews

written on June 12, 2009 in Reviews

Ever since getting together with the boyfriend, I feel like I’ve seen more movies in 2 months than I have all of last year. As a matter of fact, I’ve seen so many that it wouldn’t be right unless I write a review about them.  And since I no longer have the star rating plugin, I will rate them using smiley faces. Yay.

The Hangover –
Just saw this last night, and it was fucking hilarious. Yes, so hilarious it required the need to cuss. Sorry kids, but this movie isn’t for you anyways. Back on topic: if you don’t mind seeing naked guys (and I’m talking um-I-see-his-ding-dongs naked) and you like crude humor (still humor, and pretty good stuff too), then go see this one. You won’t regret it.

UP –
Some people cried, a lot of people laughed, but all agree that this is a good movie. Classic Disney/Pixar film (think Wall-e and Finding Nemo), but a few complained about the non-kid-friendly theme in the film, aka death. I mean, it wasn’t anything gruesome or depressing, or at least I didn’t think so. For someone who cries easily, I didn’t get watery eyes at all during the film. I did laugh though, a LOT. Good stuff.

Star Trek –
I hate the tv series, I hate sci-fi, but damn, this was a good movie. Maybe because I found the actor who played James Kirk extremely attractive? Who knows. But I know it was good because my friend, who hates sci-fi/action/technology things more than I do, thought it was good. I used in the ratings because it was such an epic film. Ha. But seriously, it was epic.

Angels & Demons –
If you’re into religion, mystery, with a bit of action, this is your film. It was pretty good, a lot better than The Da Vinci Code I thought. But then again, I never read the book for this film, so maybe that’s why? Either way, it was good enough to picque my interest in the book, and you can never go wrong with Tom Hanks. Except for The Da Vinci Code. Go read the book for that instead.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop –
Oh my God, kill me. Watching this on DVD was the most unproductive and worthless 90 minutes of my life. That’s how bad this movie was. It wasn’t funny at all. As a matter of fact, it was kind of pathetic actually, like I felt sorry for the guy. But then I’m reminded of the fact that while he’s raking in loads of money for a bad film, I’m stuck watching this crap wanting to kill myself, and I began to feel sorry for myself.Error processing request
