The first movie I saw, to kick off the start of summer was, Journey to The Center of the Earth 3D. It was actually pretty good. I mean, I wouldn't go running out to buy the movie, but it was entertaining for kids. If your a fan of The Goonies, then you'd like this, because that's what it kind of reminded me of. The main character, Brendon Fraser, is a pretty good actor. Though he's getting old, he's kind of cute in a weird sort of way. The last movie I saw him in was Encino Man (1992) and that's movies freakin hilarious, from Brendon's "younger" acting days. So I have to give him credit for that.
The next movie I saw was Hancock, which was a total bust. I was truly disappointing in Will Smith's performance. This was probably the first movie I haven't enjoyed that he was in. Although, I do admit the ending was unexpected, but I don't want to spoil it for you.
The Dark Knight was certainly no disappointment. I had high expectations when I went to go see this movies, since it was the one movie critics were raving about. I was very pleased the whole time watching it and I wanted to see more when it was over. Christian Bale is a so-so actor, but this movie would have been nothing without Heath Ledger. He did an outstanding job playing the joker, and I have to say it was probably his best acting job ever. Even my dad was extremely impressed, and it takes a lot to impress him. Seeing Heath do such a great job makes me truly sad that he passed away, because now i realize how much talent and potential he had. I also always had a secret crush on him and I will not lie, I cried when he died. :( And also, they can't make a squeal to this movie now, which totally sucks.
Mamma Mia!, was easily the best musical I've ever seen. It even tops Hairspray (with heart-throb Zac Efron). The scenery was absolutely gorgeous and dreamy. I never realized what a great actress Amanda Siefred is, because the only other movie I've ever seen her in was her dumb blonde performance as Karen in Mean Girls. The music was fun and catchy, but not overdone like in the movie Dream Girls where it seems like the don't even talk normally, they just sing the whole time. It was also so exciting and kept you on the edge of your seat the whole time. It made me want to just jump up and start dancing right in the middle of the movie theatre. And who is that hot actor who was Amanda Seifreid's fiance Sky in the movie? Dominic Cooper. He's was so dreamy to watch, I wish I was the one marrying him. I especially enjoyed the seductive scene of him and Sophie on the beach in their bathing suits.
I'd have to say, the was one of Meryl Streep's best performances yet as a youthful looking, middle-aged mother. She looks alot younger compared to the last time I saw her in The Devil Wear Prada. Her two crazy freinds played by Julie Walters & Christine Baranski kept me laughing the whole entire time. And I thought that Christine looked familiar, probably because she's Martha May Who from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. This is a great movie to take your mother or your daughter for some mother daughter bonding. Oh and by the way, Peirce Brosnan better sitck to James Bond because he can't sing worth crap.
The last movie I saw was Step Brothers.
I got dragged there with my brothers and a bunch of guys and I didn't know what I was getting myself into. It was so stupid and ridiculous, I just don't find that stuff funny. I don't know, I guess some people have a weird sense of humor and consider watching Will Farrell rub his hairy ball sack on a drum set funny, but I call it disturbing. Everyone else seemed to be laughing up a storm, while I sat there thinking "Why did I come to this?". It seems Will Farrell has a knack for making stupid, pointless movies, because the last movie I saw him in, Semi-Pro was also stupid and pointless. It's like they're trying too hard to make you laugh. Probably the funniest line of the whole movie was, "Your voice sound like a combination of Fergie and Jesus." That was the only memorable quote of the movie to me. Movies like these seem to appeal only to teenage boys ages 14-25. Anyone else who gets dragged to this crap and has to sit through it, I feel sorry for you.
Well, there you have it. Those are the movies I have seen so far, and I'm pretty pumped because there looks like alot of great movies are coming out this month. I'm especially excited to see The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, which comes out tomorrow. I've been waiting for this movie to come out for years, since I was a big fan of the first one and I read all the books. I also can't wait to see The House Bunny, with Anna Faris. It's looks so cute and like such a chick flick (which I love!). And I'm so happy to see Anna Faris on the big screen again, because she was one of my favorite actresses in Hot Chick, but then we didn't seem to see much more of her after that (except for in Scary Movie 1,2,3 and 4 of course). Another movie that looks pretty good, that I just saw a preview for today is The Rocker, the story of a failed drummer who is given a second chance at fame when he joins his nephew's rock band. It has Teddy Geiger in it, who is absolutely goregeous and I've never seen him act before, so that should be interesting.
Tell me what you think on this seasons New Releases, and I'll keep you posted if I go to see any more movies!!
