Below are my movies of
the week:
April 14
Can't
Hardly Wait (Directed by Harry
Elfont & Deborah Kaplan) I DVR'd this a couple weeks ago and decided to
watch it Sunday at 4am when I couldn't sleep. This movie was a lot of fun when
I first saw it but now looking back it feels like they were going for a present
day Dazed and Confused.
War
of the Worlds (Directed by Steven
Spielberg) Two things really bug me about this Spielberg Sci-Fi film. How does
a video camera work when an EMP has gone off and everything else electric no
longer works? How after he goes over the hill to join the fight are we to
believe that Tom Cruise's son survives the complete destruction of everyone
fighting without a single scratch and still makes it to Boston before the
others.
April 16
The
Expendables (Directed by
Sylvester Stallone) Sly and his group of Mercenaries blow lots of stuff up with
over the top gunfire and explosions.
April 17
The
Fast and the Furious (Directed by Rob
Cohen) The movie that started the still going series. Yes it is cheesy and
ridiculous but I still enjoy it.
April 18
Cars (Directed by John Lasseter & Joe Ranft) I
like this Pixar animated film and still enjoy watching it. Similar premise to
other movies but the talking car aspect adds a nice twist to it.
April 19
Jack
Reacher (Directed by
Christopher McQuarrie) I have one minor problem with this movie. When Reacher
walks in to a bar early in the movie he is taller than just about everyone else
in there. When is Tom Cruise ever taller than more than 2 people in a crowded
room? Other than that, this was an awesome movie.
April 20
Death
of a Superhero (Directed by Ian
FitzGibbon) Very good movie about a kid with Terminal Cancer who has a very
creative mind when it comes to drawing superheroes. Andy Serkis was great as
the kids therapist.
Monsters (Directed by Gareth Edwards) Very good low
budget Sci-Fi film about what happens after an alien invasion. The director is
now working on the new Godzilla remake based off the original Japanese version.
The
Raid: Redemption (Directed by Gareth
Evans) This crazy ultraviolent foreign action film claim highly recommended by
more than a few people and they didn't steer me wrong.
Safety
Not Guaranteed (Directed by Colin
Trevorrow) I watched this mainly to see if it was as bad as a friend made it
out to be. I didn't mind it and thought it was good overall.
