Below are my movies of
the week:
April 28
Jurassic
Park (Directed by Steven
Spielberg) I didn't make it out to see this in 3D but I wanted to make sure to
watch it again. I still remember the first time I saw this movie and how much
it scared the crap out of me. 20 years later I am not scared watching it
anymore but I still enjoy seeing one of Spielberg's best movies.
Iron
Man 2 (Directed by Jon
Favreau) Not nearly as good as the first Iron Man. It suffered from too many
new characters and too many villains. It also felt a bit rushed in parts,
Justice
League: Doom (Directed by Lauren
Montgomery) Another strong showing from the minds at DC Comics and their
animated division. I know Warner Bros wants to do a live action Justice League
movie but I fear that it will never be as good as this animated movie was.
Die
Hard 2: Die Harder (Directed by Renny
Harlin) I started watching this with my parents when I went over to their place
for dinner and had to finish it once I got home. Some of the airport scenes
were filmed at the old Stapleton airport here in CO. They sure seemed to play
up the smoking in airports and on planes in this movie which I thought was
illegal in1990 when this movie was released.
April 29
Little
Big League (Directed by Andrew
Scheinman) Growing up I wanted to be a Major League Baseball player like a lot
of kids. If I couldn't be one I wanted to be a manager of a team similar to
Billy Heywood in this movie.
April 30
The
Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (Directed by Justin Lin) This didn't feel like the second
sequel to the Fast and the Furious series. It felt like a cheap Direct to Video
sequel made just to capitalize off the original. It even had the C & D list
celebrities starring in it to attract the younger demographic. I won't even go
in to the biggest continuity error with Han dying yet still being alive over
the next 3 movies.
May 2
The
Avengers (Directed by Joss
Whedon) In Joss We Trust! This movie set a new level of awesome when it comes
to comic book movies. Not one character/star was given more screen time. They
all shared the screen equally which amounted to an amazing movie that brought
together many of the top Marvel heroes. This was a great way to end Phase One
of Marvel movies.
May 3
Iron Man 3 (Directed by Shane Black) This is what Iron Man 2 should have
been. Shane Black did a great job with the character and the story. I have no
problem saying that this movie is right up there with Avengers in terms of
quality.
Major
Payne (Directed by Nick
Castle) I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!! Fun Damon Wayans comedy about a career military man
put in charge of a bunch of Junior ROTC members.
May 4
21
& Over (Directed by Jon
Lucas & Scott Moore) I didn't want to like this movie but it made me laugh
more than a few times. Not the greatest thing out there but a fun buddy comedy.
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (Directed by
George Lucas) I bought both trilogies on Blu-Ray last week and my dad and I
started from the original beginning of the series. I know people hate of George
Lucas for what he changed in the films but it is still fun to watch and the
transfer to Blu-Ray looks amazing.
Green
Lantern: First Flight (Directed by Lauren
Montgomery) I am really loving the DC animated films. This was the Green
Lantern origin story and told so much better than in the Ryan Reynolds version.
