Below are my movies of the week:
May 19
Eight Below (Directed by Frank Marshall) Disney movies
based on true stories always sucker me in and Eight Below continues that trend.
The movie is based on an Antarctic research guide who has to flee Antarctica
due to a bad storm and leaves behind his sled dogs. Once back home his only
goal is to return to Antarctica to rescue his dogs.
Mission: Impossible III (Directed by J.J. Abrams) I
skipped watching MI2 because I watched it so many times when I worked at a
movie theater the summer it came out that I am bored by it now. J.J. did a
great job bringing life back in the series. It would have been nice if they
kept Keri's character longer, she would have made a great teammate.
Fast Five (Directed by Justin Lin) The best in the series
so far. The addition of the Rock was great and the storyline was enjoyable.
Looking forward to seeing part 6 in a few days.
May 20
Jurassic Park III (Directed by Joe Johnston) The
dinosaurs looked a lot better compared to Lost World but the story was still
lacking.
Team America: World Police (Directed by Trey Parker) Trey
Parker hit one out of the park with Team America. Who would have thought that a
movie made up entirely of marionette puppets would be so fun and funny.
The Sandlot (Directed by David M. Evans) Baseball +
Childhood Memories = GREAT RAINY DAY MOVIE! I lost count of how many times I
have seen this movie but I never get tired of it. It is one of the movies that
I can easily quote.
May 24
Fast & Furious 6 (Directed by Justin Lin) Fast Cars?
Check! Tons of Action? Check! Over the top story and characters? Double Check!
I don't care that people shit on these movies because I really enjoy them. They
have gotten better as the series goes on. To put it simply, it is a fun action
flick.
The Hangover Part II (Directed by Todd Phillips) I really
think Todd Phillips came up with the sequel while drunk and watching the first
Hangover movie. It was almost the same exact movie but with a different
location and a different missing friend. This felt more like a direct to video
sequel made 5 years later by some no name director.
May 25
Ladybugs (Directed by Sidney J. Furie) A friend mentioned
that his wife never saw this movie and it made me think I hadn't watched it in
a decade or so. The movie is beyond cheesy about a guy trying to climb the
corporate ladder that volunteers to coach a youth soccer team, but needs the
help of a star soccer player that he dresses up as a girl. The movie was shot
entirely here in Colorado which was fun to know growing up.
The Hangover Part III (Directed by Todd Phillips) A bit
more darker then the first two in the series but still funny nonetheless It was
still stupid in parts and Galifianakis was a bit much to handle at times but
overall it was a fun movie. Not as good as the original but leaps and bounds
ahead of Part II. It was a good wrap-up to the series and it didn't feel
rushed.
Superman: Unbound (Directed by James Tucker) The latest
addition to the DC Animated universe was good but not great. The storyline of
Brainiac stealing cities and then destroying planets was good but I was less
interested because of the animation itself. It looked like they brought in a
new group of people to do the animation because it didn't resemble the earlier
films.
