Below are my movies of the week:
August 18
Dawn of the Dead (2004) (Directed by Zach
Snyder) Not really the best thing to watch during breakfast after you don't get
much sleep. I am not a big fan of horror movies but this one isn't bad. I like
the actors in it.
The Princess Bride (Directed by Rob Reiner) I don't
know anyone that doesn't like this movie. It is a fun story and full of quotable
moments. I like that the movie is told as if it was a book being read. Now if
Hollywood could figure out a way to make a movie that follows its original
source more closely.

Caddyshack II (Directed by Allan Arkush) Stupid me
for watching this. I got home late and decided to watch this while I was making
dinner. I had forgotten how bad it was. I will make a mental note to never
watch this movie again.

The Expendables 2 (Directed by Simon West) There
is never a wrong time to enjoy a movie with lots of explosions and cheesy one
liners. Can The Expendables 3 get released immediately please?
August

Bronson (Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn) I don't
get the love people have for this movie. I thought Tom Hardy did great,
especially on stage playing multiple parts. The story however lost me in
multiple parts. I was really looking forward to finally watching this movie
too. Maybe I should revisit it at a later date to see if my opinion of it
changes.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black
Pearl
(Directed by Gore Verbinski) Lately I have been playing the Pirates of the
Caribbean Lego game on my PS3 and while playing through the first movie on the
game I realized I didn't remember much about the movie itself. Ten years later
and this movie still holds up. The story and characters are very strong all the
way through. Though the sequels went downhill more and more with each release
this movie can still stand on its own without much trouble at all.

Coyote Ugly (Directed by David McNally) I forgot
that there is an actual storyline for this movie. I thought it was jsut about
cute girls dancing on bars to the jukebox. Thankfully it isn't much of a storyline
otherwise it would ruin the movie.
Back to the Future Part II (Directed by Robert
Zemeckis) Still fun to watch all these years later. I made sure to take note
that the movie takes place in 2015 and not 2012, 2013 or whenever someone tries
to create a fake meme about the date. I've always wondered if the Sports
Almanac held all the sports scores for the previous century why was it so
small? The print had to be really really tiny to fit it all in.
Tommy Boy (Directed by Peter Segal) I really
think that if he didn't die Chris Farley would still be in Adam Sandler's
movies in place of Kevin James. I like Kevin James a lot but there was always
something about Farley that made it hard not to enjoy whenever he was on the
screen.
Multiplicity (Directed by Harold Ramis) I'd say this
filled my weekly Michael Keaton quota quite well. Keaton delivers four solid
performances all as a different version of himself. I had forgotten about this
movie when I asked about the merits of Michael Keaton. I’m glad some friends
reminded me because it is a very funny movie.
