This week included one of the original members of the Walking Dead club. Long Live Bernie!
Below are my movies of the week:
August 10
The
Long Kiss Goodnight (Directed by Renny Harlin) This was a pretty good
action thriller. It felt a bit low budget but then it added in some crazy over
the top explosions late in the movie.
Muppets
Most Wanted (Directed by James Bobin) I really wanted to like this movie. I
liked the last Muppets movie but this one didn't bring anything new or
exciting. I was bummed because I usually really like Tina and Ricky.
Harry
Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Directed by Chris Columbus) I remember
buying this movie on DVD after it first came out and that is how I learned
about Harry Potter. At that point I didn't know it was a book series. Since
then I have read all of the books a couple times and enjoyed the adventures
they took me on. Columbus did a very good job of taking the book and putting it
up on screen.
August 11
Primal
Fear (Directed by Gregory Hoblit) This was my introduction to Ed Norton and
boy did it make an impact. Both of his split personality characters were unique
in their own way and I liked that his transition between the two of them were
so smooth.
August 12
Race
to Witch Mountain (Directed by Andy Fickman) What can I say, if the Rock is
starring in a movie then I am going to watch it. This remake was not one I
thought to be high on the priority list, but it was still fun.
August 13
The
Fisher King (Directed by Terry Gilliam) My friend John posted a quote from
this movie after Robin Williams died and within a few minutes I came across it
on Netflix. Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges were a great team in this movie
August 14
Weekend
at Bernie's (Directed by Ted Kotcheff) One more movie to add to the crazy
characters from the 80's list. You would think this was a one and done movie
but nope, they even made a sequel.
August 15
Enemy
of the State (Directed by Tony Scott) I have lost count on how many times I
have watched this movie. Yet every time I watch it I feel like I am watching it
for the first time, I get that in to it.
August 16
The
Substitute 4: Failure Is Not an Option (Directed by Robert Radler) It took
less than two minutes to laugh at the toy-like gun bending when someone jumps
and hits the gun hard. The Substitute series has officially hit the bottom.
The
Expendables 3 (Directed by Patrick Hughes) Watching this movie I got the
feeling that they cut a lot of what was originally shot. I know they had to
make it PG-13 but there were still a lot of plot holes. Mel Gibson was the best
villain of the trilogy though.
Locke
(Directed by Steven Knight) You know you are a fan of an actor when you will
watch him drive a car for 90 minutes by himself while he makes phone calls. You
know a movie is good when after said 90 minutes you want to watch more.
