Below are my movies of the week:

30
Night at the Museum (Directed by Shawn
Levy) This is one of my favorite Ben Stiller movies. It has a creative
storyline about how everything comes alive in the museum at night. The subplot
about a few guys trying to steal the source of the power was okay but I would
have enjoyed seeing a few hours of them focusing on the different museum
sections coming to life. Ben Stiller does have some cheesy moments but it works
in this film.
Lethal Weapon 3 (Directed by Richard Donner) My
Lethal Weapon watching has come to an end. While part 3 is my least favorite of
the series it is still a fun movie. The comedy and action were there but the
main storyline was a bit boring for the Lethal Weapon series.
The Girl Next Door (Directed by Luke Greenfield) No
matter what people say about Kim Bauer's character on 24, I still had a major
crush on Elisha Cuthbert back when this movie came out. I laugh every time I
watch this movie but not because of Elisha or leading man Emile Hirsch, The
funny comes from the supporting cast mainly Chris Marquette and Timothy
Olyphant.

1
The Purge (Directed by James DeMonaco) I started
watching this with my girlfriend one night but we had to stop because the movie
is very disturbing. I decided to finish watching it a few days later and I have
to say the second half is just as disturbing. I am not sure if so many people
liked this movie because they know it will never happen but during the opening
credits as they are showing security camera footage I got a bad feeling in my
stomach as soon as I saw Westminster Colorado show up as one of the videos.
That clip hit a little too close to home for me.

2
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (Directed by Shawn
Levy) This sequel is not nearly as fun as the original. A lot of the jokes are
similar to the original. I like the history facts discussed throughout it but
it doesn't make up for overall lame storyline. Also, Amy Adams looks nothing
like 9News traffic reporter Amelia Earhart. I'm pretty sure only Colorado
residents will understand that comment.

5
Executive Decision (Directed by Stuart Baird) This
is another movie that I remember watching with my dad numerous times while I
was growing up. I was not a big fan of it early on but I grew to enjoy this
terrorist hijack film more and more as I watched it with my dad. The movie
features a pretty good list of Hollywood stars that were just coming up the
ranks when this film was released.
30
Little Big Men (Directed by Al Szymanski) This ESPN 30 for 30 documentary has
been sitting in my Netflix queue for months now and I finally came across it
again and decided to watch it. I was a newborn when the events featured in this
film so I don't remember any of it. It is a very interesting look at a Little
League team from Washington that shocked the Baseball world with their upset
victory in the World Series. The film also looks at how fame can put pressure
on a star athlete to perform even better while also making them a target for
unwanted comments and threats.
