Another steady week of movies. Getting very close to the three hundred mark for the year.
Below are my movies of the week:
June 8
The Big Hit (Directed Kirk Wong) Should
this movie be taken serious or is it more a parody on assassin type movies? It
has its ups and its downs for sure and more than a couple "WTF"
moments.
Assault on Precinct 13 (Directed Jean-François
Richet) This movie is more than a little unbelievable but it was still
enjoyable to watch. Ethan Hawke was actually tolerable in it.
700 Sundays (Directed Des McAnuff) I
really enjoyed this comedy special from Billy Crystal. 700 Sundays was the
amount of Sundays he had with his dad before he passed away. I can't imagine
only having that many Sundays with my dad, he is one of the most important
people in my life.
June 9
Three Men and a Baby (Directed Leonard
Nimoy) The 80's sure had a lot of goofy ideas for movies. If someone left a
baby on the doorstep of someone today and just bolted it wouldn't end up as
happily ever after as this movie.
June 10
Non-Stop (Directed Jaume Collet-Serra) Taken
on a Plane was much better than Taken 2. There was some nice twists in the
movie. I just hope that this doesn't spawn a sequel.
June 11
Wayne's World (Directed Penelope
Spheeris) This is still the best Saturday Night Live related movie that has
been released. Of course, the same can't be said for the sequel.
June 12
Eddie (Directed Steve Rash) Every
sports fan thinks that they would be a better coach for their favorite team.
This goofy comedy puts that to the test. The cameo by Dennis Rodman was one of
my favorite parts.
June 13
Not Another Teen Movie (Directed Joel
Gallen) The title says it all, this parody movie covers the majority of teen
movies from the late 90's and early 00's. This movie was actually better than
some of the movies it parodied.
Edge of Tomorrow (Directed Doug Liman) This
Tom Cruise Sci-Fi movies is one of my favorites of the summer. It had a very
interesting story and the characters were easy to get attached to.
June 14
The Neverending Story (Directed Wolfgang
Petersen) I have not watched this movie in almost 20 years. I am a bit
surprised I was able to get through it back then. It gets pretty intense in
some parts.
Step Up 3 (Directed Jon M. Chu) Not
sure what the plot of this movie was about but I did watch the whole thing. The
dance scenes are what makes these movies at least watchable.
The Art of the Steal (Directed Jonathan
Sobol) This movie reminds me of Ocean's Eleven
and Now You See Me. A crime caper
with a good amount of misdirection thrown in, plus some cool magic.
