Three hundred mark is now behind me.
Below are my movies of the week:
June 15
The
Jewel of the Nile (Directed by Lewis Teague) This sequel to Romancing the
Stone suffers the same way that a number of sequels do. The first movie worked
well so a sequel is created that doesn't have the same heart as the original.
Thor:
The Dark World (Directed by Alan Taylor) Before seeing the first Thor movie
I didn't know much about the comic book hero. That movie along with this sequel
has been a great way to learn about the mighty Asgardian.
The
Secret Life of Walter Mitty (Directed by Ben Stiller) This movie tells a
very exciting story with amazing visuals. I really wish I could have Walter's
cell phone coverage and battery life.
June 16
What
About Bob? (Directed by Frank Oz) I remember at one point I watched this
movie so many times that I got burnt out on it and didn't find it funny.
Thankfully after close to a decade of not watching it, I find it hilarious all
over again.
June 17
The
Recruit (Directed by Roger Donaldson) This is a fun spy thriller that keeps
you guessing about what side everyone is on; that is until it becomes totally
predictable.
June 18
Cop
and a Half (Directed by Henry Winkler) The fact that Burt goes to bed with
his Indians jersey tucked in to his sweats was too funny for me to focus on
much else. The movie is a step backward in the 'Buddy Cop' dynamic.
June 19
Rocky
IV (Directed by Sylvester Stallone) I have decided that Stallone filmed
this and the movie Cobra at the same time or very close together. His beard is
the same during the training montage as it was all through Cobra.
June 20
Never
Back Down (Directed by Jeff Wadlow) Finally decided to watch this movie
after yet another person shared a clip of it thinking that the video was from a
real fight. The clip circulating the internet looks to have been filmed from an
extra on set.
June 21
Ice
Age: Continental Drift (Directed by Steve Martino & Mike Thurmeier) The
last in the Ice Age series. I like the movies but there really isn't much that
makes each one stand out from the other.
Bob
Saget: That's What I'm Talkin' About (Directed by Jay Karas) I usually like
watching dirty Bob Saget perform but this special wasn't very funny to me. I
laughed a little bit but there weren't any bits that really got me going.
Now
You See Me (Directed by Louis Leterrier) I don't care what people say, I
really like this movie. It reminds me of Ocean's Eleven but with magic.
I also really like the cast that they put together in it.
