Summer Movies

(Movie Tuesdayers, let me know if I forgot any...)

*Get Him to the Greek Not bad.  Parts were really funny, others fell sort of flat.  I wish that the story was more congruent with Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which is where Aldous was introduced.

*The A-Team Actually, pretty darn good. Great action, just campy enough, good story, and by gosh they flew a tank!

*Toy Story 3 The third in the series of my favorite movie franchise.  Better than Toy Story 2.  The 3D wasn't all that necessary (other than for the superawesomecrazycreative short in the beginning).  Terribly creepy doll character who would have definitely given me nightmares if overtly and continually compared to the scary movie that it evoked.  Great story and the cast of toys were spot on.  I'll totally buy it.

*Killers Typical rom-com.  Katherine Heigl is always endearing and actually Ashton Kutcher wasn't stupid, which was a pleasant surprise.  And a good twist (one at least that wasn't in the previews).

*Knight and Day Pleasantly surprisingly entertaining.  I don't particularly like Tom Cruise, but he plays crazy so darn well.

*Cyrus  Painfully awkward.  John C. Reilly was very good.

The Last Airbender I wasn't able to make it to this movie, but the other Move Tuesdayers did and didn't stay long at all.  It was THAT BAD.  M. Night Shyamalan does not make good movies.  Let's all just stop leading him on.

*Inception Undoubtedly one of the best movies of the summer.  I don't have anything new or insightful to say about this movie, so just read one of the zillion of reviews that's already out there.

*Despicable Me We saw this directly following Inception, on a double feature catching up with movies night.  It was ok.  I was lead to believe it was about something more interesting.

*Salt Dear Angelina Jolie, you have cornered the market on female action stars.  I adore you when you kick ass.  Good action, entertaining, nice twists.  That's right, I said twists plural. 

*Dinner for Schmucks Very funny.  Awkward.  Funny. 

*Scott Pilgrim vs The World Another cute, clever Michael Cera movie.  He nearly broke his every-movie character, nearly.  That's basically all you need to know.  Also!  Kieran Culkin was pretty awesome.

*The Switch Dare I say one of Jason Bateman's best roles.  One of the better rom-coms.  Jennifer Aniston was age appropriate, which was refreshing.  The kid was the perfect mix of endearing and odd.

*Worth the watch OR just don't waste your time on The Last Airbender.
