Quick Summer Movie Review

Here they are, in the order that they come to me.



Live Free Die Hard - It's PG-13, which bothered me going into the film, but it's really not as bad as you might think. Sure there is a bit less blood, and some horrible dubbing to cover up the bad words, but it's still a fun film. Bottom Line: See It

Transformers - Since when do the Transformers hide from parents? The film isn't bad, but it's just more Michael Bay fluff. It could have been so much better, though I doubt the special effects could have been. Bottom Line: Rent It

Ratatouille - It's Brad Bird, it's Pixar, it's amazing. Bottom Line: See It and then See It Again

Pirates 3 - It's more of the same, but if you liked the first two films, you'll like this one as well. Bottom Line: Rent It

Surf's Up - Not as good as Ratatouille, but far better than almost any animated film released last summer. Go see it on the big screen and check out the amazing waves. Bottom Line: See It

Shrek the Third - It's more of the same, which isn't a bad thing, but to be honest, if you're going to go see a CG animated film, you'll probably get more satisfaction out of "Surf's" or "Ratatouille." Bottom Line: Rent It

Spider-Man 3 - It's like they tried to fit part 3, 4 and part of 5 into one film. I'm a huge fan of the first two, and this one just felt like way too much for one film to handle. Bottom Line: Rent It

Knocked Up - It's gross, it's sophmoric, it's filled with stoner humor, and it's one of the funniest films I've seen in a long time. Bottom Line: See It

Man... I watch too many movies.
