Oh hello there,
Yeah, yeah, yeah I know. I haven't been much of a "frequent" poster on this here blog. But dadgummit, I will now! It's convenient now that I have my own Macbook and iPhone, but whatever. Anyways, it is Summer Movie time again! Whoopee!
First in the line up we have: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. (PG-13)
Is it strange that Johnny Depp is impossibly sexy and yet he is 48? Yes. Is it strange that Penelope Cruz was seriously preggers during the filming of this movie yet it wasn't the least bit noticeable? Yes. Is it strange that the mermaids aren't quite the sweet Ariel? Oh heck to the yes. Nonetheless, the movie was entertaining despite being without that wonderful Brit (Orlando Bloom). Yes, the plot was a bit lacking, but Geoffrey Rush and Johnny Depp saved the movie from being a disappointment.
2. Bridesmaids (R)
Okay, so I didn't see this movie but just from reading reviews you can see that Kristen Wiig is hilarious along with my personal favorite comedienne (next to Tina Fey and Amy Poehler) Maya Rudolph. What could be better than a movie about female fights, potty humor, drunk women, and a child taking a birth control pill. It has did surprisingly well for a comedy about bridesmaids. Possibly the female version of "The Hangover"? Maybe not that popular...
3. The Hangover 2 (R)
Alright, I didn't see this one either. I heard that the plot was far-fetched and a little weak. But then again, what comedy isn't? However, the general consensus was that the movie was funny, but not quite up to par. Sorry, guys, maybe a movie where a monkey is a scene-stealer isn't really what you need to succeed in Tinseltown.
4. Kung Fu Panda 2 (PG)
Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting! Those animators were fast as lightning! Seriously, I know that making an CGI movie takes awhile to make. A sequel of the very popular Kung Fu Panda where we first met the weak, yet comically strong Po. Gary Oldman made a likable, yet unlikable villain in peacock form. The movie was action-packed and fun for all ages. Skadoosh.
5. X-Men: First Class (PG-13)
Oh my gosh, AMAZING movie. Seriously. A great "prequel" to the X-Men series. Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy seriously delivered great characters with amazing depth. The plot was really strong and entertaining without being overly far-fetched. I loved this movie. I would see it again. Jennifer Lawrence, who played Raven/Mystique gave an wonderful performance and I can't wait to see her in The Hunger Games as the awesome Katniss Everdeen.
6. Mr. Popper's Penguins (PG)
Released just in time for Father's Day. Yay. Jim Carrey plays a father in this movie about a man who is burdened with a few penguins. It was based on the book that we all read for school in our younger years. I haven't seen it, but I'm sure it is loosely based on the book.
7. Super 8 (PG-13)
A SUPER movie! It was mint! Really, it was. A great movie set in an awesome time period to have a monster movie. The main character played by a complete nobody gave the film a great dynamic and such. Elle Fanning plays the cute little love interest. Although, she does have a surprisingly deep voice....not that that matters.
8. Aw darn this should've been for Super 8, anyways Green Lantern (PG-13)
Ah, Ryan Reynolds. He is so sexy. An interesting movie with a nice intro to what could be a series of movies...hopefully? Peter Saarsgard totally blew me away with his almost unrecognizable role as Hector Hammond, the antagonist of the movie.
9. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (PG-13)
I seriously cannot wait for this movie to come out JULY 15!! I've grown up with Harry and it's hard to believe that it's been 10 years since I've seen the very first movie in theaters. Anyways, go see it. It's gonna be the stuff of legends.
10. Cars 2
Wow! A sequel to a Pixar/Disney movie?!?!?! WOW DISNEY THIS IS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED! Oh wait, no it isn't. Considering they are going to milk all of their movies into franchises...I expect that this movie will be well-recieved by all ages. Hopefully? The first Cars movie wasn't as amazing as Toy Story was. But whatever. Do what you want, Disney. There are talks of a Finding Nemo sequel. Or should I say "Sea-quel". When will Nemo learn his lesson? Will Dory get lost this time? Will Ellen be back? I hope Nemo won't be a guppy anymore, it isn't natural for a fish to be that young for that long.
Anyways, that's the scoop on all of the new movies and some big movies to look out for.
In other news, school is out for everyone and it is SUMMER. Woot! Now it is go time for tans, pool time, theme parks, etc.
That's all for now,
this is Hannah signing off. ;)
