I couldn't think of anything good for a new blog so I'm posting my opinions and reviews for the summer movies I've seen so far this year.
In the chronological order I saw them in...
Transformers 2 ---- 3/5 ---- A great movie if you just want to turn off your brain and enjoy the explosions, but with a less coherent story than the first movie (which wasn't entirely surprising).
Harry Potter andThe Half Blood Prince ---- 5/5 ---- I am a fan of the Harry Potter series (hate to say, but...) so unsurprisingly I always enjoy seeing the latest film adaptation. Also there's just something enthralling about Emma Watson :) .
District 9---- 5/5 ---- B...E...A...U...TIFUL.... I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, it was fresh and clever, but also Incorporated all of the traits a great summer movie needs. The movie also has some truly memorable set pieces and characters.
Inglorious Basterds---- 4/5 ---- I have to say I was very surprised when I arrived to this movie and discovered it's NOT an action movie. IB is a complex and original take on a WWII movie... I'd expect no less from Tarantino. One word of warning though be prepared to READ a lot of closedcaptions.
Well...That's pretty much it.... Go see District 9,Harry Potter (if you can find it playing still),and Inglorious Basterds (if you don't mindreading)
