Summer Movies

[Charles Woodson]

Fantastic four looks pretty good

Movies are $7-8. I remember when you could go to a movie for $1-2.

When I was a kid, we paid 25 cents on Sat. afternoon and got a two-movie matinee.
And no, these were not silent films.

I have a hunch that out of the big sequels this summer, the third jason bourne one will be by far the best.

My reasoning for that is the story was actually written as a trilogy from the start with the books. That, and the first two were great!

Forgot about jason Bourne. Love the first two. His woman died in the second and he killed off the main guy in Washington. Where will the story turn to?

Read the books!!!

The best movie I saw this year, in theaters, was "The Last King of Scotland." Great performance by Forest Whitacker and the story of Idi Amin is so compelling and interesting. Great movie. I recently saw "Fracture" with Anthony Hopkins, which was also a great movie. Spiderman 3 was good. Not great, but good.

I agree with Harv, however, that the movie industry is extremely poor right now. Pirates of the Caribbean is bad plot and average acting. Fantastic Four is similar. Shrek has lost the special humor that made it so good. Comedy movies are too focused on making 12-year old sex jokes then real comedy. Stuff like the Wedding Crashers and Scary Movie is just immature, teenage humor. My favorite comedy of all time is "Blazing Saddles." Mel Brooks is a humor genius. Little-Miss Sunshine was also a good comedy. However, notice how Little-Miss Sunshine wasn't made up of sex and gag jokes? That's what a good comedy is.

Will Smith was great in The Pursuit of Happiness.

The Guardian was good too. There have been a few duds, but I like most of Kevin Costner's movies.

I liked the Pursuit of Happyness. Will might not be the best actor in the family anymore.

Thanks! There is so much out there I don't know about!

Shrek the first one is really well done. The second one had some good one liners. I've heard bad things about the 3rd.

If you liked the first and the second, you will like the third. The movie got applause in the theater at several points and applause at the credits (I'm not sure who they were applauding, but I don't think it was the projectionist...) There were also the usual laugh out loud scenes and those that went over the kids' heads...
