Summer Movie list Week 5, 6, and 7

Sorry I have been late but I made up for it at least!

Week 5

Monday:

Platoon

I have already seen this movie and i felt like it was a pretty good movie but it was less of a movie and more of a compilation of events using the same characters.

Rambo

The bloody reamake of the classic was not at par to the original and needlesly violent.

National Lampoon's Vacation

This movie is a classic i have alway loved it...

Tuesday:

Pretty in pink

It was a great movie... I really like John hughes movies... It was the first of the two movies on the road trip from California to VEGAS BABY!!!1

Moonrise Kingdom

Another great movie that i saw on the trip... Both movies my aunt had bought me for my early birthday present...

White House Down

It seems like you have to compare this to olympus has fallen and story-wise i would call this the watered down version... But i liked it better only because i loved Jaime Fox and Channing Tatum in this movie... They made a perfect team...

Wednesday:

The Road

The road from Vegas to Utah consisted of 2 of which i had already seen and made my favorite. This is one of them... I love this movie... It has a dark feel but you can't tell what's really going on with surprises like cannibals and glimpses of children...

Music Within

Another one of my favorites... a mvoie which i was proud to say was one of my favorites for awhile...

City Island

A funny movie but still a very weird one...

Thursday:

My Date with Drew...

A masterful documentary with a great premise

The Big Lebowski

I have always loved this movie... Its one of my favorites I mean if you don't like this movie... "well that's just like your opinion man..."

Friday:

The princess and the frog:

I didn't think it was great compared to the great pixar movies and the other great disney classics...

Knocked up

A sensationally funny movie... but still a little raunchy for my taste...

Oceans 11

A great movie starring all the members of the rat pack... I really enjoyed it... It always helps to watch these movies while you pick a favorite... I picked Dean Martin... I mean I love Dean-o... I think that if you have someone to enjoy it makes the movie better.

Oceans eleven

Okay so now you are probably wondering... So he bought the 4-pack right? The answer is yes... All in all this was an okay movie but not as good as the original...

Saturday:

Oceans twelve

This movie was on par to the last one...

Oceans thirteen

I'm just getting tired of rating oceans movies...

Act of Valor

This movie was okay but i never thought it was great... It had a catch to it that made it more appealing than the movie itself...

Killer Elite

Now that's good action... I love Jason Statham... there is only one action movie star better than him and that's Dolph Lundgren...

Sunday:

Expendables 2

Another movie where picking favorites makes it more worthwhile.... I picked Dolph Lundgren (Which was hard to do in the original...)

O Brother Where Art Thou

I like the Coen brothers... Could you tell?

The Avengers

A very overhyped and overdone movie... Not that great just okay...

Week 6

Monday:

The Lone Ranger

The comedy was a little too much but i have no idea why everybody is calling this a horrible movie... I thought it was pretty good!

Lockout

This is a Die-hard style sci-fi movie that i really enjoyed...

Serenity

I didn't really like this movie... It had a bad vibe and it didn't really click and make a good story...

Tuesday:

Hamburger Hill

A great vietnam movie... I thought it was a little heavy on the black badass characters...

The 40 year old virgin

A great comedy movie... Probably one of my favorites... "Virgin isn't a bad word but you know what is? Asshole! Cause that's what you are!"

Wednesday:

Battle Royale 2

I was told this movie is awful... but i found out that it is a pretty good sequel its just that things don't work out like they did in the original but they use the same mechanics and it makes the movie a little awkward...

Thursday:

Diary of the Dead

I always thought this was a pretty good zombie movie... certainly better than world war z...

The Eye

Its an okay horror movie... I don't love it though...

Battle: Los Angeles

This movie in Blu-ray is gorgeous...

Friday:

Confessions of a dangerous mind

Don't make the mistake i did and watch it thinking that it is a true story... It isn't interpreted to be true its just a story most likely...

National Security

I really liked this movie... It made for a good time... I have always liked martin laurence...

Saturday:

Clay Pidgeons

I think that this movie was interesting... not nessicarily good but entertaining...

Going the Distance

I thought that this movie was a really funny one... I have always liked Charlie Day... Even though he didn't play the main character it was still great to see him in something rather than its always sunny in philadelphia...

Superbad

Another one of my favorite comedy movies... I seem to really like the apatow ones...

Sunday:

Up in smoke

You don't have to smoke weed to think this movie is a great movie... I think it's a classic and i don't smoke weed.

Super High me

I didn't like it because it was a biased documentary...

Bedazzled

A pretty racy movie for a movie from the 60's but i really liked it... It may go on the favorites list...

Week 7

Monday:

Starship troopers 2

It took a movie that was purposely bad and made it bad... how do you do that?

Clueless

A very funny movie but what a weird ending... Who falls in love with their brother?

And Now a Word From our Sponsor

A pretty funny movie but you could tell why it was indie... because it wasn't very great...

Tuesday:

The Shining

A favorite of mine... I thought it was a great movie with beautiful acting by Jack Nicholson.

Pulp Fiction

A great Quentin Tarentino movie! I love this one because it tells a story in a way that no other director ever could...

Wednesday:

Conan the Barbarian

It was an okay movie... The original was better

War of the Worlds

A great movie that i have always enjoyed...

Sherlock Holmes

An amazing movie with Robert Downey Jr.'s masterful acting...

Sherlock Holmes 2

See above...

Evil Dead 2

A really bad movie... I hated it... then again... I didn't like the original...

Thursday:

Red

Bruce Willis never seems to dissapoint... I figured i would watch this again before the new one...

The invention of lying

A not very funny slap in the face to christians... I dont like it that much...

The Truman Show

I have always loved the idea of this movie... I thought it was a great movie...

Friday:

Halloween:

I thought it was a good little time waster of a movie...

Alien Vs. Predator

I wanted to see the movie again just to see how bad it was... It was pretty bad...

Prometheus

My third time watching this movie... Still wasn't very good...

The breakfast Club

What can i say? John Hughes...

Django Unchained

An amazing movie... Definitely one of my favorites...

Fight Club

A great movie with a twist so crazy that it makes the movie worth watching again for the hints towards the ending...

The Spy who loved me

My favorite James Bond Movie By far...

Saturday:

King Kong

The peter Jackson version is a good version but i never loved it...

A knight's tale

A funny movie but not a great one... Rest in peace Heath ledger...

X men origins wolverine

Wow this was an action packed day of bad movies...

Sunday:

One Flew over the Cuckoos nest

A great movie that i am no afraid to admit made me cry...

Les Miserables

I thought it was a great movie... I really enjoyed all the music...
