Muchos Movies
Summertime is movie time so I will indulge you/me with a little more exposition on the subject.
The first is a movie that once again I beat Gyuss to seeing. I actually saw it a couple of weeks ago with the family. It's probably one of the most anticipated movies of the year and you've probably been surprised not to see a review of it already. The movie that I am speaking of is of course Nancy Drew. This movie stars Emma Roberts who looks like an Anne Hathaway starter 
kit. It tries to play up Nancy as an ideal from another time who is somewhat out of place in current day, but still of course comes out on top. It just doesn't do it as successfully as previous movies like the Brady Bunch Movie. In fact I'm now thinking that I will enjoy the Hardy Boys Movie more. This movie was not that funny, cute, or mysterious but it did have Rachel Leigh Cook and that alone will get it an A-. I love you R.L.C. Call me.

It's a movie that's got some moments of creativity and also got big glaring plot holes that are tough to overlook. It's a decent watch if you don't want to think too much and like playing 1st person shooter video games. The other plusses to the movie are that it it's pretty damning of the Bush Administration, it has Marky Mark, and probably best of all it has Rhona Mitra (Boston Legal, Ali G Indahouse). Those three things vault this movie to a strong A-. When ever I see her I think that she's wearing the "Keep it real" panties that she wore in Ali G. Is that just me? I love you Rhona. Call me.
Lastly is a movie that I will soon be renting. I haven't actually seen it yet, but I will of that you can be sure. Much like Transmorphers coming out on video in time to try and catch some of the Transformers spill over I have found the movie that is coming out for rent just in time to catch some of the Harry Potter spill over. Before Rupert Grint landed the set-for-life pay day 
playing the best friend of Harry Potter he starred in Thunderpants playing the best friend of a kid that farts a lot. This movie also has Ned Beatty and Paul Giamatti. Here is the plot outline from IMDB. An 11-year-old boy's amazing ability to break wind leads him first to fame and then to death row, before it helps him to fulfill his ambition of becoming an astronaut. That gets a pre-emptive A-. I love you Rupert. Call me.

I am anticipating the Summer blockbuster release of "Up and Cummers #33" I promise I will see it before you and Gyuss...
I saw Transformers and thought it was definately a GOOD. My summer will be complete with Potter 5, and Die Hard 4.
what a shame about nancy drew. those and the hardy boys were some of my favs growing up. it's too bad the movie didn't do them justice. i'll wait till it hits cable then. i'm hoping underdog will be a good one. i used to love the cartoon.
still haven't seen transformers, j and i have to ditch cheeks for that one. she doesn't want to see it at all. and plan to see dh4 and hp5.
Up and Cummers #33 sounds like a DVD relese to me. Do you and Paul Reubens go to the same types of theaters?
The only things on my list thus far are Transformers, Die Hard (I guess 4, but I thought it was 3???), and the Fantastic 4 Part II!!!
Q - I know you're a completist and can't sit still untill you have the entire collection.
Cyber D - Of course it was good. I don't just hand out A minuses.
Heather - I think that Underdog is going to make me cry. Especially when you compare it to how much I liked the cartoon as a kid.
Churlita - Please don't acknowledge Q. It only encourages him.
Tera - I actually thought I was going to see Fantastic Four II, when the switcheroo happened. It was the old Jessica Alba bait and switch trick. I can't believe I fell for it. Again.
Churlita, we don't frequent the same theaters but we do end up in the same restrooms most of the time. Together...
Q - I know you would, but I can't believe that Paul Reubens would.
I was supposed to go see Potter 5billion tonight but I got stuck working too late. This weekend I'm going to the drive in to watch Die Hard 4 and 1408. I would say I'll let y'all know how it goes but my drive in experiences always start off with a case of beer so I rarely remember them..
"Emma Roberts who looks like an Anne Hathaway starter kit..." LMAO at this one.
tera, hold off on fantastic 4, wait and rent it. it's ok but not worth the theatre price.
kiddo, let me know what you think of 1408, i'm trying to convince j to add that to our 'go see at the movies' list vs. our 'wait till it comes out on cable' list.
dags, i'm soo gonna cry if they screwed up underdog.
Susan - I'm upset that I haven't seen Potter yet. I already know what happens, but I need the fix.
Kofi - Thanks. If you ever have the misfortune of watching the movie the resemblance is really pronounced, and I'm not saying that's a bad thing. Not saying that at all.
Heather - I'm just saying to be prepared to cry. Did you see Garfield? I'm afraid it will be more of the same.
