We aren't big movie-goers. It's cost prohibitive. But this summer, I took in several EXCELLENT movies. I thought I'd share. (I was hoping these movie posters would all be sort of the same size, but alas, my computer skills fail me. Deal with it.)
June: Source Code, starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Think "Ground Hog Day" meets "Avatar". It was a slow starter, but got better toward the end. It's worth $1 at Red Box.
June: Cars 2. Not as good as the first but still really fun. The digital graphics are amazing. Definitely rent this on Blue Ray if you have the right player/tv. I will.
July: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. I was so sad to see this series come to an end, as we've been enjoying Harry Potter for years and years. This is the BEST of the 8 movies--by far. It was intense, exciting, and even shared the book's sweet ending, which I was afraid they would leave out. I am so glad I got to see it on the big screen and will definitely purchase it ON BLUE RAY!!!
August: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Don't tell the kids, but one afternoon I snuck away and watched it again without them. It's that good!!!
August: Glee 3D Concert Movie. If you like Glee music then you won't be disappointed. The director mixed stories of people who have had positive life experiences because of the tv show with the concert footage. It was absolutely unnecessary to go to the extra expense of making this movie 3D. That was a waste of money for the studio. This is worth the $1 Red Box fee if you like the music, Finn, and Puck.
August: The Help. One of the best books I've ever read came to the big screen. Movies made from books rarely make the grade, but this one did. There will be Oscar nominations for this movie--mark my words. It did a good job of sticking to the story and getting the major parts of the story into the movie. READ THE BOOK FIRST, and then see this movie. You won't be disappointed by either.
That concludes my summer movie viewing. Next up: Twilight in November!!!
