Summer Movies

This summer has been a sorry summer for movies. At least for the "Summer Blockbusters!" 

I don't get much free time to go the movies so I catch most of them on DVD. (Thanks to the awesome NETFLIX!) 

However, this summer I caught the following films on the Big Screen:

Star Trek (Enjoyed)

Wolverine (Hated!!)

Terminator:Salvation (Hated!!!) 

Transformers 2 (Fun but completely pointless and tasteless) 

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (Enjoyed but wanted more to be in the movie) 

The Proposal (I went with my girlfriend for all those bad movies I dragged her to see. I actually found the movie enjoyable and funny) 

Excuse me for wanting a story to go with my block buster. I mean the fact that studios, producers and directors are just focusing on action and effects is just insulting. Especially when the price of going to the movies and/or renting a DVD just gets higher. I like character, I like dialogue and I like purpose. Wolverine, Terminator:Salvation, and Transformers 2 had none of that! What is mind blowing is the fact that all three of those movies have years, books, stories, movies, TV shows, and more worth of character development, story, etc. But when it came time to making the movies they through all that shit out and made a mix of incoherent, dumb, senseless and worthless movies. I love Wolverine, the Terminator and Transformers, but not their 2009 Summer movies. They sucked! Transformers was the most enjoyable one out of the three. Michael Bay has to stop saying "I just wanted to make a pop corn movie." He says that for everyone of his films. It's just a smoke mirror to hide his lack of talent of making a movie, that just isn't camera angles, effects and hot women. 

Finally, I am looking forward to seeing GI JOE  after reading Aint It Cool News' review. I am a GIANT GI JOE fan and was completely horrified by the movie's trailers.  But after reading Harry's review a glimmer of hope appears. I hated Stephen Sommers VAN HELSING. It was total trash. And I saw it in the theaters for FREE. I still wanted my money back! 

We will find out next week if he destroyed my childhood. LOL!!!
