Some Quick Movie Reviews

Just of Review of a Few of the Movies we have seen this summer season... so far

Fast and Furious.. Sue had to see it twice to pick up all the cool stunts. Don't miss the opening..OMG the hurdling gas truck has to be seen. I ended up buying Fast and Furious the original and 2 fast and furious on DVD through Ebay. This has to be the action movie of the Summer.. plot is less than fabulous.. but then there is Vin Diesel.. incredible.

Angels and Demons The Ronnie Howard..Tom Hanks project. If you read the book and remember it.. written by the same author as the Di Vinci Code, its different. This movie is a thriller and is pretty intense. Sue re read the book and now wants to see the movie again. I not sure that I am up for it.

Pelan 123 This s another tense compelling video. It will leave you squarely on the edge of your seat throughout the movie. Denzel Washington plays an "ordinary guy doing his job" as a controller on the NY subway when the economic terrorist, John Travolta holds a car at hostage under the streets. There are plenty of "backstories for this one." While very good, its not complicated enough to see again. Still its a good one if you like compelling video.

Up! We say the latest Pixar phenom animation today. We paid the extra $2.50 to put on the glasses and see it in 3D. I thought the extra was worth it, Sue didn't get the 3 D part. We both liked the story. Its got the old guy and the house on balloons. Bob will really like the animation. The story line is pretty cool although it drags in the middle when you least expect it. We had some tweeners sitting above us that thought the movie was pretty "cute" and there were plenty of "ah" moments in it. The dog part is pretty cool. Sue thought that mom and dad would really like this movie. I am thinking that Kelly and her interest in big dogs would really enjoy parts of this movie too.

So whats the tote? We haven't seen a movie that we didn't like this summer. Since the matinees are now 15 and the night shows are 20.. its a good thing.
