EARLY SUMMER FLIX PIX
So summer movies have arrived, and they’ve arrived in style, so far. I’ve been lucky and have seen a hell of a string of movies in the theatre this year, dating back to Big Fish back in January, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind back in March. But away from the sappier fanfare, summer is the time for fun, and the movies I’ve seen so far fit the bill.
Van Helsing—solid popcorn movie that’s better and more fun than it has any right to be. Jackman is damn solid, as is Faromir from Lord of the Rings as the monk-sidekick. Clever re-imaging of oldschool monsters and good plot twists, and Kate Beckinsale as the hottest heroine on celluloid (at least until my girlfriend Keira returns later this summer).
Troy—Everything I wanted out of it and more. Sure, there was no interaction with the gods, and that was sort of a bummer, but the “This is how it REALLY happened” feel to the flick actually worked, and was used cleverly. Brad Pitt, action star? Who’dathunk it would work, but it did, and the Hector/Achilles fight instantly became one of my hands down movie favorites. Speaking of Hector, Eric Bana straight up CARRIES THIS MOVIE ON HIS BACK, and proves that his boring-ass turn in HULK had nothing to do with his acting skills. Badass fight scenes, beautiful ladies, and enough naked Brad Pitt to convince your girlfriend to see it instead of the Stepford Wives, and you can’t lose. Can’t wait for the DVD.
Shrek 2—Funniest goddamn movie I’ve seen in a LONG time. Actually, probably the most I’ve ever laughed in a theatre. Just beautifully animated, cleverly written, and ridiculously imaginative. Banderas as “Puss in Boots” would be my favorite movie character if I were 8, and the fact they actually used the old “why the long face” joke, and it WORKED, and it was HILARIOUSLY executed makes this probably the best date movie to come along in a long time.
Now, someone hurry up and bring me Spidey 2, King Arthur, and Dodgeball!
Oh, and Uram says stay FAR away from “The Day After Tomorrow,” to which I say… duh.
Anybody out there want to post me a quick review of The Punisher or Hellboy?
In the meantime kiddies, stay awesome
