movies galore...

It is the summer and it is time for the summer blockbusters.

Movies i watched recently:

Lie With Me
A movie about sex and finding true love. What happens when 2 prosmiscious people find love in each other? Are they able to give up their previous lives and commit to one another? Anyway that is what the film tries to portray. But the movie is really about the sex scenes, although they are not as graphic as could have been. left the cinema feeling empty and depressed. in my view a waste of money.

Mission Impossible III(M:I:3)

Ethan Hunt is back and bigger than better. J Abram helms this one and his influence shows. The cast is bigger and better this time round.And the action set pieces are eye popping. The quintessential Summer Blockbuster with all the explosions and action sequences. Maggie Q, Philip Seymour Hoffman,Keri Russell and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers join the ensemble cast.

Poseidon
A film remake of the 1972 movie of the same name. It is contemporalised(sic) to 2005. So there are hamdphones and all the she-bangs of modern living. Also with the advent of CGI and huge sound stages, they were able to recreate what a real ship woulda been like. In my view the ship appeared too clean and sterile. I know it is supposed to be a relatively new ship, but surely they could have done a better representation of it in terms of shadowing and all. The cast is not A-List which perhaps works to the films advantage. So the story is that a rogue wave hits the huge ship and causes it to overturn! The story then goes to how a group of survivors work their way to the bottom (top?) of the ship as the rest of the passengers and crew perish when they decide to remain below (top??). It has it moments, but nothing new or groundbreaking was ventured in this piece.

Movies i wanna catch
The Da Vinci Code
Many churches are against the screening of this movie. In my view it is healthy for all believers to examine their beliefs and question the status quo. I think by watching the movie and making an informed opinion will only strenghten ones faith. Anyway a it is bound to be a good movie.

Over the Hedge
The latest offering from Dreamworks. I seen the trailers and all and it sure looks like a good one.

X-men:The Last Stand
The final in the trilogy. A pity though as I think the X-men franchise has the legs to go on even longer. There are so many other plots and characters yet to be introduced from the X-men universe. But this one looks to be the best one yet if that is any consolation.
