Even though all I've tackled this first week of blogging are the releases opening this weekend, there are plenty of other choices still available from weeks past.
"Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince":
It's still a box office giant. It has, to date, grossed $263 million. That's a big movie by any body's estimation. There must be something there and I can say that I am definitely a Potter fan. I've read the books and until this one I've seen all of the movies. Something about this one, makes me less eager and I haven't heard other Potter Heads singing it's praises, but that doesn't mean it's not crazy good. It doesn't mean that it is either. I want to see it. I will see it. It just might be on DVD.
"The Proposal":
This is just a straight up review because I've seen this one already. It was cute. That's all. Just cute. No shocks, but some laughs. Ryan Reynolds has an amazing body, but you probably figured that out in all of the press that he did for this movie. It's probably the element they pimped the hardest. They ain't lyin'. His body is out of control. The movie- all the better for it- still just cute. It will be one of those movies that that takes up whole afternoons on a frothy basic cable network; and what a good Saturday it will be.
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen":
Yuck. Pretty people- Josh Duhamel, Megan Fox, Tyrese Gibson. Maybe if they lose the sound, I'll watch it.
"Funny People":
I know this movie is going to break my heart, because I love Judd Apatow movies, Adam Sandler, and Seth Rogen. Still, this is not going to be good. I don't know why. I can't pick out the one element that's turning me off here, but just the trailer let's me down. There's no joy in it; no brightness or levity. It feels heavy and flimsy at the same time. Quite the paradox, I know, but not what I want from this trio.
There are many more, of course, but I've got little time and movies to see. Happy movie watching!
