Movies this week.

After taking a long break from the movies, I went back in full force this week. All I can say in the end is, I wish i had taken another week off. Out of the three summer blockbusters, only one was watchable.

This was “Ironman.” Jon Farveau surpassed my expectations with this film and Robert Downy Jr. was very funny and fit the role extremely well. However, I do not know where the hell those muscles came from. The story did not go anywhere, but man was Ironman cool looking. The movie has raked in over 280 mil. and I expect much more when this thing hits the shelves.

The next movie I saw disappointed me more than any other movie I have seen in my entire lifetime. This was “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” I should have known from this corny title and Harrison Fords age that this movie would suck, but since it was Indy, I had to see it. I was excited to see Ford do his own Indiana Jones Style stunts, with the fake bullets hitting everything around him and explosions around every corner. However, I also noticed that these effects were cheap and plan old boring. For example, when he is running on the rafters in the warehouse in the beginning, you can clearly see dirty/scratched up plexy glass covering the holes. And all i have to say about the story is, Aliens!? Common Steven, you cant be serious.

Finally, I went to the midnight showing of “Dont mess with the Zohan.” I would like to forewarn all of you not to go and see this movie. This is because  besides for  Emmanuelle Chriqui, Dalia, There was no point to this movie. I think Adam Sandler should have just stuck to not making movies instead of digging himself into a deeper hole with this one. I mean Spanglish, The longest Yard, Click, and chuck and larry, weren’t bad enough? I just hope that Love Guru does not disappoint me as much.
