Predators

By far the best movie I’ve seen all summer, which I know isn’t saying much considering what has come out. It knew what is and didn’t try to be anything more than it was. Predators is the perfect summer blockbuster filled with aliens, semi-interesting characters, explosions, and dumb, but not too dumb dialogue. I’d see it again.

Twilight Saga: Eclipse

I could shit a better movie than this. I suffered through reading the books and go to see these films for a laugh. However, the job of the screenwriter is to adapt a book as easy and mindless as the Twilight series into a movie either equivalent to quality of the book or better, not worse. If I was an actual fan of Bella, Edward, and Jacob I would hire a hit on the screenwriter.

Knight and Day

A summer blockbuster featuring Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, and lots of action, so it can either be mildly entertaining or terrible. Luckily it was mildly entertaining if one is in the mood for a mindless popcorn movie with mildly witty jokes and slam bam star power. Though this film is pretty forgettable, except when it comes to the true identity of the actors, it was good for a giggle.
