Gosh, I've seen a bunch of movies lately and haven't really commented on them, aside from my rant on how terrible GI Joe was. So here's a quick round up.
This afternoon I saw A Perfect Getaway, because frankly you can talk me into seeing anything with two of the most beautiful things in the world, Milla Jovovich and Kauai. I was expecting mediocrity for some reason, but holy crap, it was a pretty awesome flick. I haven't seen a good suspense film in awhile, but this had some serious edge-of-your-seat moments. The real star of the film (aside from the amazing Na'pali coast) is Timothy Olyphant. I admit, I've had a man crush on that guy since The Girl Next Door, because he can be so badass. Even in Catch and Release I thought he was badass, and that was a romantic comedy. Go see it.
Last weekend we saw (500) Days of Summer, and it wasn't bad. I'll see anything with Zooey Deschenel in it. It was only showing in one theater, a really crappy Regal in Akron, and the matinee price was $7.50 (first showing at the nice Cinemark near me is five bucks). It wasn't a bad movie, exploring the concepts of fate and "the one" and really shitty relationships. My complaint is that the Tom character (the 3rd Rock kid) is just so pathetic that you can't really sympathize with him. I was that guy once for half a year over a girl, and I hated myself. So I hated him. Again, movie was OK, but not as good as I hoped.
I think I mentioned that The Hangover was surprisingly witty and well written. Beyond that, there haven't been a lot of titles I've been that motivated to see this summer.
