Not So Rusty
I don't particularly love Michael Bay's Transformers series. Hell, I downright hated the last one. So, tonight, they released the trailer for this June new Transformers: Age of Extinction. Yeah, count me in.

One-Year Anniversary Review-athon: "Battleship"
In the final review of the review-athon, as it turns out, movies based on board games were not a good idea. This is Battleship!

Recall This Remake
The original 1990 film Total Recall is for me at least, one of the greatest action films ever and maybe even one of the best period. And while I normally try to judge every movie on it's own and not based off of what it's adapting and I certainly have nothing against doing something different, the trailer for the new remake leaves me unimpressed.

2011 Summer Movie Recap
I was just going to say by favorites and least-favorite films of the summer, but, I figured why not just talk about all of the movies that came out this summer that I saw, starting with...
THOR: A truely fantastic superhero movie with a great cast boosted by one of the best story adaptations ever. 5 out of 6.
KUNG FU PANDA 2: Talk about a surprise! This is the perfect example of how to make a sequel. It's bigger, riskier and, above all, better than the first. 6 out of 6.
X-MEN: FIRST CLASS: While easily the best of the X-Men movie, the film lacks something to truely maki it memorable. Still, a great movie in a weak series. See the full review at my blog. 5 out of 6.
SUPER 8: Man was this a great movie. The action was great, the characters wer great. Overall, this is a very underrated film. 6 out of 6.
CARS 2: Pixar may have focused too much on humor and too little on story, but this film was just a lot of fun. Full review at blog. 5 out of 6.
TRANSFORMERS: DRAK OF THE MOON: The first Transformers was great, the second was good, but the third is the same as all of the other and is really uninteresting. Full review at blog. 2 out of 6.
HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 2: While yes, the film is a fitting end to the series, it isn't very accessable to those who haven't read the books. Full review at blog. 4 out of 6.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER: Easily the best superhero film of the summer, the movie was just awesome from start to finish. Full video review on blog. 6 out of 6.
COWBOYS AND ALIENS: Firefly is an example of western/sci-fi merging gone insanely right. This film is an example of western/sci-fi merging gone horribly wrong. A major bore. 3 out of 6.
CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE: A sweet, very funny movie that balences a large cast nicely.Full review on blog. 5 out of 6.
RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES: Another big surprise, the film managed to be a great action movie and a great drama at the same time. 6 out of 6.
Overall, this has been one of the best summer for movies in a long time. And now, let me give out my top 3 best and worst list of the summer.
THE BEST:
1. Super 8
2. Kung Fu Panda 2
3. Rise of the Planet of the Apes
THE WORST:
1. Transformers: Dark of the Moon
2. Cowboys and Aliens
3. Green Lanturn (I didn't need to see it to know it sucked.)
