June update

Well, the movies that have come out this past month have been a bit of a mixture, but pretty good overall. Let me explain. First off, Iron Man 2, I really enjoyed it, while I didn't think it was as good as the first one, I still really enjoyed it and can watch it again and again. The next weekend, we got Robin Hood, it was good, but honestly, it fulfilled my expectations, except for the fact that they didn't exceed them, it was a good movie to watch, and it was a bit long, but I still think it's worth watching at least once. I also saw Letters to Juliet, yes, I can sit through a few chick flicks, I would compare this to Leap Year, it really wasn't entirely funny (according to me anyway) and it felt like it dragged in certain areas. The next weekend, we got Shrek Forever After, I wasn't looking forward to another Shrek, and I am sure there were many that felt the same way, but I saw it anyway, and I will be honest, it was actually pretty good, while not as witty or funny as the first, it was still entertaining and had some pretty funny moments, and I would recommend it. The next weekend, was the arrival of The Prince of Persia. This was not on my must see list at all, but I have to admit, it was good, plenty of action to go around, just a fun movie altogether. That is my review for May, some pretty good movies.

How does June look? Well, this weekend, I don't see anything that is really worth checking out, maybe something that a few will check out, but I am not really expecting any big hits. We have Get Him to the Greek, Splice, Marmaduke, and Killers. June 11, we have a couple of movies that should do fairly well, we have The A-Team which looks really entertaining and fun, and then The Karate Kid, while I don't think we need a remake to the original, this doesn't look bad and could be a decent hit, we will see though. June 18, we have Toy Story 3, which should be a huge hit, and I am sure there will be many families headed to the theaters for this one. We also got Jonah Hex, I really haven't heard anything positive about it, but who knows, it could be decent and fun to watch. June 25, look for Knight and Day, which has Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, judging by the trailers, it looks like it will be a fun movie to watch with plenty of action and humor, and then we also have Grown Ups, which has Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, and Rob Schneider, looks really funny, and should do fairly well. Then June 30, we have Twilight: Eclipse, what can I say, expect millions and millions of girls lined up at the theater to see Edward and Jacob. While this one crosses over to July, I am going to mention it, on July 2, two days after Edward and Jacob show up at the theater, look for The Last Airbender, the alternative for those who aren't wanting to see Twilight.

As for DVD and Blu-Ray releases, we now have Alice in Wonderland on DVD and Blu-Ray, just to let you know, for those who are looking at getting a Blu-Ray player in the near future, just get the Blu-Ray version that has everything, which includes a DVD copy of the movie, it looks great and sounds great on Blu-Ray, and is certainly great to look at. There is also The Wolfman for those who are interested. Another one I want to mention, for those who were excited for the U2 360 tour this summer, but were bummed when it got cancelled and pushed till 2011, you can get the U2 360 concert at the Rose Bowl last year on DVD and Blu-Ray, I picked up my copy of it on Blu-Ray, and it sounds awesome, also, it's great to see what they could have done if they had their concert this year, well, I am still holding on to my ticket for next year and see what happens. But nonetheless, it's still worth picking up for all U2 fans. I will continue to report on what to look for, and what my recommendations are.

One more thing, I mentioned a couple of posts earlier that there is a fan film for Mega Man, I would like to present the link for the movie, and for those who are interested, check it out here. It's actually pretty decent, but keep in mind that it's a fan film, and this isn't a big budget film.
