Get Smart Review

Last night I got to see the movie "Get Smart", I found the movie to be very funny. The cast of the movie was great, especially Steve Carrell. I never saw the original TV show, but I found myself laughing out loud when watching this. I recommend it.

The Incredible Hulk review

I just caught The Incredible Hulk last night at my workplace. Let me start off with the question, "Is it better than the 2003 version?" Yes it is. Everything about this version is better than the 2003 version. I remember seeing the trailer for The Incredible Hulk a few months ago and feeling like this one wouldn't achieve much at all, well I was wrong. I found myself really enjoying this movie. There was plenty of action. Edward Norton did a great job as Bruce Banner, along with the rest of the cast. Also, you get a cameo by Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark. I do recommend this movie. Thumbs up!

Also this weekend, The Happening is released. This will be M. Night Shyamalan's first R rated movie. So far, the reviews for the movie have been heavily negative. I remember when The Sixth Sense came out 9 years ago and how much attention it got, and how everyone was looking forward to his movies, and how much they love the twist ending. It doesn't seem like his recent efforts in the thriller/suspense area are too great. I never saw The Village or Lady in the Water, but I didn't hear great things from them.His next movie will The Last Airbender, which is based off the cartoon Avatar by Nickelodeon, they are doing a live action version of the cartoon and he will be directing. I look forward to see him try something else.

On DVD this week, Jumper and The Bucket List along with other releases. I bought Jumper on Tuesday, and watched it already, the quality of the DVD is good.

Weekend recommendations

Just wanted to let you know that last night I saw Kung Fu Panda, and I recommend it, especially to those who have kids, it is something great for the entire family. I found the movie to be entertaining, it had a good story and it was funny, and of course the animation was good. That is my big recommendation for the weekend.

Next weekend is the Incredible Hulk and the Happening. I have been scanning through a few reviews of the Incredible Hulk and they seem positive, so there is hope that this one is better than the one released 5 years ago. When I see it, I will let you know what I think.

June looking good

Well, I hope all of you have had the chance to see Indiana Jones 4, it was a good film, I had the chance of seeing it again last night. It was really exciting to see Harrison Ford cracked the whip again. The movie just about everything that made me enjoy the original movies. There were a lot of good films that came out during the month of May, I have enjoyed what I went to see, like Iron Man, Speed Racer, Chronicles of Narnia, and Indiana Jones. Hopefully other films this summer are just as good. We have a pretty good looking month coming up. Next weekend, we have Kung Fu Panda and You Don't Want to Mess with the Zohan, they should both be funny. The following week is the Incredible Hulk, the one that was released years ago wasn't that great, hopefully this one is better, but we will have to see. The weekend of June 20 is the release of Get Smart, and it looks really funny. Following that weekend is the release of Wall*E. There are other releases as well, so it should be a good month.

Also in the month of June, I will get the opportunity to go over to Hawaii for a week and a half, I am very excited as I have never had the opportunity to go there before.

What can you do with $130

Well, I can tell you something that I did with $130. On Saturday I was at Circuit City looking around and I happened to find a Sony Surround System on clearance for $127, I was shocked at the price and it looked like a decent system. I went back two days later to purchase it and there I found that they had knocked it another $7, so now it was $120. This surround system was a home theater in a box, contained the receiver, the five speakers and the sub woofer, it had 5.1 compatibility and could decode Dolby Digital and DTS. All this for under $130. The speakers are small, but being in an apartment, it worked out just great. It's funny how expensive things are getting these days like gas and other things, but sometimes you can get lucky and get something rather cheap, like a Sony Home Theater System on clearance. And it is a pretty good one too!

Here is a recommendation for this weekend, go see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, it is very good. I got to see it today with my fellow employees at the movie theater, I really enjoyed it. Or if you can't get in, there is also The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, which I also enjoyed as well. Or, go see Iron Man if you haven't already. There are some good choices today, even a few other good choices at the movie theater. Have a great night.

Weekend update

Well, this weekend, Iron Man remained the king of the box office. Speed Racer unfortunately didn't catch that much attention. I think that's too bad because Speed Racer was a good movie. I got to see the night before it opened. It was a very different film than I have seen before but I found it to be very enjoyable. Iron Man, nonetheless, was very good, and anyone that hasn't seen it yet should check it out.

As for DVD releases this week, Indiana Jones arrives again, this time you can buy the movies separately, and each of the DVDs feature new special features. Now is your chance to get them if you haven't already, they are very good movies, especially Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, I didn't care for Temple of Doom that much, but it still has it's moments. Also tomorrow, Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe come out on Blu-Ray. There are other releases like Mad Money, didn't see it and not really interested in seeing it, but anyone that wants to check it out, go ahead. Next week, National Treasure 2 comes out on DVD, I am excited for that. I am also looking forward to this weekend for Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.

Well, have a great day.

New Dark Knight Trailer online

Hey everyone, well yesterday I got to download the new trailer for the Dark Knight, and it looks great. As they reveal more of the movie, I get more and more excited to see it. Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker looks very impressive. We are also introduced to Harvey Dent, who is played by Aaron Eckhart. I am very excited to see this movie.

As well, the new trailer for the Indiana Jones movie came out late last week. Also, that looks good, I am excited to see it.

Anyone check out Iron Man this weekend? I got to see it. It was awesome, it was a lot better than I was expecting. I recommend it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. It grossed over $100 million in the US this weekend, which was more than analysts were predicting. It was a really good movie, recommended!

Also, just to let you know, this summer I am working at a movie theater. So now I will get the opportunity to see the movies before they come out.
