June Movies: Toy Story 3, Knight & Day, Eclipse & The A-Team..


Recommended Posts

:unsure::devil::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: for Toy Story 3!!!

 

The surprising thing to me is how dark this movie is, nevertheless, there are plenty of hilarious moments, some great new characters(Lotsa Huggin Bear & Ken), and you may need some tissue during the ending.

 

Pixar has done it again.

I never actually saw the 3rd Shrek, so I don't know what happened at the end of that one, but I kind of missed having Donkey sing a song before the end credits.

You did'nt miss much by not seeing Shrek the 3rd.

 

After having seen both Shrek Goes Forth & Toy Story 3, it is amazing how far ahead Disney/Pixar is over Dreamworks/PDI.

Speaking of Knight & Day, because early buzz is positive 20th Century Fox has now bumped up it's release date to Wednesday, June 23. It will have a whole week of the box office to itself before Eclipse comes out.

 

Went to see Knight & Day.

 

:)

 

The good news is that I won free tickets to see this movie. The bad news is that I still had to pay for $8 popcorn and $4 soft drinks.

 

My observations:

 

- Another movie where actors and actresses try to play characters that are 10 to 15 years younger than they are in real life.

- This movie has a high CPU (audience cell phone usage). A lot of people checking their e-mails during a movie is never a good sign for a movie.

- I can make better CGI on my laptop.

- Another secret government plot.

- Another device that doesn't exist in real life.

- Magically, a female character who has never fired a gun can suddenly fire one like a professional.

- Tom Cruise suffers from the dreaded Hollywood disease where hair gets darker and thicker as he gets older.

- It's one helluva body count for a PG-13 movie.

- Cameron Diaz must have a clause in her contract that pays her extra for each scream.

Saw Grown Ups this weekend. It was so obvious that it was nothing more than a series of one-liners by stand up comedians. That being said it was still a decent movie. On our next camping trip after a bunch of :):lol::lol: I'm going to try to get everyone to play arrow roullette!
