movies movies and more movies

The Hulk - Edward Norton replaced Eric Bana as the hulk. I was very skeptical at first at the switch, as Eric Bana is WAY sexier than Edward Norton. lol. But, he did awesome in the role. This movie seemed to have more of a "comic bookish" feel. Almost feels like a whole new cast. It was well scripted and well done. I took my son with me, i think he was 9 months at the time. :D But anyways, go see it, lots of action, adventure and violence.

I Know Who Killed Me - Lindsay Lohan, Julia Ormond, Neal McDonough.
Aubrey shows up in the hospital with lots of bruises cuts and blood. She'd been missing, and her parents were so happy to have her home, that even when she said she wasn't Aubrey but Dakota, they just figured that she was just confused. Action, Suspense, Gore, but very good.

PS I Love You - Hilary Swank, Gerard Butler, Lisa Kudrow, and Gina Gershon
Soon before her wedding, a young lady's fiance dies and leaves her alone. Suddenly she started receiving letters, notes and packages from her husband, post mortem. All of this she lives for and only this as she gets on with her life, not moving on. A very wonderful movie that i watched soon after my hero deployed, made me bawl for the whole movie. I'd watch it again in a heartbeat.

Baby Mama - Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Greg Kinnear, Dax Shephard
Unmarried unattached woman decides its time for a baby, going through the normal channels and trying to get pregnant with artificial insemination, decides that hiring a surrogate will solve her problems. She definitely gets more than she bargained for with Angie, an extreme free spirit who agrees to be her "baby mama". Very Funny movie and oh so worth seeing over and over.

The Mummy - Tomb of the Dragon Emperor: Brendon Frasier, Jet Li, Maria Bello, John Hannah
New place, new mummy. Rick O Connell's son is now a treasure hunter as well and is in China. He finds the find of his life, as his uncle and parents come to see it. Of course, the mummy is released and its up to the family to fight it. Definitely done different this time, but still very good and well worth watching.

Hancock - Will Smith, Charlize Theron, Jason Bateman, Eddie Marsan
A not your average Superhero, wants to just be left alone. Some twists and turns, definitely worth watching. Great movie. :D

Mamma Mia - Meryl Streep, Julie Walters, Stellen Skarsgard, Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan
Based on the Broadway musical of an engaged daughter preparing for her wedding and wanting the father she never knew to walk her down the aisle. She finds her mothers diary and finds that she has 3 possible fathers, so she invites all 3, certain she'll know when she sees him.
It was a good movie, i would say great, but in this day and age, there always has to be a "shock" value to any movie, regardless of musical or not. This annoyed me, so it didn't' get a great rating from me. Aside from that 20 minutes it was great. :D

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Harrison Ford, Shai LeBeouf, Cate Blanchett
Typical Indiana Jones movie, its wonderful. Lots of Action, Adventure, and surprises. Definitely worth seeing on the big screen (if its still out where you are) but still worth seeing on any screen. Indiana is working at the college where he's from, his close personal friend and dean says that due to his recent activities that he's been under suspicion and the government is putting pressure on him to fire him. On his way out of town, he meets up with Mutt, who makes him a deal - help him with a personal mission, and he could very well find one of the biggest archaeological finds, the Crystal Skull of Akator.

Yes, I've watched a bit of movies the last few months... just now getting them taken care of though. :D last one for now

Tropic Thunder - Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr.
A bunch of actors are taken into a real life war zone, unbeknownst to them.
Supposed to be a comedy, but its just horrible... no other way to put it.. Raunchy, disgusting, insulting (to everyone at one time or another), sacrilegious, idiotic... i went into this movie expecting the best... i got the worst, starting with the trailers that they show in this movie about the "actors" in this movie... and it went downhill from there... I really wish i would have walked out the first time i thought about it (no less than 5 times did i think about it) but i was sure that there would be SOME redeeming quality... NOPE... IMO HORRIBLE..
