Summer 2008 Movies - The Final Results
At the beginning of the summer I blogged about how I was not very good at getting my butt to summer movies and I wanted to change that this year. I listed all of the movies that I had some interest in seeing and hoped to see as many of them as I could. Well, the summer is over and here are the results of my efforts:
Iron Man - Saw it and thought it was very good.
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - Didn’t see it but will probably catch it on video or cable.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Saw it. It was your cookie cutter Indiana Jones movie.
Kung Fu Panda - Didn’t see it. My interest in it has waned and will only watch it if my nephew is watching it.
You Don’t Mess with the Zohan - Didn’t see it but still want to.
The Happening - Didn’t see it and from what I heard I’m glad I didn’t. I haven’t heard anything positive about this movie.
The Incredible Hulk - I didn’t see it and this is one of two movies I am not happy I missed. I definitely will see it once it comes out on DVD.
Get Smart - Saw it and enjoyed it. But that probably has a lot more to do with the fact it starred Anne Hathaway then anything else.
The Love Guru - Didn’t see but still want to.
Wall-E - Saw it and liked it.
Hancock - Saw it and liked it. It had an interesting story line.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army - This is the other movie I missed that I rally wish I hadn’t. Definitely gonna catch it on DVD.
The Dark Knight - Saw it twice. ’nuff said.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Believe it or not I still have not seen this. I’m just not motivated to do so. I don’t think it has anything to offer me as a Star Wars fan.
One movie originally not on my radar was Tropic Thunder. But that quickly changed when I saw the first trailer for it. I did go and see that so that’s one more feather in my cap. (BTW, I thought it was hysterical).
So I saw only about half of the movies I wanted to see but I consider it a victory as that’s a lot more then I can claim in years past. That means less catching up to do this winter. Maybe I can focus on new TV series like True Blood.
How did you do with seeing summer movies this year?
