You know, in my non-updating of this place...I haven't really talked about the summer movies, i have seen thus far.

X2: X-Men United


A great movie. Was boring a little stretch but I had few complaints. This showed that the first X-Men flick was just a set-up.

The Matrix Reloaded


If you asked me a day after the movie came out, I would have given it four stars for the freeway scene alone. If you asked me after I saw it the second time, I would have given it two and a half bceause of the boring ass scenes in Zion and my brief obsession with how pompous a character Morpheus really is (Can this guy engage in any conversation without sounding like Othelo?). But as time has gone by, I have settled on three stars because of my appreciation for the story and twists that I am still wrapping my head around. How far does the rabbit hole go indded?

Finding Nemo


The visual presentation by Pixars always top-notch. You go in expecting no less. But how come the writers at Pixar so much better than the writers at Disney. That is what they should be wholly concerned about losing. Disney these days cannot not create a viable character. On a side note, this movie was intense at moments and I heard a child in the back scared to the point of tears. Ellen Degeneres is the best.

The Eye


Granted I missed the first 25 minutes of the movie. It was more intense at times than scary but I must say this, i hate the score during romantic moment s in Asian films. When it's suposed to be scary tjhe music, while overwhelming, is fine but in those dramatic moments, it's horrible and really takes away from the movie. That being said, the scene in the elevator was great. It will be interesting to see the inevitable American remake (the rights have altready been secure by Tom Cruise production company)

So far that's all that I have seen this summer. Next up, The Hulk. I will be back to talk about the assholes bitching about the CGI
