Not a good day for the opening of
films! Let's see we have "Honest Abe" wielding an ax in order to kill
vampires. It might be pretty good, if you can wrap your head around one of our
past presidents killing monsters instead of delivering his famous speech that
starts with "Four Score and Seven Years ago".
Then we have an a young red-headed Irish
lady wielding a cross bow, in the film "Brave". In this she is very
independent, and not "lady like” and it kills her mother that she
wants to find a man she really loves to marry. As opposed of being set-up
because back in the dark ages (LOL) women were chosen the man they would marry.
Cute I am sure, but a video rental maybe.
No way on "Men in Black
III", just not a fan of the franchise. So, I think we may go with
"Seeking a Friend for the End of the World", which stars Steve Carell
and Kiera Knightly (she just looks like an alien to me sometimes - watch her in
"A Dangerous Mind" and you will know what I mean). Not much left that
I have not seen, such as "Prometheus" with Charlize Theron and another
film with her acting in the same way "an ice cold witch", "Snow
White and the Huntsman". Anyone who comes across a film that they like,
that is in the theater, let me know.
I am, however looking so forward to
seeing the new "The Amazing Spiderman", with Andrew Garfield and Emma
Stone. It’s so darned cute, because they are a couple in "real life".
Just like Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, from those infamous vampire
films - The Twilight series, which they are one of my guilty pleasures. Okay,
it’s true I know way too much about pop culture. I mean it’s plastered all over
the magazines they have set for you to gaze at while you are waiting to pay for
you candy bars and such. Anyways, I way digress...I saw the trailer for the
Spidey film in 3D whilst waiting with much anticipation for
"Prometheus" to start (waiting since the trailer teaser came out in
December 2011). I think that perhaps, Andrew Garfield may be even better than
Tobey Maguire. Shush don't tell anybody, just joking of course.
In the end of this ranting and raving
about lack of good summer films this week, maybe I will just rent a flick for
$1 at the Redbox or check out what is on my que for Netflick streaming. I am
thinking that "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World”, may not be even
screen worthy, and instead a rental for down the road. OH! How I long for
"The Dark Knight Rises in July just like the new Spidey film...I guess I
will just have to be patient.
Here are some trailers of the films
