Back to School...

so, I've been away, more or less, all summer. Long summer. A lot of changes, but I'm back, more or less. A quick summer review, then when I get a chance, some new reviews.

So, this summer/fall, I've seen the following movies (with 1-5 points)
-Pirates of the Caribbean 3 (3)
-fun, but a bit too long and with some too-depressing parts. Still, I love me a good ship and ocean battle

-Ocean's 13 (3)
-again, fun, but too long. still, I loved all the returning characters, and felt it was well worth the wait

-Live Free or Die Hard (3)
-silly but fun and enthusiastic

-Transformers (2)
-too much, and except in the cases of a few of my friends, too confusing and pointless

-Harry Potter 5 (4)
-well done, better than the other movies, and who couldn't love Luna and Neville?

-the Simpson's Movie (3)
-ever want to see a super-long episode of the tv show? watch the movie

-Stardust (4)
-well done, fun acting, and one of the few times I've liked Claire Danes. I love Robert Deniro, but then, I already did.

-Superbad (4)
-so funny that I couldn't stop laughing. In fact, it almost made me sick. Brilliant, touching, heart-felt, and revolting. Highly recommended

-3:10 to Yuma (5)
-just oh so very good. Fantastic, brilliant acting, and I've never been so attracted to Russel Crowe. In fact, it was the first time I didn't find him innately offensive. Classically entertaining, with a new, more human touch to the old favorite cowboy theme. I recommend this movie to anyone who appreciates action or character studies... it pulls off both.

Well, there's that for now. Go out and watch a movie!
