The Last Mimzy
The Last Mimzy caught my attention on the trailers. It brought me back to the 80’s and early 90’s science-fantasy movies. Two kids find a mysterious box by the beach and suddenly they’re using 100% of their brain power. The movie is refreshing. Very relaxing and intriguing. There was a hint of where aliens came from, the future and people from the past that had superior IQs. This is a kid-movie so there aren’t much breakneck action sequences and it moves at an easy pace – the better for us to understand the dialogue. Recommended for family viewing.
Spiderman3
Cheese and action! I enjoyed the movie although in retrospect the movie didn’t have much fiber in it. It was made to entertain to the max and it served its purpose. The almost 3 hours playtime wasn’t really necessary and the Sandman villain character could’ve been saved for the 4th instalment. There was just a lot of stereotypical elements flying around the story – Parker’s inner struggle, his ego, Mary Jane’s constant whining, the Sandman’s dilemma… nothing too new and interesting here. I was having the feeling the movie wasn’t intended for my age bracket.
It was a good watch though. Worth the buck.
Shrek3
I couldn’t remember much of the details on Shrek3 except that I had a good laugh every 5 minutes or so. It had smart humour, wit and was a complete entertainment package. As usual, it still had good morals and a touch of maturity when Shrek was having a crisis on having baby ogres. Hated the Arthur character. He was more of a pain in the ass most of the time and he doesn’t have much gravity to be able to pull off the supposed-to-be moving dialogue towards the end of the movie. Shrek could’ve delivered the script better.
Pirates of the Caribean – At World’s End
Geoffrey Rush is back! At least this time, 2 great actors gave this movie weight and worth – Depp and Rush. The second movie was I guess just a filler until they finish the 3rd one. Stunning visuals, engaging action and the scenes just pull you through their world. You taste the salt water at times and I’ve heard stories of people getting sea-sick just watching the movie. If you’re reading this and haven’t seen the movie – go watch it or rent it. Don’t waste 30 bucks on pirated copies – you’re going to miss much of the thrill and feel.
Mr. Bean’s Holiday
Mr. Bean’s Holiday is a classic – in every sense of the word. It’s the Mr. Bean style we’ve enjoyed on TV in the 90’s! Don’t overlook this one folks. It’s as close to art films as you can get and it’s even very much enjoyable. You could tell the Atkinson probably intended to compete this movie at Cannes by the way it was directed, soundtracked and filmed. If you want to relax, see this one and you’ll a get a good laugh as a bonus which is another health plus.
