Summer Movie Update

This has so far been a dissapointing summer in terms of films for me. Which is weird...because I am the easiest to please when it comes to them. And the critics are usually much more harsh. However, either the critics are getting lazier, or I am setting my standards too high.

Film..................................................Rotten Tomato Rating | My Rating | My Review

Moonrise Kingdom..........................94%  | 50 % | Pretentious, Overrated, Tried to be deep but was just weird

The Amazing Spider-Man................74%  | 69% | Beautiful 3D (Close to Avatar and Titanic), Incredible Soundtrack, too similar storyline, tried to be darker but wasn't, Spider-Man is not a hipster.

Ted.....................................................69% | 58% | Whereas Family Guy is hilarious and offensive, this is even more offensive and not that funny

Brave ................................................76%  | 65% | Not up to par with other Pixar movies

Beasts of the Southern Wild..............85% | 90% | Stunning characters, artistic department, cinematography. Story could have picked up a bit at the beginning

Next on my list to see: Katy Perry, Magic Mike, Dark Knight Rises, Ruby Sparks

Then I take a break until Oscar season.

Stay tuned!
