Movies I've seen this summer...
Star Wars - Ep. III - we talked about this before
Howl's Moving Castle
Great movie. Miyazaki's the best anime director and this shows that again... between that and the fact that it's a fantasy story and I love fantasy, not much to complain about. :) (a couple of minor things, but nothing major...) Go see it if you can (it's still playing here, in its third week at the local arthouse theater...). B+/A-.
Batman Begins
Very good movie... wasn't sure if I was going to see it but all the great press eventually convinced me to. And it was good. I liked it a lot more than the Spiderman movies (I saw both and didn't really like them...). A/A-.
Fantastic Four
Simple summer action movie... it's what they were trying to make and they succeeded. Is that good? well... sure, if you come in expecting not much (or are a 14-year-old boy...). Just decent enough I don't regret going. Hmm... rating... I don't know, C+/B-? It doesn't try to do much, but what it is trying to do it does pretty well...
That's it for theater movies, I think.
