Sounds like Summer...

One of my favorite things about summer is the new movies that come out.  I love going to the movies, getting popcorn and being blown away by CGI and awesome story lines.  I usually will never blog about movies that I see or what I think of them because everyone has an opinion on what they like and what they don't.  Today will be an exception.  I get a call from our worship minister who wants me to go with him to see X-Men Wolverine on Friday night.  Natalie and I were just talking about how both of us wanted to see that movie.  So I of course I told Natalie that this was God's will and I must follow his leading.  We get there for the 9:15 showing and there were a lot of people there.  I had seen many of the previews and I really like comic book movies.  I was huge fan of the Saturday morning cartoon on Fox and read the comics when my mom use to take me to eat lunch at the drug store.  I'm no expert on movies or comics but I like them both.  We get there and see some awesome previews for the summer and I am so looking forward to...

GI Joe 

Transformers 2

Star Trek

Funny People

Terminator Salvation 

So of course when the movie starts I am so ready for it.  We sit there and half way through I am thinking, "Where is the story line, these fight scenes are corny, why is there a baby in the front row crying?"  After the movie I can honestly say I was disappointed.  It's not that the movie was bad, it just had potential for greatness.  The Chicago Sun Times said it best, "It has pretty pictures with no plot..."  I agree.  So if your a movie buff like me then wait until it comes out on DVD.  I will say that this summer is going to be good with all the movies coming out.  

In short I am ready for summer for many different reasons and I hope you are to.  This will probably be my last movie review unless I see some movie and it is great like The Dark Knight was last year.  If I would have been blogging last year I so would have talked about that movie. So do yourself a favor and take sometime off to go to the movies with your wife and or worship minister.  If there is a baby in the front row crying in the middle of the movie when the movie is PG-13 try to hold yourself back from coming up to them and asking, "What in the world are you thinking?"  Enjoy the movies...
