Movie Review

I'm not going to lie, one of the downsides to working at camp last summer was missing out on all the summer cinema, I missed a lot of excellent movies in the theater. Oh well, it was more than worth it, let's be honest. However, this summer, I plan on seeing every movie that I want to. I started this week with two, The Proposal and Transformers.

The Proposal:

Fairly classic chick flick. Not my favorite of Sandra B., but still really funny and enjoyable. I saw it at the drive-in last night which was a first for me, but I really enjoyed it, the weather was perfect and I just had a blast. But back to the movie. I would say dollar theater or redbox it, or drive-in, but I wouldn't pay 8.50 for it. It was funny though, really.

Transformers:

AMAZING!! Best action movie since Ironman in my opinion. I wouldn't rank the awesomeness quite as high as Ironman, but pretty dang close. I don't remember much from the first Transformers, but I was completely enthralled with this one. It is a loooooon movie, but I didn't even realize til I walked out of the theater how long I had been sitting. The story is predictable, but the movie is still fabulous. I sat there thinking how it was kind of pathetic that my heart broke a little bit when Opitmus Prime got stabbed through the heart (since robots have hearts?) and fell dead to the earth. But for some reason it made me sad. The action in the movie was great, lots of planes, lots of bombs, people jumping out of airplanes, evil gone good, it was great. There were a few parts that were slightly inappropriate and not necessary, like the guy ripping his pants off just to his underwear, but oh well. The leading actress did pretty good. The majority of her lines were "SAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!" in her best damsal in distress manner, but she looked great doing it which is what they pay her for. There was a lot of great leadership and heroism in the movie though that just kind of pumped me up and made me want to go change the world. Because of cars that turn into robots. Who knew? Oh, also...Lennox...gorgeous, just an FYI.
