2010 Summer Movies Awards

So I've seen 6 movies this summer, and again I will award my awards for Hollywood's big blockbusters.

The movies I've seen this summer are the following. Iron Man 2, A-Team, Eclipse, Toy Story 3, Karate Kid and Inception. I think compared to past years, this summer was a bummer in the movie category. There were still some good movies out there, but compared to past years and what is to come, I think that it ranks as a low grade summer.

Best Movie – Toy Story 3
Best Dude – Jackie Chan : Mr Han : Karate Kid
Best Dudette – Kristen Stewart : Bella : Eclipse
Best Scene – The end of Toy Story 3 when Andy goes to college
Best Fight – Dre Parker vs 6 other kids : Karate Kid
Biggest Dud – Iron Man 2
Anticipated Sequel – The Avengers / Iron Man 3 - They have to do something better I would think.
Summer movie not seen that I want too – Expendables and Prince of Persia and Robin Hood

Eclipse

Ok, so my wife loves the Twilight series. The whole vampire/werewolf thing gets her engrossed. She like underworld but on no level of where Twilight is with her. So if you haven’t heard, the latest movie in the saga came out this past week, Eclipse. Now I’m not a big fan of the series, and I’d like to see Blade slice Edward in half, but going to a movie is going to a movie! We went to the Indianola theater, which was cheaper than anywhere in Des Moines, and reminded me of the theaters I went to when I was growing up. Kind of nice change. But as for the movie, it was actually pretty good. A lot better than the first two films. I’d say it’s more like an Empire’s Strike Back in the movies order. The acting was better, the action better. Still pretty cool seeing people turn into werewolves. So I’m giving it 2.5 stars out of 5. It’s probably #3 or #4 on the list of movies I’ve seen this summer.
