June Movies

Knocked up comes out today and looks to provide the 40 year old virgin fun of last year.

Then on June 8th is Ocean’s 13 and the actors involved make these movies worth it.


Then on June 15th we have Fantastic Four 2. It doesn’t have to be good, just better than the first one and I think everyone would be happy. Man we’ve lowered our standards.

Pirates 3, better than 2, more epic in nature.


Pirates 3 comes roaring across the screen and just looks more suited for the summer multiplex than 2’s over hokey humor and hamster ball effects. The story actually holds up nicely considering there are times when you’ve got 50 actors all with speaking lines, and Johnny Depp gets plenty of time to act with himself. Pretty well done, nice atmosphere and its Pirates! A plus!

back to the blog!

O.k. should be mostly caught up, Ill be back on here regular for a while. Some things that piqued my interest this week,
food poisioning, nintendo media summit, B.P.R.D., LOst theories, The fall tv lineup, and a wonderful store in downtown Iowa City White Rabbit. It’s all local artists, t-shirts, prints and music and ts really a awesome store. Go check it out.

Hot Fuzz


Finally saw Hot Fuzz today and where it’s not quite as good as Shaun of the Dead it still provides plenty of humor. A very good sendup of the cop-hero genre and just altogether ridiculous at all the right times. The guys from Reno 911 could learn something here.
