Movies I've Seen in a Theatre this Summer

Okay, we subscribe to Netflix so I have to really want to see a movie to spend $10 in a theatre. That’s why this list is quite small.

Ironman
I thought this movie was well done and presented a very realistic type of Superhero. I love the fact that Tony Stark uses his new hero status to try and redeem the work he did out of greed.

Indiana Jones – Crystal Skull
We actually went to see this while on vacation in Ocean City for our anniversary but the projector died and we had to get our money back! I went expecting another lame follow-up, but I actually thought it was a decent attempt. Kristie thought it was pretty lame.

Hancock
The whole concept of an out of control superhero was entertaining. The major plot twist half-way through really threw me for a loop.

Dark Knight
They weren’t kidding that this movie is “dark.” The underlying theme of the whole movie concerned whether humankind had any speck of kindness or was wholly selfish in its actions. Even Batman was not exempted from this question and the movie left a cloud over his motivations. Heath Ledger’s Joker was very disturbing. He did a good job in personifying evil. At one point, he acknowledged that there was no plan, no concern for money…he was only after complete chaos. That would be an adequate definition of evil. Although this movie was compelling, it was a little too dark for my tastes.
