In high school one of my passions was journalism. I was the editor in chief for my school paper and also a guest movie reviewer for the teen section of the Kansas City Star, my favorite part of which was watching films one or even two weeks before they premiered and then writing scathing or gushing reviews. This summer as an old man, I have been watching many movies and now I’ll share with you some of my “expert” opinions:
Evan Almighty
-Slightly disappointing. I found 40 year old Virgin hilarious, so with Carell’s new movie I had quite high expectations. I thought Evan Almighty would be a clever, light-hearted comedy but I found the film a little surface level and predictable (spoiler! there’s a flood at the end). 2.5/5
Ratatouille
-Pixar has never failed me, now add Ratatouille to their list of successes. Pixar just has a magical, Disney early-90’s formula of great characters and deep story lines that warms my heart. 4.5/5
Transformers
-Rather than warming my heart, Transformers got my heart racing and kept me glued to my seat. With past success like Independence Day, Armageddon and Bad Boys, director Michael bay has proven himself the master of action films. The film was wildly entertaining and certainly worth the terribly inflated prices of DC movie tickets. 4.5/5
Movies I still plan to see: Ocean’s Thirteen, Die Hard, Harry Potter.
