This entry is about a week late, give or take it, but I had my reasons. (Looking for work and the fact I wasn't feeling well a few of those days). Anyways, now that Summer has come and gone, I think I'll go ahead and recap my summer movie experience.
All in all, I managed to see 29 films this summer. About 26 of those 29 times were of different movies (3 of them I saw more twice). Out of the movies I've seen twice, Green Lantern was the most disappointing one. As a matter of fact, if I had an award to give out for most disappointing movie, this one would win it. I went in expecting better than what I saw. I only saw the film twice, because I had a free movie ticket. In hindsight, I probably would have been better giving it away.
There were your usual blockbuster's that in my opinion lived up to the hype (Transformers 3, Harry Potter, Captain America, although there wasn't as much hype around this one), and there were movies that were surprisingly better than what you'd expect, and in that sense Rise of the Planet of the Apes is my pick for biggest surprise of the summer. I would have listed The Help as biggest surprise, but in my opinion, it wasn't a surprise. As a matter of fact, I'd also place it in the category of movies living up to the hype, if not, surpassing it. I saw this movie twice during the summer, and I do want to see it again for a third time, but I don't think I want to see it alone to be honest with you. I've already seen it alone twice. As a matter of fact, I'd be willing to guess that 22 or so of the movies I saw this summer, I saw alone.
