    Okay, things are a little slow around here. How about you critque the Suimmer movies that you've seen...



    We went and saw The Last Airbender. The boys and I were fans of the cartoon, so we couldn't miss this one. The story line is good, the special effects are pretty well done, and the dialogue is so-so. It was really neat watching them do tai-chi movements and seeing the elements bending. I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10.

    Dayna and I went and saw Predators last week. We loved it because we like the Predator movies and thought it was cool. I would give it a 7 out of 10.

    Oh and this summer we saw toy story 3. Loved it! 9 out of ten stars only because of how much 3d movies cost at the theater.

    The last summer movie I saw was Julie and Julia and the last 3D movie I saw was Captain Eo. Do either of those count? πŸ™„



    I'd like to see Inception. I'd also watch Salt because I'm sure the acting is good. πŸ˜€

    I can't say for sure because I haven't seen them, but they didn't strike me as one's I want to pay theater prices for. Angelina is fine to look at, but the previews didn't do anything for me as far as the plot goes. And isn't inception the new weird movie with Leonardo DiCapprio? Ya, that looked pretty weird.



    I'm holding out for September 😁

    You paid for Toy Story but not for Angelina? Maybe I'm not the one with the problem. πŸ˜‚ Inception is DiCapprio. Based on the previews, the visual effects looked theater worthy to me.

    im going to have to agree with john on this one. angelina is hot but the movie looks like a redbox rental to me. also the dicapprio movie looks good but not good enough. i'll wait to get it via my netflix for that one.

    That place was great. It was out in the middle of a tomato field. In high school we used to go park out there, drink beer, and make up our own dialogue for the movies πŸ˜‚
