The Summer Rap-Up

As we all know, school has started and the summer has sadly come to a close. NOOOO. This also means that the series of great movies has also left us for this year and we will most likely have to wait until November to see some good movies again. Like I did last year I am going to list my favorite movies of the summer. It's hard to put these in order because I actually like all of the movies on this list but some were better than others.

10. Night At The Museum: Battle of The Smithsonian: This film was on the borderline of enjoyable and not good. There were hardly any laughs and it didn't have the fun that the first one had.

9. The Proposal: This was a fun romantic comedy(best one I saw this summer) with plenty of laughs and good acting but it just was not as impressive as some of the other films this year.

8. Terminator Salvation: This was a very fun action film, sweet effects and an ok story. The problem with this film was that it didn't have much heart, but I'll still probably buy the movie if I have extra cash

7. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: We're dealing with the same thing as Terminator here...great CGI, lots of robots, and an ok story line. This film was too long and it got a little repetitive with the robots fighting the entire film.

6. Up: Once again Pixar has thrilled critics with another great animated film with comedy, great animation, and heart. This film had such a creative and fun story and a heartwarming message which is...watch the film and you'll find out.

5. Star Trek: I never watched any of the old TV series but the movie was great. This film had just about everything including action, suspense, drama, romance, and heart. The script and pacing of the film was also well done.

4. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra: Watching this last action film for the season(for me) was a great way to end the summer. The script and character development could have been better but I still really enjoyed this one. It would probably be in my top three if I had a..."Top Movies to Wacth with my Friends" list.

3. Angels and Demons: I never saw The Da Vinci Code but from what I've heard, Angels and Demons was a lot better. This film

was so suspenseful, fun, and had great twists that kept me guessing the whole movie. I also thought that the score for this

film was amazing as well.

2. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince: You have to love the Harry Potter films. This one was probably my second favorite and it had the best acting and script in all the films. What the sixth installment of the series managed to do was balance the darkness, romance, and comedy so that there was a perfect amount of each in this movie. There could have been a little more action in the end though.

1. X-Men Origins: Wolverine: I don't care if you think I'm crazy but I've loved Wolverine and the comic book world since I was five and this film only pushed my love of the genre to a greater level. I loved this movie and it had the best action than all of the other films this summer. I was siked for this one and I was not disappointed. BEST FILM OF THE SUMMER.
