Four movies

It's Sunday afternoon and I don't feel that well so I might as well blog about four movies that I saw in theaters, but didn't have enough time to write a full theater report for each. Ahh... not enough time, the constant excuse of a lazy blogger.

Kung Fu Panda

It seems that Pixar is the only animation studio that consistently comes up with great stories. But Kung Fu Panda has a good and funny story. It's nice to see Dreamworks come up with something good aside from the Shrek franchise (where storywise, #1 is the only one that I really liked) . And I found it really funny, though not as funny as I thought it was based on the what I've heard prior to seeing it.

Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

The company's movie night pick for June. Visually-stunning just like (and more so than) the first one. The story is much darker this time, and I was literally on the edge of my seat during the battle scenes (and not because the seat was damaged). I was bored at some parts in the first movie, but not in this one. Didn't like the song that got played during the credits, though, not because it was bad, but more because it didn't feel right and didn't fit the movie as a whole.

Maid of Honor

If you've seen My Best Friend's Wedding, you'll most likely not like this one at all. Aside from the premise there's no other similarity between the two films. There are no laugh out loud moments and there are no dramatic-romantic moments. All six of us who went to see this movie, agreed, it was just silly.


Get Smart

I love it. I'm not familiar with the TV series that this movie was based on, but I thought it was going to be another Johnny English (which isn't that bad because I love Rowan Atkinson type of comedy). But this turned out to be something more. I mean Maxwell Smart was, well, smart unlike Johnny English. He's just not adept at field agent work that he always wanted. And Anne Hathaway was very good as Agent 99. We saw this a few days after seeing Maid of Honor, which we hated, and it sort of made up for that bad movie.
