Summer Movies!

<p>What summer movies have you, or are planning, to see? And without giving spoilers, what did you think of it?</p>

<p>I want to see District 9 and the new Final Destination.</p>

<p>everyone watch district 9. right now.</p>

<p>I’ve never heard of any of those:/ Are they any good? The most recent movie I saw was Knowing. I’m not sure when that came out though.</p>

<p>I haven’t seen them yet but District 9 looks really good.

<p>District 9 and 500 Days of Summer were both great. Both are rather unconventional films too.</p>

<p>I’ve heard District 9 is supposed to be about apartheid. </p>

<p>[I haven’t actually seen it. Don’t know if that’s correct or not.]</p>

<p>^ lol were you in the CCislulz chat last night?</p>

<p>If you mean me, no. I wasn’t, sorry.</p>

<p>oh lol just wondering. we were talking about that word and the movie. yea you had to be there !</p>

<p>No, sorry. I snuck a peak at the thread in the college cafe and saw them talking about apartheid and district 9.
I wish I could go see it tomorrow</p>

<p>So far I’ve seen:</p>

<p>District 9- Very good. Interesting action, yet surprisingly deep
Funny People- Not as funny as I thought it would be. Dissappointing
The Goods- Some really funny scenes/lines but not exactly a family move :slight_smile: See if you like stupid comedy.
Harry Potter 6- Awesome movie, but didn’t follow the book AT ALL
Transformers 2- Cheezy action movie with awesome special effects
G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra- Same as Transformers, without the robots</p>

<p>District 9 is the best movie i’ve watched all summer. </p>

<p>@WantsBrown - District 9 is actually about aliens who eat cat food. But if you look deeper into the movie you’ll see the metaphor the movie has with Apartheid.</p>

<p>Up – amazing first 20 minutes
Funny People – decent for the first half, then it kinda dragged
Harry Potter – very good, the sex scenes were kind awkward though</p>

<p>I want to see
500 Days of Summer
District 9
Where the Wild Things Are (that’s coming out this summer right? Idr)</p>

<p>Seen:

  • Harry Potter
  • Funny People
  • The Goods
  • District 9</p>

<p>To be seen:

  • 500 Days of Summer
  • The Time Traveler’s Wife</p>

<p>And yes, District 9 was about (or included elements of) Apartheid.</p>

<p>The Proposal- One of the best, funniest romantic comedies I’ve ever seen! More comedy than romance so it’s guy-friendly as well. Not to mention it’s got Ryan Reynolds, yummm ;)</p>

<p>Harry Potter- Funniest one yet! I totally loved it.</p>

<p>Want so see:
District 9
Time Traverler’s Wife</p>

<p>

lol @ the catfood. prawns who eat catfood.</p>

<p>I want to see District 9, Harry Potter, Orphan, Final Destination (I don’t know if I can stomach it, I’m weak with horror flicks), Time Traveler’s Wife, and My Sister’s Keeper.</p>

<p>WHEN is that new Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland movie with Johnny Depp coming out? I feel like I’ve waiting forever. I really want to see this.</p>

<p>I only saw Harry Potter this summer. Wow. </p>

<p>I actually saw a bunch of other movies at home, but they weren’t recent. Although I did become a fan of Ewan McGregor. </p>

<p>I’m actually curious about the Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland Movie, too. It seems interesting.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Does not compute!</p>

<p>For some reason I have no inclination to see 500 Days of Summer. Zooey Deschanel annoys me and it seems like your typical “quirky” cutsy indie Juno wannabe. </p>

<p>Harry Potter
Julie and Julia</p>

<p>Both were good. Everyone complained about the lack of action in the 6th HP but I think it was a good decision to make this one lighthearted, because you know the last two are going to be completely Voldemort/Horcrux-centric. </p>

<p>Julie and Julia - french cooking and meryl streep. nuff said.</p>

<p>Public Enemies was a bit of a letdown, but Depp was good as usual. </p>

<p>Drag Me To Hell - I have no idea why it wasn’t a bigger hit. Frankly, I think it’s sad that Saw IVIVIII or whatever got so much box office revenue while Drag Me To Hell got so little. It was one of the best movie-going experiences I’ve had in awhile, alternately freaking or laughing.</p>
