Four Movies...Two Weekends

So this is just a quick blog to let you all know what my thoughts are about a couple movies that I have seen recently. Last weekend consisted of the Transformers on Friday night and Hairspray on Saturday night! Transformers is a guy movie to the core. It is full of action and hot girls (which if I may say so, no one looks that good in real life..no one) but it is also full of amazing one liners that had me laughing for hours. All in all I enjoyed the plot and the outcome and it was truthfully entertaining. Hairspray was completely different. A musical to the core it had me from the first scene and I want to get up and dance with the characters like I was part of the "Corny Collins Show." The music was amazing and the only thing that I think could be better is the actual musical. And to add to all the wonderfulness that makes up Hairspray, John Travolta plays a full blown fat woman and does an amazing job. Then this last weekend Geron and I did a (very legal)double feature and saw The Bourne Ultimatum and No Reservations. Bourne is true to the genre and an all around excellent film..just be prepared to become a little nauseous because most of the movie is not shot on a steady cam so it is very shaking. I didn't really notice until the movie ended and I realized that my stomach was a little upset. The best part about the film was the interesting themes that they reused from the first movie. Then we rushed over to the next theater and No Resevations turned out to be the perfect way to end the evening. It was a fun and entertaining romantic comedy. It had some heavy issues but they didn't overpower the film and that usually doesn't happen. But because it had those heavier issues it made it more than just the usually romantic movie and turned it into a very well made film. All four movies are well worth your time and your money. All you need is a good friend (or friends...or family), some good treats, and you will have yourself a wonderful time at the movies.
