Summer ends this weekend, so it's the best time to look back at the summer movies I've seen...
Star Trek (May 8) - Shockingly fun and smart with a charismatic cast. Perfect popcorn summer movie. B+
The Brothers Bloom (May 15) - Quirky storytelling with quirky dialogue said by quirky characters. I'm sort of in love. A-
Terminator Salvation (May 21) - Lacking much needed substance, but not as bad as everyone has been saying. B
Up (May 29) - It's Pixar. It made me cry several times. What else do I need to say? A
Transformers 2 (June 24) - Complete and utter waste of time and this coming from someone who liked the first film. C-
Harry Potter 6 (July 15) - One of the better installment of the series, it contained lots of heart and humor while still being oh so very depressing at times. B
500 Days of Summer (July 17) - All you need to know is it's about this incredible guy falling in love with a pretty girl who doesn't share his feelings. It's perfection. A
Julie & Julia (August 7) - Five words: Meryl Streep as Julia Child. Her performance like the movie as a whole was utterly delicious. B+
Time Traveler's Wife (August 14) - A decent adaptation of the book, but I expected to cry more. B
District 9 (August 14) - Like most I didn't know much at first and like most I was completely obsessed with it after screening. Wow. A
Taking Woodstock (August 26) - Perfect movie to see at the of summer. It was leisurely paced and completely charming. A-
So that was my summer in movies. I know there's still tons of movies I didn't catch like The Hangover and Inglorious Basterds. Anything other summer movies I should catch up on later?
