I guess its a kick-off to the summer movie season, but Wolverine is basically a CG film with less than stellar CG where a mildly interesting character is given the task of carrying an entire film, and sadly, hes just not enough.
Science Fiction
Star Trek
One of the most fully enjoyable movie-going experiences Ive had in awhile, Star Trek is exciting, funny, looks great, and offers the perfect balance between re-inventing history and paying homage to its roots.
Watchmen
The director of 300 has once again taken a classic graphic novel and brought it to the big screen with obvious affection, and while that sometimes makes this a little too literal of an adaptation, its still full of truly special effects and super performances.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
A decent venture into the world of Star Wars for the kids, The Clone Wars offers bad dialogue and subpar animation, but should hold the interest of younger viewers and is pretty harmless.
The Happening
Nature turns mean, but not as mean as she could be in an R-rated movie, in this uneven wanna-be horror film.
WALL-E
Once again, Pixar has crafted an Oscar-worthy film in a genre a lot of people dismiss as kid’s stuff. No mere cartoon, WALL-E delivers on all levels AND packs in some pretty relevant statements on the state of the world to boot. Plus, it’s quite possibly the best love story of the year.
