‘Cause if I can’t see you then you can’t see me
-- Anna Nalick

So yeah, I’ve been hiding, avoiding blogging for a little bit now. Sorry about that. I just don’t really have anything interesting to say. Happy belated birthday to Chris and America! Yea!

So it is summer movie season and I’ve seen a bunch. I’ve yet to see something that I just LOVE, though. I’m hoping my friend Johnny Depp will bring it in Pirates. So here are my thoughts on 2006 summer cinema (don’t worry, I won’t spoil anything, promise):

The Break Up – liked it, didn’t love it. But I do love Vince Vaughn and I’ll always have a soft spot for any of the Friends. The breaking up and arguing got old to me after a bit. And I don’t know what all the hub bub about seeing Vince and Jen together was all about – to see if they have chemistry or not. This wasn’t a hooking up movie, hello, title? So those that went for that reason apparently didn’t know the name of the movie. Team Vaughniston all the way, though. I’m so over Brad.

Cars – cute, but not definitely not up to Finding Nemo or either Toy Story. And plus Owen Wilson sort of grates on my nerves and I don’t know why. It was harmless fun and there were a few good jokes for the grown ups. The soundtrack was a huge plus.

Nacho Libre – Now I love Jack Black and I really loved School of Rock, but something was missing in this movie. It could just be that they pretty much showed all of the funny parts in the trailer. This one is definitely a renter, or better yet a late night cable rerun to catch in a couple of years.

Mission Impossible 3 – Pretty good and that’s considering that I think Tom Cruise is a total whack job. I just love JJ Abrams so much (Lost, etc.) that I wanted to see what he would do with the franchise. This installment was much easier to follow and Phillip Seymour Hoffman was a fantastic villain. The action was good, I was pleasantly surprised. Yea for JJ. Hate that crazy Cruise’s antics ruined the chance for JJ to have a huge blockbuster on his hands.

Superman Returns – don’t believe the hype. Well, I shouldn’t really say that. It was good, but I’m no superhero expert. I thought Brandon was pretty stiff (but oh so pretty) and I have developed a new loathing of Kate Bosworth – something was just off with her in my opinion. I mean, Superman was gone for 5 years and he comes back and she has a boyfriend and kid. And what is Kate in real life, like 23? She’s just too young for the part and she lacked a edge that Lois should have. But like I said, I can’t really comment on this one too much. I thought Kevin Spacey was great, but wasn’t he a bit too old? Again, what do I know.

Anyway, that’s pretty much all I could think of writing about, y’all. Hope everyone is well!
