The Green Hornet 3D

I do not know what made me watch this film; I did not know what I expected to see. I guess I wanted to see an action film...I wanted to see Bruce Lee again.

As I sat in my seat watching this film I felt like getting up and walking out. First, I think I am over Seth Rogen’s acting style and movies.  Second, I realized that I hated watching the Green Hornet television show. I only wanted to watch the parts with Bruce lee. That meant that I had to tolerate 94% of the show focusing on the other guy (the Hornet) just to see the remaining 6% which contained Bruce lee. All of which made the whole show, like the movie, a grand disappointment.

Recommendation: I don’t recommend that you see this movie in the theater. In fact, leave this movie on the shelf!

Starring: Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, Cameron Diaz, Tom Wilkinson, Christoph Waltz

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

Just the nap I needed!  That’s right, I saw another installment of the Harry Potter franchise and it put me to sleep as usual.  I walked into the theater filled with excitement and 15 minutes later I blacked out.  (The first 15 minutes are usually engaging; I am drawn in by the technological spender that is Harry Potter.)  After my 40 minute nap, I awoke only to realize that I did not miss much at all!

Recommendation: Needless to say, I do not recommend watching this film or any Harry Potter film in the theater.  Do, however, take it home as your 1st DVD pick!

Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Alan Rickman, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson
