Summer Movies

I just realized that my last post was also about making a movie, haha.

Me and Will have been thinking about making a movie for a long time, and now we're finally getting the details worked out. We're working together with his friend Chris.
The movie is going to be about an online game that develops a virus which attacks the players. It probably doesn't sound too exciting, but that's just because I can't explain it very well!

I'm very excited about this ^^
In case anyone is interested, the three of us made a blog in order to share our ideas with each other and work out the kinks of the movie. Decoded Blog

Also, I figured that since I work at the movie theater, I should give my opinion on the movies that are out and give recommendations on what to see.

Thor - I didn't think I'd like it very much, but it totally proved me wrong. I loved this movie! It's about Thor, of course. But in case anyone doesn't know who Thor is, he's the son of Odin (would it be correct to call Odin the god of thunder?) Thor's people have been at war with the ice giants, but Odin was finally able to form a truce. However, Thor still distrusts them, so he attacks them, breaking the truce. Odin banishes Thor to Earth, and he spends the movie basically seeking a way to return home. It's a good mix of action, humor, and drama. The fantasy aspect is also very interesting. I totally recommend seeing it!

Priest - I tried to go into this movie without any expectations. It's about a world where humans and vampires have been at war for ages. And they're not Twilighty vampires, they're monstrous slimy guys without eyes. So the catholic church created a group of people trained for life in the art of killing vampires. After it is decided that vampires are no longer a threat, the church disbands the 'priests' and the group is ordered to return to society. However, the vampires are far from done being a threat, and one priest decides to go against the church in order to save his niece from the vampire who kidnapped her. This movie is alright. I enjoyed it, but I'm not sure if everyone would. If you like dark, monster-hunter kind of movies, this is a good one to see. If not, you may want to skip this one. See Thor instead :)

Water For Elephants - This could tell you about all you need to know - the entire theater was filled pretty much solely by old ladies, generally age 70 or older. I think that many people would find this movie incredibly boring, especially guys. I enjoyed it, however. It wasn't a very exciting movie. But it was very interesting. You need to have more mature taste in movies in order to truly enjoy this movie. It takes a bit of patience.

Rio - This movie was advertised starting around LAST Summer. So of course I expected it to be an amazing movie. It was cute. But it was kind of a let down. It's about a bird who is part of an endangered species who was raised by a human. So he knows nothing of what it means to be wild. But when he's kidnapped by people who sell rare animals on the black market, he escapes and has to learn how to get by without his human. It's an entertaining watch. Go in without high expectations, and you'll probably enjoy it.
