Summer Blockbusters ... a look back

It's no secret that Beth & I love movies (our first date was STAR WARS: Episode I)!  This summer there have been lots of blockbusters and we've gotten to see most of them.   My number one criteria for a good movie (as you will see) is NOT the plot's believability or some powerful "moral" theme; I just want the movie to be entertaining, the acting to be good, and the plot to move at the right pace.

Honorable Mention: The latest in the Harry Potter saga.  I had never seen these movies before or read any of the books; however, I have to say the creativity and special effects were amazing!

#4 -- The Proposal -- my summer's best "chic flick":  funny & entertaining with solid acting.

#3 -- TRANSFORMERS part 2 -- lots of action, good special effects and entertaining

#2 -- G.I. JOE -- some nostalgia here as I collected and played with these action figures when I was little ... the movie was full of action and the plot moved quickly; good effects.  This movie was a close second to ...

#1 -- STAR TREK -- how surprised I was at this one!  I had never seen a Trekkie movie before and WOW!.  The story was compelling, the acting excellent with lots of good action and timely humor.  All of that combined have made this movie one I'll see again ... sometime in the not so distant future.
