Summer Movies!

I saw the Hasbro game based movie "Battleship". Taylor Kitsch and the tall, cool Alexander Skaarsgard as the heroes of any movie would cause me to purchase a ticket. Set in lovely Pearl Harbor, Hawaii  the resurrected  board game turned movie, involving veterans and aliens; is funny, colorful, loud and filled with "save the world action." Hong Kong takes a hit with the alien attack, wakes everybody up. The US Navy spies with its little eye an alien ship out to sea, goes all neighborly  to say "how you doin? and gets attacked for the trouble (don't you hate it when that happens) and then its on like Donkey Kong in the Pan Pacific. Directed by Peter Berg of "Friday Night Lights" this action flick  is all "boom" and not enough "heart and soul"  which would have helped distinguish it from a Michael Mann film. I am easy enough to please when it comes to action movies, but I always want the directors to add more balance in an action film, its the difference between a good action film and a great action film in my opinion.  Anyhoo...summer action movies with all the explosions, aliens, hot guys and villains,  hmmm...... time to go see Men in Black 3.  I love the summer movie season.

Summer Days!

So, its the unofficial start to Summer,now that Memorial Day Holiday has passed. I guess its time to come up with a "De-stress your Life" plan. Of course said plan will include fun. Now that I live near Philadelphia, I will have to do some sight-seeing and soak up the historic culture here. Summer being a time when things slow down; I think with the less hectic pace I can get some things done such as go to Zumba! and enjoy the summer blockbusters and relax.
