I am very new at this so here goes. Last years movies where a mix bag. Hope thes yera 2010 will be better. I write about bad movies on my site/blog. Love the bad movies from fourties and fifties. I also talk about the more recent movies as well. These movies might do well. Clash of the Titans. The first one was very bad. Sex and the City, it still seems to be very poplar. A – Team the jury is still out on that one. Will see. Shutter Island was had to follow. Did do well at the box office. Will see what the rest of the year brings. Thank for reading. Let me know about any and all bad movies. Lee

Tarantino’s the man. Take that stupid Rachel and your stupid bad acting in your stupid and terrible movie.

I respect the freedom of those watching (and critiquing/criticizing) the films to choose whether or not they like the films…as many have already stated, people have opinions and hold to them AND (quite often) share them.

To that end, I disagree that this was a bad summer for movies (profits aside). “Star Trek”, “District 9″, and “Up” were excellent films. “Harry Potter”, while full of changes from the source text, was still exciting and entertaining and had me anticipating me the coming 7A and 7B films…and I DID read and LOVE the whole series, as well as ancillary/extra materials (__Beadle__, etc.). “Transformers” was a fun vegetable film (I, being a visual person, enjoyed the Robots, themselves). “G.I. Joe” and “Terminator” were the “bad” movies good enough to see and like. Are they Oscar-worthy? OF COURSE NOT…Did I feel happy (and for certain, specific moments thoughtful…?) when I walked out of the theater after each of these two? YES.

On the other hand, I couldn’t figure out WHY people would want to see “Year One” and The Hangover” or the two “mall cop” movies (though, I think one of them was technically before the summer), but then, hey, that’s the essence of differing views.

As for “Inglourious Basterds” and “Moon”, I haven’t seen them yet, but I hope to go–or see them at home–at some point.

I fully expect opposing ideas and opinions to fly at me now…GOOD. Bring ‘em on…Just keep it civil

There are only at least FOUR movies that I had really enjoyed this summer:

*PUBLC ENEMIES
*TERMINATOR SALVATION
*INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS
*X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERING

The rest I had merely enjoyed, tolerated or disliked.

All in all, the summer of 2009 was not a great season for films.

I stayed as far away from the theater that I have in a long time. I saw Wolverine and Fast & Furious suck donkey c**k, I knew the summer was in trouble.

I stayed away from obvious dreck like GI Joe, Transformers 2 and all that.

I saw all of the “diamonds in the rough.” Most of them were actually good.

Not really, but I don’t see how Robin Hood, someone who robs and kills people just because they have money, can be a “hero.” So what happens when he gives too much money to the poor and the poor becomes rich? He’ll then have to rob or kill them too?? Come on. It’s improbable for someone to successfully rob a large number of people based on bluff alone, he’ll HAVE to kill to maintain his reputation or else nobody will yield to his demands, which is why Robin Hood can only exist in the story books. And only someone young and/or naive would actually consider what he does noble.

Oh wait, I take that back, there are entire populations of idio… er… people who believe in that ridiculous concept…

If you include pictures of “Up” and “Star Trek” in your bad movie collage, you’re a tool, plain and simple.

I feel like next year might be a boring year for me. Of course Iron Man 2 is at the top of my list, but that’s about it. Toy Story 3 and Iron Man 2… What else is there? Robin Hood? LOL, what a lame story and an overly idealistic premise for a “hero.” When is Tron coming out? Next year right? Oh yah, so it’s Iron Man 2, Toy Story 3, Tron, The Expendables, and is Clash of the Titans a 2010 release?

This summer failed to generate the excitemnt many summers in the past has…After May it was all downhill (because of the let down of Wolverine, Angels & Demons and Terminator)except for D9..never had the opportunity to see The Hurt Locker or Moon as they never played in my area.. I liked TF2 for what it was…a Michael Bay action movie..yes it’s not Kubrick doing 2001 or Scott’s Alien but I had a good time watching it..Were there things I could have gone without ..sure but I knew going in that there was going to be that sort of foolishness so I prepared myself for it..It had great action sequences and I got to see Optimus kick some @$$ in that forest scene and at the end..I was really waiting for that…To me that was worth the price of admission..

Haven’t scene Star Trek(GASP!!!)..we have three little boys and are new to this area so we don’t trust anyone enough to leave our children with so going to a movie is a luxury…
