I wasn't planning on it...

...but I saw Get Smart again today. My sister and nephew wanted to see it, and I went with them because I had nothing else to do today! It was better the second time- I was able to hear the jokes more. I missed a few because there was so much noise (especially laughter!) the first time I saw it.

Planning on seeing Hancock and WALL-E this week- but I also may end up going to see Indy 4 again!

The summer movies really haven't interested me much this year. After Mamma Mia! and The Dark Knight, there isn't anything else I want to see.

Some silly fun!

I saw You Don't Mess With the Zohan today. It was hilarious. Adam Sandler is not normally my cup of tea, but this blend of ridiculous plot and wacky characters won me over.

imdb.com summary:

"An Israeli Special Forces Soldier fakes his death so he can re-emerge in New York City as a hair stylist."

Yep, that's the plot. Absolutely insane, but fun. Nice little "Can't we all get along" message, too.

Would you believe...

..Get Smart is actually good? I laughed all the way through it. Hooray for Steve Carell! Bigger hooray for Alan Arkin as The Chief! It wasn't brilliant, but a fun romp and a fine adaptation of the television series. Three stars.

Also on the summer movie front, I loved Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, despite some re-used plot devices and the bizarre ending. I plan to see it again. I'll write a longer review then. Three and a half stars for now!

I'm probably going to see You Don't Mess With The Zohan this week, then Hancock. I'm looking most forward to Mamma Mia!, though.
