Seriously, a musical by Joss Whedon starring Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion, what’s not to like.
Update: Well it was free streaming for awhile.
After over a month of not seeing a movie in theaters, I caught 3 over the 4th of July weekend. The last movie I saw before that was Iron Man. On the 4th, I went to see Wall-E and then theater hopped to see The Incredible Hulk. Loved Wall-E! It was surprisingly dark and gloomy in the first half, which I really liked. There was also a point at the end where for a second I was like… if it ends like this, it will be the darkest animated movie I’ve ever seen. But of course, given that it’s Disney and Pixar, it ends happily. It may not be as high energy and silly as something like Kung Fu Panda, but it demonstrates mood and emotion perfectly and using robots no less.
Hulk was entertaining. They kept the thinking to a minimal and had lots of action. I could of used more character development, but not in the way of the other Hulk movie. It was fun, but I’d like to see the director’s cut with more of the meaty scenes back in.
The day after I saw Wanted. It was also very entertaining. The over the top action was unique and the style was fresh. The movie tried to make a point about taking control of your life, but didn’t translate it well in the actual movie. In ways it reminded me of Fight Club in that it tried to convey a message, except Fight Club did it better. In the end it’s just a high octane action flick.
