Summer movies - what's worth watching?

1. Iron Man - Watch it. You won't be dissapointed with the action, story, and dialogue. Robert Downey Jr. does an excellent job portraying this anti-hero. It's a smart action movie for the adults. Plus, the Iron Man suit is aweome-o.

2. Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - Watch it. If you liked the first installment, you will like this one as well. It's actually better than the first movie. It's more mature. It's got a darker story-line. The battle scenes remind me of "The Lord of the Rings." The winged creatures remind me a little of "Harry Potter." And these are both good things in my opinion if you are fans of both. There is one scene which is heart-wrenching and reminiscent of a scene in "Platoon." Added bonus: Ben Barnes.

3. Speed Racer - If you are in debate whether you should see "Speed Racer" or the other two movies listed above, skip this one. It's definitely not as good as "Prince Caspian" or "Iron Man." The movie is colorful and candy-like except it's on speed or LSD. It looks too much like a cartoon, but I guess that was intentional. The story never grasped me. I didn't care too much about the characters either. The special effects didn't impress me that much. It was loud, fast, and colorful, but for some reason, it didn't wow. This is a very mediocre film. Bonus: If you're a K-pop fan or Korean nationalist, you get to see Rain's Hollywood debut.

4. Harold & Kumar - Skip it and wait for it to come out on DVD. There were some laugh-out-loud moments, but overall a terrible movie. You might want to watch it a little buzzed.

5. Baby Mama - Skip it and wait for it to come out on DVD. If you're a Tina Fey and Amy Poeler fan, this movie may be funny. It's got some funny moments. It's a cute movie, I'll give it that, but not worth the $10 admission ticket.

I'm waiting on:

6. Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

7. Sex and the City

8. You Don't Mess with the Zohan

9. Dark Knight

10. Get Smart

11. Wall-E
