Ring of Fire - Excellent. I really liked this one. The only thing keeping it from being superb is that I didn't understand why one of the groups in the movie hated on Denzel, despite his actions. Regardless, this one was really good, had some interesting twists, and wasn't overly complicated.
White Chicks - Average. It tries too hard to be funny. Too many akward moments with shrieking girls being blonde. Tries to teach life lessons, but ends up being about as successful as Jerry Springer's speech at the end of each show. The really muscular black man saves this movie. I can't think of his name right now, but he's really funny, and stands out as being the funniest aspect of the movie.
Garfield - Average. It's cute, and the animation is good. The story works, but the target audience is probably 13 year olds, which is probably why I didn't love it.
I-Robot - Mediocre. Will Smith worked out for this movie, and regardless of whether you care or not, you will know. Instead of following the movie, my friend and I counted the number of scenes in which Will's new tightened physique was shamelessly thrown at us. It was more than five.
Dodgeball - Excellent. I preferred Anchorman more, but Dodgeball is a great movie, and very funny. There are tons of references that can be used with friends after seeing it, and Ben Stiller plays a great role. It also has inspired the creation of dodge ball leagues all over the country, which probably says something about it's quality. Dodgeball and Anchorman were highlights this summer.
Anchorman - Superb. I really liked this one a lot. It had a lot of totally random humor, which I am really a fan of. It won't win awards, but it was really funny, and that is what I paid to see. This and Dodgeball were easily the two funniest movies I've seen this summer.
The Village - Mediocre. Left way too many questions unanswered, and I didn't "get" many things in the movie that I can't really discuss without spoiling.
Alien vs Predator - Average. I've never seen Predator, but I saw a few of the Alien movies. The action was there, as was some suspense, and the ending was decent.
I also watched the Chris Farley and Will Ferrel SNL Greatest Hits DVDs, and they are a blast. Very funny, and some great skits were selected.
