Hollywood Hills

The weekend is just about upon us, so now’s the time to think about what you’re going to see at the Midway Theater, or those other little ones on Austin or Metropolitan. Or if you’re feeling particularly high-brow, a jaunt to the Kew Gardens cinema might be in store.
The problem is this summer’s movies have been underwhelming! Where’s Steven Spielberg, Jeff Goldblum, sharks, Will Smith and dinosaurs, aliens, Nazis?? Where did they all go?
I think Hollywood is suffering from a bad case of laziness. No, making a bad movie and then turning it 3D won’t fool me! But it sure seems to be just the thing for the teenage demographic. I guess that’s why they keep making them.
By the way, Sex in the City 2 was not nearly as bad as the critics said. It was just as good as the first one, which means it’s fun while it lasts and then easily forgettable after. Not a bad way to kill a couple of hours on what’s supposed to be a hot summer weekend.
