~SUMMER MOVIE RECAP ~

The first topic of the new magazine will be written by me... Since summer is about to end... Lets us recap bout the summer blockbuster movies that been hitting theaters every week...


Most of the movies were bout the prequel and sequel... From SPIDEY to PIRATES to SHREK ... The 3rd installment for each movie came out... But of course there were new movies such as TRANSFORMER to the oldest family in small screen to hit big screen... Here are the TOP best summer movies in 2007(not in sequence)...

1.'Spider-Man 3'

- Spidey (Tobey Maguire) has a more formidable foe: his own inner demons (he embraces his dark side). He also battles three villains: Sandman, Venom and New Goblin, and juggles two women! It was the first summer blockbuster to be released. I did not watch the movie as I never watch any of the SPIDERMAN installments but overall the movie was given a good review.

2. 'Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End'

- Let’s see now, about 6 BILLION people around the world, even me saw 'Dead Man's Chest' and were at the edge of our seats when it ended. Prior to that, we'd thought only 'LOTR' could get away with a cliffhanger. But then came Jack which takes us to whole new level. But sadly the 3rd installment is not that flattering. Overall we get to see JOHNY, ORLANDO and KIERA … *wink*

3. 'Live Free or Die Hard'


- John McClane (Bruce Willis), the iconic badass who single-handedly took down two terrorist organizations on two separate Christmases, is back to battle something he hates more than Hans Gruber: Internet porn (and by "porn" we mean "terrorism"). Yippee-ki-yay, motherf!&#er! The whole movie has so many actions, butt kicking and BRUCE is still so hot doing it although he is 47years old …

4. 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'


- We've read (and re-read) the books, we know the story. But the fun of the 'Potter' series is watching the actors grow and seeing how the director puts page to screen. Overall the story line was just normal. The only reason why want to watch this movie is because of wanted to see how the directors bring the story into the big screen. Damm disappointed with the 3rd installment…

5. 'Ocean's 13'




















- George Clooney, Brad Pitt and posse once again got together and partied, or as they call it, "shooting a movie." The most enticing development: Andy Garcia turns from foe to friend, while Al Pacino fills out the villain's shoes. Never watch the movie but reviews say that it was good. Hey, who cares bout the story line when there is BRAD, GEORGE and MATT …

6. 'Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer'



- Well, I thought the original 'Fantastic' was fun, but maybe not so, um ... fantastic. We have higher hopes for this one. Silver Surfer is an ambiguous character (he sets up other planets for destruction in order to save his own); we're intrigued by how it'll play out. Overall the movie was just OK. At least u gets to see JESSICA ALBA in tight spandex…

7. 'Shrek the Third'



- Shrek (Mike Myers), Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) set out on a quest to ... bring 'Sexyback'? Actually they'e off to find a young King Arthur, voiced by Justin Timberlake. Expect tons of celeb cameos, fairy-tale puns and probably a few farts (courtesy of Shrek). Best animated movie so far. It’s the best animated movie for this summer…

8. 'Transformers'















- Michael Bay delivers a live-action flick based on a '80s cartoon about robotic aliens kicking each others' asses on Earth. Sounds preposterous, but it's jam-packed with cool effects, action and Bay's signature talent for blowing stuff up. The whole movie caught my attention from top to toe. SHIA, JOSH + MEGAN, you guys (oops… and gals) are damm hot… watch it 3 times and still I could not get enough of it …

9. '28 Weeks Later'



- Danny Boyle's lo-fi horror flick '28 Days Later' scared the living crap out of us. The prequel is just normal. You get to see zombies and deserted town of LONDON… did I even watch this one???? Hmm…

10. 'The Simpsons Movie'


- I’ve only been waiting for a big-screen version of 'The Simpsons' for six years or so. Watch the cartoon since young and now the movie is so nice and humorous. Plot details have been scant, but it's got blockbuster-sized adventure, and everybody in Springfield appears. HOORAY!!!!

11. 'The Bourne Ultimatum'


- The final installment of the Bourne series. Fresh off the powerful but heavy 'United 93,’ Paul Greengrass has high-octane entertainment in his crosshairs. He promises the third Bourne flick will blow away its two predecessors, as Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) finally uncovers the mysteries of his past. And, yes, there will be a car chase. Who knows in the future there will be another Bourne installment?? The new AMERICAN Bond??

12. 'Rush Hour 3'


- Chris Tucker hasn't appeared in anything since 2001's 'Rush Hour 2,' which can only lead us to believe he's poured every ounce of soul into this third go-round. Of course partner Jackie Chan returns, but we're intrigued by the year's oddest casting choice: Roman Polanski in a bit part. The movie was funny with Chris and Jackie gimmicks. Overall, a very fun family movie…

13. 'Evan Almighty'


- It’s a summer movie but it was showing in M’sia quite late. Well, drop any other actor in this premise -- a man is tasked by God (Morgan Freeman) to make like Noah and build an ark -- and we'd be skeptical. But given its Steve Carell, we're keeping the faith this sequel to 'Bruce Almighty' will be hee-larious. Sadly say so, it’s NOT. BRUCE ALMIGHTY is soo much nicer. Both STEVE and JIMMY are good comedians but the story line is little bit outrageous/cookoo…

14. 'Ratatouille'


- It doesn't take much to get us psyched about a Pixar film. But this one's directed by Brad Bird- ('The Incredibles') and has a quirky storyline about a foodie rat, which means Pixar's about to knock our socks off ... again. Genius can be SO predictable. But rats and cooking… I doubt that … anyway not that recommended as the story line is little bit plain…

THATS ALL FOR SUMMER .. if you all never catch it on the cinema .. there is always DVD ..
