The Simpsons
All in all I was very disappointed in this movie. It felt like one 30-minute TV spot stretched out over an hour. Maybe there were some in-jokes that I just did not get as I am not a Simpsons fanboy, but it still seemed too long. There were a couple of side lines, like the romance and Flanders, that took up a lot of time just to make one joke. Those side plots should have been dropped to streamline the story, but then we might have been down to just a 30-minute TV spot. 2.5/5
The Bourne Ultimatum
All out action. Those three words basically sum up the movie. The plot was ok, and the dialog was a little tedious because it looks like the cameraman has had twelve cups of coffee, but the script is alright. But that is not why we are here, we want to see Bourne beat the living daylights out of the bad guys. So, buy your popcorn, and just don't think. That being said, I feel like in the end the director did not have the guts to do what was needed, so it ended up a little cheesy, a sell out if you will. Still it is one of the best sequels so far this summer, and a good conclusion (hopefully) to the series. 3.25/5
I am holding out hope for Superbad later this month.
