Summer Blockbuster Smackdown 2008, Week 13

Another double feature last Sunday (the 2nd of the summer!). Began the day with HELLBOY II, then snuck next door to join CHARLIE MURPHY (no, not the real Charlie Murphy) and his buddy for WALL-E, just in time for the opening short. The verdict WALL-E by K.O. I'll sum it up with a snippet from my review:

"Wall-E is Pixar at its fundamental best – smart, clever, cute and visually phenomenal. Plenty of people will see Hellboy II, and most will enjoy it. But everybody should see Wall-E, and most will love it."

Updated Standings:
1.) Iron Man
2.) Forgetting Sarah Marshall
3.) Wall-E
4.) Hancock
5.) Get Smart
6.) The Incredible Hulk
7.) Kung Fu Panda
8.) Hellboy II: The Golden Army
9.) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
10.) The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
12.) Speed Racer
13.) The Strangers
14.) Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay
15.) You Don't Mess With the Zohan
16.) Wanted

Reactionary thoughts: Both HANCOCK and HAROLD leapfrogged up a spot due to lasting entertainment factors (longevity, people!) while INDY is about to be knocked out of the top ten. All in all, it's been a pretty good summer at the movies. And TDK and PINEAPPLE EXPRESS are yet to come...

I have nothing to complain about
