MOVIE OF THE MONTH - July

It's that time of the month again. Time to look back and name the best and worst movies of the past month, this time it's July. Movies have to be released to our area in the month mentioned. Box office take is not an issue. I will give you a pick for the best movie, and one honorable mention and the exact same for the worst movie of the month. So let's go!

June and July are tough months. So many of the movies are animation, or action based, so this month when I pick, it's based simply on entertainment value, or lack there of. This fall and winter there will be plenty of time to review the higher end flicks, but for now it's summer.

Best movie of the month - July

Despicable Me - This is 2010's Up! A really well done, well written animated fun movie. The character development was outstanding for an animated film. Loved the voices too. The three little girls in this movie were show stealers. Just flat out good and fun

Honorable mention best - July

Inception - To be honest I didn't review this movie well at all. And there are still a bunch of things in this movie I didn't care for=, including the length. But there are some really well done effects here, and some good imagination. Plus a real good cast. It's the summers big hit. Undeniable.

Worst movie of the month - July

Salt - A good idea just fumbled away. But the character Evelyn Salt is cartoonish, and not at all believable. 100 pound Angelina Jolie can kill dozens of grown FBI and CIA agents with her bare hands in mere seconds. This becomes very video- gamey. PLUS if you're going to have a major plot twist at the end, maybe we shouldn't all know it an hour before it happens.

Honorable mention worst - July

Predators - This is the second month in a row that Adrien Brody made this list. Last month it was Splice. There was really no reason to remake this movie, or whatever this was. Silly, boring, and what's the point?

Check back in next month. Feel free to e-mail me your thoughts too scott@wqmx.com See you at the movies!
