Three movies - Erik Hanberg

Three movies

Midnight in Paris, Super 8, and The Hangover Part II

Midnight in Paris is a Woody Allen comedy. It's his best movie since Match Point, and his best comedy since the mid-90s. Owen Wilson is great, and the supporting cast is too. This was a summer charmer.

Super 8 was good. It's exciting, it's funny, it's touching, and the kid actors are really great. This was a fun movie. It's directed by JJ Abrams, and produced by Spielberg, and it's definitely got flavors of both of them. It's not 100%–there's some stuff that doesn't quite work, but a lot that does. It's a good summer blockbuster.

And The Hangover Part II was quite good too. Not nearly as funny as the first, but still good. Basically, they took the plot of the 1st movie and duplicated it almost exactly in Bangkok. And it worked! It was pretty funny.
