Review of My Summer of Love (2005) by David H — 30 Jul 2005

MY SUMMER OF LOVE ? MY SUMMER OF LOVE is about the friendship turned romance to two English girls over one summer, featuring the amazingly beautiful Emily Blunt, as well as IN AMERICA?s Paddy Considine. MY SUMMER OF LOVE has an interesting look to it, and I can?t say I liked it, or that I disliked it, but it was odd, and at times, fairly distracting. Still, though, it?s good drama. 8/10.

MURDERBALL ? MURDERBALL was a really amazing documentary. It has moments of sorrow, of happiness, and everything in between. MURDERBALL was the original name of Quad Rugby, but, the film isn?t about the sport, it?s about the participants, and their lives. Muderball is one of the best films of the year so far! 9/10.

CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTOY - I was very surprised by how much I liked CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTOY. It was, perhaps, the most satisfying summer blockbuster of the year so far. Depp is brilliant. 9/10.

THE WEDDING CRASHERS ? Also very surprised by how funny this film. It?s no OLD SCHOOL, but it?s damn funny. And I think I'm in love with Rachel McAdams. 8/10.

THE ISLAND ? Again, very surprised by how good yet another film is. And I hate the fact that shit like FANTASTIC FOUR can make a shitload of money, yet amazing films like THE ISLAND can totally tank. While not being as good, THE ISLAND is just behind MINORITY REPORT and I, ROBOT in terms of great, sci-fi action films. It?s pure entertainment, with fun action (how can you not love two Ewans?) and good acting, nice special effects, and a cool story. 9/10.
