Enjoy your beach time on Coney Island, I'll take an awkward but chilling angle at the Lincoln Plaza, the Battery Park Regal, the 84th or 68th AMC any day. And maybe some of those delish pretzel M&Ms, my summer addiction.
Cyrus is the right choice if you are feeling wistful, in need of some thoughtful relationship character drama, a couple of Jonah Hill-inspired laughs (wow, HIS career!)...some quality time with Marisa Tomei and John C. Reilly -- really great chemistry and solid performances. Like Meet the Parents without the sneakiness.
Inception is beautiful to look at, inventive in some aspects, a portfolio piece for Marion Cottiard ...but overall a little lacking in the backstories of the characters, the nuances of the individual dream worlds...sometimes slow and ponderous (those familiar with Dark Knight and Memento might find that shocking for Nolan). I know I am in the minority of the masses, but the company of the critics in this opinion. See for yourself. Pinwheels.
Despicable Me has great animation, a silly, easy, and warm plotline with some cuddly characters and a surprisingly good soundtrack (Pharell?).
The Kids are All Right was just a delightful little family drama with a powerhouse cast and a mainstream portrayal of a lesbian couple, their teenage kids, and their sperm donor. Efficient with its screen time. Interesting to see this door be opened, albeit with Annette Benning and Julianne Moore. Small steps.
Telepan on 69th and Central Park West. Why can't every week be Restaurant Week? The Corn Souffle...the gourmet s'mores...the summer squash. mmm...
