Speaks Out: Best movies of summer 2011

The Daily Bruin took to Bruin Walk and asked “What was the best movie you saw in theaters this summer? Why?” Here’s what fellow Bruins had to say:

Ben Gunter
Second-year, graduate student
“Source Code”
“I thought it was pretty original. I like sci-fi thrillers, that kind of thing. Jake Gyllenhaal was great. Pretty good.”

Ji Lee
Fourth-year, linguistics
“Crazy, Stupid, Love.”
“I think it was different from other romance movies, like chick flicks. My guy friends really loved it too even though it was romance. It was really cute, it was funny.”

Mariam Montoya
First-year, women’s studies
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2″
“I really liked the graphics and how it was displayed.”

Meghan Sweeney
Fourth-year, anthropology
“Rise of the Planet of the Apes”
“I really liked it. … I’m a really big fan of the original series and so it was kind of neat to see how things started out.”
