- Wolverine: Yeah, I'm pretty much a 12 year old boy. I wasn't that excited until I found out that both Ryan Reynolds AND DOMINIC MONAGHAN are in this!!! I think all the hype for Hugh has drowned out any mention of other actors, but now I am psyched.
- Drag Me to Hell: A woman gets a curse put on her for foreclosing on a witches house! By Evil Dead creator Sam Raimi, this is a horror movie that actually looks good.
- Night at the Museuem 2: I loved the first one (again, I think I'm 12), it was one of the best kid's movie I've seen in years. It makes museums cool again!
- Easy Virtue: This looks really entertaining. Jessica Biel marries into a stuffy English family and when her hubby brings her home to stuffy mom Kirsten Scott Thomas, hilarity ensues. Set in the 30's, looks really fun.
- Little Ashes: In a possibly ingenious casting choice, Robert Pattison (of Twilight) plays Salvador Dali!
- Transformers 2: More Shia Labouf= a better life.
- The Hangover: Go watch this trailer on iTunes, it looks HILARIOUS. Three guys wake up in Vegas after a bachelor party with a baby (not theirs), a chicken, and a missing groom. Ed Helms is one of the three and test shows have gone so well they've picked up a sequel already.
- Away We Go: I'm hoping this is the "Juno" of this summer. John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph are preggers, and they are trying to figure out their life. Angsty, funny, awkward, I can't wait.
- Cheri: Finally, Michelle Pfeiffer doing what she does best- playing an alluring retired courtesan in beautiful period costumes. Shes great.
- Moon: Sam Rockwell, alone on the moon in the future, flips out and goes "Solaris". Should be fun.
- Harry Potter 6: You know who (but not that you-know-who) kicks the bucket, and Snape finally gets to shine.
- (500) Days of Summer: Adorable looking, it looks like the "Garden State" of happy romantic comedies of sorts. Joseph Gordon Levitt and Zooey Deschenel, what a perfect couple. I'm very excited for this pairing.
- Inglorious Basterds: I am so interested to see what Brad Pitt will be like in this Tarantino gore fest about Jewish mercenaries going after Nazis. I think it will push some buttons, but I'm excited.
- Ponyo: A new Hayao Miyazaki ("Spirited Away"). Doesn't matter what its about.

great line up! it looks like i'm going to have a lot of 10 dollar, air conditioned afternoons.
ReplyDeleteAm...I a 12 year old boy, too, then? Because I'm SUPER EXCITED for Wolverine. And I'm pretty sure I'm not a boy. ;D
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of a lot of these, but I think I'll have to have a look at all of them, since the ones I have heard of I really want to see. <3 Thanks for the suggestions!
