Summer Movies

  • Cars: This one should make a lot of money but with kids movies I usually wait until my little cousins get it on DVD and watch it with them.
  • Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest: I never saw the first one and have no desire to watch this one either.
  • World Trade Center: I am not ready for this one.
  • Miami Vice: This one should be interesting but I will probably wait until it comes out on DVD to watch it.
  • Lady in the Water: Any movie of M. Night Shyamalan is worth shelling out 9 bucks. However, this is not a summer movie and I don't see how it is going to compete with all other big movies.
  • The Da Vinci Code: Ever since I read the book I have been anxioulsy awaiting the release of this book. I have to admit though I have not been very thrilled with the previews. I am also having a hard time seeing Tom Hanks as Professor Langdon.
  • Superman Returns: This is the movie I have been highly anticipating ever since I heard it was coming out this summer. Hopefully it will be a good one.
  • Mission: Impossible 3: This movie is coming out tomorrow althougth I won't go and watch it. With finals and all starting this weekend, it may be a movie I may end up watching when its released on DVD.
  • The Devil Wears Prada: This chick flick should be good but it will also will have to wait until DVD release before I see it.
  • X-Men: Last Stand: I really enjoyed watching the last 2 X-Men movies and part 2 left me wanting more. This is the kind of movie I will go and watch on opening day.
  • The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift: The first two were terrible and I don't expect anything less with this one.
  • The Lake House: Another movie that should not be coming out during the summer.
  • Just My Luck: I will be surprised if this movie makes more than 10 mil on its opening weekend. I think Lindsay Lohan's 15 minutes of fame has ended.
  • Little Man: Sound like another terrible black comedy.
  • My Super Ex-Girlfriend: It was written by Simpsons writer Don Payne so it probably means its a movie you should wait until it comes out on TV.
  • The Break-Up: Vince Vaughn is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors and this flick will definetly be one I go and watch at the theaters.
  • Click: It has been a while since Sandler has made a movie I have enjoyed and chances are this will be another one that I will dislike.
  • Nacho Libre: Jack Black is overrated.
  • Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky: I liked Will Ferrell on SNL, Old School, and Wedding Crashers but did not like him in Anchorman, Bewitched and Kicking & Screaming. So I will wait on this one as well.
