Summer Movie List

With Memorial Day upon us, summmer is officially here adn my second favorite time of the year for movies. While Summer generally pales in comparison to the oscar bait the Winter provides, in terms of caliber and quality of films, I still love to watch shit blow up and that's what summer is all about. With Wolverine and Star Trek out of the way the field is wide open for me to waste a bunch of money/be thoroughly entertained. I figured if I wrote out what flicks were coming out in advance it would save me some time, money and also give you guys an idea of what's coming out when too (you can check out trailers by clicking on the titles.)


Terminator:Salvation While I’ve been a fan of Christian Bale for over a decade, Anton Yelchin is the high school boyfriend I always wanted and have been drooling over Sam Worthington for a number of weeks now, the 'Common factor' (the fact that the every movie the rapper is in turns out shitty) was 1 of my major drawbacks and not that McG has duped me 1 time too many into loving the craptastic masterpieces he helms (Fastlane and Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle anyone?) But I decided a few days ago my appreciation of ridiculous explosions and hot guys would win out.

UP (5/29) If the trailer for this movie doesn't make you smile- even just on the inside- you have no doul

Hangover (6/5) Quite possibly THE comedy I'm most excited for. (I've had a crush on Bradley Cooper since Alias & am pretty sure it's not gonna fade anytime soon.)

Moon (6/12 limited) I'd watch Sam Rockwell in almost anything...but preferably Charlie's Angels over and over and over and over and over again...

Transformers (6/24) I used to be a robot, gotta support the Autobots.

Public Enemies (7/1) Starring Johnny Depp & Christian Bale and directed by Michael Mann, there's no doubt I'm seeing this movie

Bruno (7/10)

Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince (7/15)

500 Days of Summer (7/17)

Funny People (7/31) Eric Bana and Leslie Mann are the main reasons why I want to catch this.

Julie & Julia (8/7)

District 9 (8/14) There's just something I find really intriguing about this film

Paper Heart (8/14)

Taking Woodstock 8/14

Inglorious Basterds (8/21) Tarantino + Pitt + WWII flick + gratuitous violence + Pitt's
ridiculous stache = me being there for a 12:00AM showing

The Boat That Rocked (8/28)

Flicks I'm still on the fence about
Land of the Lost (6/5) while I love Danny McBride and Anna Friel, I still have the iconic craptastic quality of the original show burned into my memory. Plus Will Ferrell already duped me into seeing him in "Bewitched" & there's only so many shitty "reimagings" I'm willing to pay to sit through.

Taking of Pelham 123 (6/15) I think it's the Travolta as villain factor that's not really pushing me to check this out.

Year One (6/19)

GI Joe (8/7)

Want to but will prob wait for DVD
How To Be (4/29) I love an endearing indie,especially if it's musically related, but I'm pretty sure this wasn't and won't be released in The States.

Away We Go (6/5 limited) The only reason this movie fell into this category is because it probably won't be released here, even though it shot for a week last summer in Morningside.

The Proposal (6/19) I love Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds but am trying to avoid romantic comedies

Cheri (6/26) Only because this probably won't be released anywhere near me

Ugly Truth (7/24) [See what I wrote about "The Proposal" and replace SB & RR wuth Gerard Butler] plus I'm not really a fan of Katherine Heigl

Post Grad (8/21) I spent almost a 3rd of my life watching Gilmore Girls, but don't need to watch a movie about an existence similar to the one I'm currently living.
