Movie season is upon us
It is funny how the big budget movies seem to come out during the nicest season of the year. In any case these are some of the movies I’ll be going to this summer.
-Mr. & Mrs. Smith - this movie just looks funny. Definitely not thought provoking.
-Batman Begins - I saw the 10 minute preview after the smallville season finale. I really hope this movie will re-awaken the Batman series.
-Bewitched - Loved the TV series and the premise of this movie is better then I expected (surprisingly).
-War of the Worlds - Come on… Spielberg & Cruise working together again. I loved Minority Report and Spielberg always makes some great movies. Hell he helped on SW Ep 3 during some of the battle scenes (Yoda vs. Darth Sidious & Obi Wan vs. Anakin) and they were awesome.
-Fantastic Four - I loved the comic & TV series, there is no way I am missing this one.
-Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Woohoo, finally a remake and one by Tim Burton as well.
-Wedding Crashers - A stupid comedy but I know I’ll be laughing.
-The Island - Surprisingly I might see this. McGregor did very well in Gattaca. The premise sounds promising. Plus the screenplay is written by Alias writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.
-November - This one might be the most “thought” provoking of all as it is a thriller / mystery.
-Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo - Another movie set in Amsterdam (seems Amsterdam is being used more and more in movies, yay!) and sequel to Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo… I’ll be there.
Notice that these are in order of release dates as well with Mr. & Mrs Smith coming out next week and Deuce Bigalow first week of August. A span of 2 months. If I were to buy all these at non matinee prices (meaning after 7pm and before 6am), this summer is going to set me back $90 in movie tickets alone not counting gas, food, drink and paying for someone else. However I’ll get approx. 25+ hours of entertainment.
