The official start to summer is here and the movies are cuing and queuing. A few weeks ago I checked to see what was coming out and found that is going to be a summer for sequels, remakes, and bridal movies. There are 3 movies showing this week that fall in the last category: Ā Bridesmaids, Something Borrowed, and Jumping the Broom.
I’m not a Potter fan, but this movie should prove to have maybe the largest attendance, Harry Potter and the Deathly Harrows Part II. I do not care for sequels basically because there is usually not as much of an effortĀ (and money) being invested in the sequel(s) because the movie makersĀ know they already have the audience hooked into the storyline. I remember hearing a couple of years ago there would be no more Pirates of the Caribbean sequels (yee-ha), but we have another one in theaters labeled On Stranger Tides. The first movie was enough in my opinion only to be made worse as the years have passed. I am not really a comic book movie fan, but there are a few coming out including X-Men, First Class, another sequel. Some of this movie was shot in the state so I feel compelled to see it. Some other sequels:
The Hangover :Ā Part II
Ku Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom
Cars 2
Transformers:Ā Dark of the Moon
Spy Kids 4:Ā All the Time in the World
Final Destination 5
Piranha 3DD
Paranormal Activity 3
Happy Feet 2
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part – I
Alvin and the Chipmunks:Ā Chipwrecked
Mission Impossible:Ā Ghost Protocol
Sherlock Holmes ā A Game of Shadows
The remaking of a movie doesĀ not equalĀ improvement. Here are some remakes set to come out:
The Thing
Footloose
Conan the Barbarian
The Three Musketeers
Winnie the Pooh
Fright Night
Winnie the Pooh is the one I’m looking forward to. And, here are some movies that sound ‘interesting‘ though I don’t know how good they will be. Not all of these are my top picks, and some of the titles do not give a clear clue to what they are about…
Captain America:Ā The First Avenger
Cowboys and Aliens
Caesar:Ā Rise of the Apes
Super 8
30 Minutes or Less
Mr Popper’s Penguins – Angela Lansbury is in this one, so I want to see it.
The Smurfs – Jonathan Winters lends his voice in this one and I love smurfs.
Apollo 18
Our Idiot Brother
Anonymous
Zookeeper
The Greatest Muppet Movie Ever Made
Hugo Cabret
New Year’s Eve
Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy
Love, Wedding, Marriage
Bride FlightĀ – with Rutger Hauer
Road to Nowhere
Buck
The Ledge
And, this movie will be the beginning of a series of movies (sequels):Ā The Adventures of Tintin:Ā Secret of the Unicorn.
There are many more movies set to be released. Is there something you are looking forward to-something you are just dying to see? Well, as Roger EbertĀ used toĀ say, “See you at the movies.”
Happy Gardening and may all of your dreams come true…and if not, go see a movie!
