[fulltimer56]

This is looking like a great Summer of movies for me.

Star Trek, May 7th
Terminator Salvation, May 22nd
Night at the Museum 2, May 22nd (I might wait for the DVD on this one)
Land of the Lost, June 5th
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, June 12th
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, June 26th
Public Enemies, July 1st
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, July 1st
Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince, July 15th
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Aug, 7th

And I saw a trailer for "District 9" that is looking pretty good too.

What are ya'll waiting for?

This year I'm looking for the New Star Trek movie, G.I.Joe, Transformers, and the latest Terminator movie
Next year Jonah Hex, Avengers(if its done), Thor, New Nightmare on Elm Street, Thor, and Iron Man 2

I'm really liking the Terminator trailer. Hoping the movie is good. "This is John Connor. If you are listening to this,you are the resistance." Bale seems right for the role.

[Sgt Major Secrets]

Well, I'm not really looking forward to Star Trek: 90210, but I will probably see it, since I've seen every Star Trek movie on the big screen (even Star Trek: The Movie - The Search for a Plot).

Terminator looks like it could be really good and I'm definately awaiting the new Harry Potter.

Otherwise there doesn't seem to be too many movies out there that I have to see this summer.

As for G.I. Joe, be afraid, be very afraid.

I'm with you Secrets on the Star Trek movie. I'll see it, but I have some doubts about it being "Star Trek". I'm hoping it's better than the trailers, which make it look like a generic Summer action flick only set in space.

Other than that, I'll likely catch the rest of them on DVD eventually.

[kenmacny]

Did I just see Joes running around in "enhanced" suits in the GI JOE clip? Oh dear that can't be good...

[Capitalrecoveryman]

Transformers, Land of the Lost and the new Pixar movie are what I want to see. Plus the drive-in movie theater just reopened for the spring so all is well in the world.

[marvelguy]

I'll see these if time allows...

Star Trek, May 7th
Terminator Salvation, May 22nd (I will see this one)
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, June 26th (I will see this one)
Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince, July 15th
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Aug, 7th (the trailer looks good, just a fun popcorn movie)

[marvelguy]

Also, this one is not a summer release nor a winter release either but it falls in the Indian Summer timeline.

I've loved this book as a boy. Very cool story and surreal stuff as well.

Where The Wild Things Are

Lord, I wish we had a drive-in theater around here we could go to!! :(

As a Harry Potter fanatic, I'll definitely go see The Half-Blood Prince. In fact, as soon as I finish The House of the Spirits (Isabel Allende), I'll re-read the HP book. If they have a midnight showing, I'll probably be there. I can just wear my pajamas under my wizard's robe.

I'll probably see Star Trek opening weekend, even though I'm already worried about the James T. "James Dean" Kirk portrayal.

I saw the guy that plays him in Bottle Shock, a fun little movie about California wines that nobody's every heard of. Wasn't impressed — but maybe it was the bad wig.

I heard an ugly rumor about Land of the Lost; that it stars Will Farrell. If that's true, no way I'm going. Although I never watched the show and am totally disinterested in the movie anyway, Farrell being in it just assures I won't see it.

Forgot about Land of Lost Cocky, that should be good. Will F. is genius. "Ohh, it's the deep burn. Oh, it's so deep. Oh, I can barely lift my right arm 'cause I did so many. I don't know if you heard me counting. I did over a thousand."

[jordanscott]

The only movies I'm really looking forward to this summer are HP and Transformers.

I was looking forward to the Batinator, but every time McG opens his mouth about the movie or the sequel I get less enthusiastic about the movie.

Trek - likely will see but only due to family pressure.

Many of the others to see but nothing that really screams 'go see it!'

Esp if it stars Ben Stiller.

[fulltimer56]

pasnat,

I haven't read any of the HP books! My sister and her son has read every one of them and I HATE going to the movies with them!! I know that there is no way they can put everything from the books in the movies (the movies would be 5 hours long) but they don't have to go on and on about it! So if we go to a HP movie together as a family I don't seat with them and if they don't shut up I throw things at them!! ;)

Linda, avoid your relatives altogether when Deathly Hallows, the final movie, comes out. The book is so long I've heard rumors that it will made into two separate movies shot at one time, like Richard Lester's Three/Four Musketeers. They will be insufferable then.

[jordanscott]

Deathly Hallows was ridiculously large.

Rowling, Tad Williams and Stephen King need to invest in editors.

[pasnat54]

Stephen King especially! I remember when I read that book about the clown in the sewer, can't remember it's name (It?), I was dumbfounded by how much useless information it was bogged down with.

In that particular case, there was a lot of in-depth information about how a bully kills a bunch of kittens. I understand that it was to show how callous and corrupt he was, so I have no objection including for that. But that part of the book just went on and on and on, well after we got the point. It was the tedium, not the cruelty, that was driving me crazy.

I've always told people that I enjoy Stephen King, but his books are usually about 1/3 too long.

[Drakesfuture]

I have read both the Cell and the Shining in the last half a year or so after taking about a decade long break from Stephen King. Enjoyed both books, although I would agree that Cell was probably a tad longer than it had to be.

By the way, I thought the Shining would make a pretty good movie. Wonder if someone will ever get around to making it. I personally think Stanley Kubrick would be the perfect director for that project.

[Capitalrecoveryman]

I love the novel 'It' if for nothing else, King has a unique ability to recapture the essence of what it's like to be 12 years old. I can't think of anything he's done since then that particularly stands out much other than 'The Green Mile' which was great.

There's been 2 versions of it put to film.

One for the theater staring Jack Nicholson and a made for TV movie with one of the annoying guys from Wings.

[pasnat54]

You're right, drake'sfuture. Kubrick would greatly have improved on the Mike Garris mini-series. After all, Steven Weber and Rebecca DeMornay are okay, but they hardly have star power.

Too bad Kubrick died before he could take that project on.

lol. Thanks Jordan.:rolleyes:
