I think I'm only going to see Sex & the City. Nothing else whets my appetite like those wacky adventures those girls go on.

Everyone should see "Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?" (5/16, I think). It's great.

And, although I'm sure it's going to suck, I'm more than a little excited for the 'Get Smart' movie.

WALL-E is the only one I'm really anxious to see.

I'd like to see IRON MAN, based on the reviews and the good word of mouth I've heard.

No force in the universe could get me to pay to see that INDIANA JONES thing. Life is too short.

I guess I'll go see THE DARK KNIGHT, mainly to see Heath Ledger, not because I give a damn about Batman. That BATMAN BEGINS thing was a horror, all noise and brutality. I've seen more entertaining concentration camp footage.

I might see SPEED RACER, only because it just looks so completely awful. The trailers remind me of some ghastly high-tech SHOWGIRLS, with cars instead of t*ts.

Get Smart. Because I will see anything with Steve Carell in it.

What Happens in Vegas, Sex & the City, and Mamma Mia. Everything else just doesn't seem that interesting.

The Dark Knight
Indiana Jones
Prince Caspian
Wall-E

I'll probably see Mamma Mia!, mainly for Meryl, since I'm not a big fan of the stage show. Probably cause I'm not a big fan of Abba, lol

Hamlet 2 is the only summer movie I'm excited for, even though the reviews have been pretty mixed. And one of my cousins has a really small role in the Sex and the City movie, so I guess I'll be going to see that too.


I know you. I know you. I know you.

Already seen Iron Man
*Speed Racer
*Prince Caspian
*Indiana Jones
The Happening
*Wall E
*The Dark Knight
Mamma Mia
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, because I'm stupidly girly like that and loved the first one
Probably Pineapple Express, cause it's from the Apatow crew, unless it gets horrible reviews

Of course, stuff might be added if it gets really good reviews or something of the sort. Stuff that I starred I will probably go see if they get terrible reviews, because I'm a movie whore.

MAMMA MERYL, SEX & THE CITY and GET SMART (which opens on my birthday, yay) are the only summer films I'm excited about.
My boyfriend will drag to me DARK KNIGHT and INDIANA JONES, I might enjoy the latter due to Cate Blanchett, she looks great in the trailers.

Already saw Iron Man, and I'm probably going to go back and see it again when my sister and her friend go see Speed Racer.

Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull
Get Smart
The Incredible Hulk
The Dark Knight
The Mummy: Tomb of The Emperor(I think that's what it's called)

This summer movie season has started out great so far. A whole lot better than last summer with Spiderman 3. Hopefully none of the films on my list suck.

What's the big deal about WALL-E? Haven't seen a trailer for it, but was there at least one designer who said "hey, this kind of looks like the robot from SHORT CIRCUIT"?


"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali
