Summertime!

So, blockbuster season is upon us. What's the movie you want to see most this summer?
Live Free or Die Hard?
Spider-Man 3?
Pirates of the Caribbean?

What's the one you've been waiting for?

I think for me, I'm looking forward to The Bourne Ultimatum. I greatly enjoyed the first two films and Greengrass is back (poor sod's United 93 got shafted at the Oscars). Both he and Damon seem to have a good fix on Bourne, so this will hopefully continue their good fortune with the franchise.

You mean which big sequel are we looking forward to most? :)

For me, it's only the next "Potter," I'm afraid, and maybe the next "Oceans" (is it "13" now?).

I've been watching the trailers for summer movies for the last six months. A couple that caught my interest were "Mr. Brooks," "Bug," and, yes, "Bourne." But I'm more looking forward to the fall releases of "American Gangster" and "The Golden Compass." We'll see.

this summer blows.

spider-man 3
shrek 3
pirates 3
ocean's 13 (a part 3)
rush hour 3
harry potter 5
die hard 4
jason bourne 3

where is the originality? with all these numbers, transformers is the "most original" of the bunch. bah.

(to be honest, i do have high hopes for jason bourne 3, and maybe ocean's 13 will be enjoyable, too. matt damon is american cinema's savior at this point.)

Eddie,

Certainly it's a rehash season to be sure, but I agree with you on Damon. He seems to be one of the best actors Hollywood has to offer right now.

I'm hoping with you guys that Ocean's 13 will be good. Wasn't too impressed with Ocean's 12.

sean (...now if we're talkin' Billy Ocean...)

I hope the disappointing "Spider-Man 3" isn't an indication of where this summer is headed.

Looking forward to the new Bourne, "Ratatouille", and "The Simpsons Movie." I'll see Pirates 3 just because Chow Yun-Fat and the unkillable Keith Richards are in it. "Ocean's 12" was pretty much Clooney & Co. amusing themselves. Hopefully, with "13" they'll go back to making an actual movie.

I do want to see "Live Free or Die Hard", lots of explosions and Maggie Q make me a happy man. Being a recent Harry Potter convert, I'll definitely see "Order of the Phoenix." I'll probably wind up seeing a few others like "Transformers" even though I'll probably be screaming, "Michael Bay raped my childhood!" the whole time.

will,

chow yun-fat is a dick now. did you hear about how he gave his old friend john woo the middle finger with regards to "battle of red cliff"?

i've put chow on my "don't see" list next to tom cruise and mel gibson.

I, for one, am astonished you guys are actually talking about "movies". After all, the tag under the DVDTOWN logo says "WHERE MOVIES MATTER", and I was thinking that was a joke for some time now. Perhaps it is because I'm sure one of you will come in here to point out how excited you'll be as to which summer film gets the Blu-ray or HD-DVD release. Nevertheless, I have to agree with Eddie as I see a dull summer coming on. And please, let's talk about the films and not whether which ones get the high-def treatment in the future.

Thanks.

I'm looking forward to seeing Oceans 13, Die Hard, Bourne 3, and of course The Transformers. I'm sure I'll see Harry Potter and such with the kids those are my top four. Actually Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer looks good too. Hopefully it's better than the first one.

Ummmm anyone hear about Brad Pitt being courted for a He-man movie? Seriously the guy is good and all but he's 47 years old.

"...the guy is good and all but he's 47 years old."

Hey! :(

John

LOL sorry John, I'm a fan of Brad's, I think he's entertaining to watch and is remarkably talented also. One of the more underrated actors in my opinion. There's nothing wrong with being 47 years old! It's just that He-Man should be in his early thirties. Imagine if Brad took on the role and the movie did well, by the time they make a sequel he will be a 50+ year old He-Man. I guess I'm used to the old cartoons and thinking of him as if he was in his thirties.
