Summer Films...

I'm very psyched about certain films that are coming up. "X-Men Origins:Wolverine" comes out May 1, and I'm thinking about watching it, I really am thinking about it. I, of course, didn't watch the pirated copy, just because I like Hugh Jackman. I read Roger Ebert's review-it wasn't good. I know that Ebert is the man to go to, if you wish to read an honest, impartial review. He gave it 2 stars out of 4, which is bad. I can understand that Ebert wants more from the movie, there is enough action I assume. I also want more from an action movie; I want a good story and some memorable quotes. But I'm willing to give it a try and watch it. The new "Star Trek" film is coming out in May 8. I've never sat down and watched a single episode of Star Trek, nevertheless the film looks fun! It does, from what I've seen, in the trailers, it looks like a very fast-paced movie-a lot of action. I wasn't surprised that the trailer had the "must-have" sex scene (it's so typical, or standard in today's films). I'll probably end up watching it just to have a good time.
"Angels and Demons" comes out on May 15. I liked "Da Vinci Code" it was a fun movie. I'm a fan of those sort of movies, like "National Treasure" the "Indiana Jones" films, you know plots based on fractures of historical facts (FRACTURES!). So I might watch the new adaptation of Dan Brown's novels, or books, or whatever. I'm not interested in learning anything from the film, we all know that the movie-facts are myths made juicy by Hollywood magic.
The latest addition to the "Terminator" franchise, "Terminator:Salvation" comes out on May 21. I like that Christian Bale is the lead character, he's a good actor. I'm curious to know which scene was the one that Bale lost his cool for; HA HA! I expect a better film than "Terminator 3:Rise of the Machines" which was fun, but smudgy. I'm not worried about Schwarzenegger being absent, he has more important things to do like screwing (how dare I say that!) up California. The trailers for "Salvation" look real good. The big robot is what I want to see, though.
"Transformers:Rise of the Fallen" comes out June 24. I'm very exited, this is a must watch. Not because of Megan Fox, she's a damn robot herself. I want to see some robots fight, and see the new additions to the robot cast, too. I loved the first one, but I was disappointed by the comical sense that plagued the first film. It was unnecessary, PERIOD! I hope the second act is more tight, and more focused on pulling a great story and not a good joke.
"Public Enemies" comes out July 1. It's a Michael Mann film, and I am praying it is as good as one of my faves, "Heat". "Public Enemies" stars Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and more. I'm not so familiar with the story, although I know it's about 20's gangsters or 30's, I think. I've seen the trailer, it looks great. If there isn't a lot of action, I won't mind, because if the plot and the characters are deep I'll be very happy.
"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" out July 15. This is the movie of 2009, no doubt (for me). The wait is too much for me, and I am still mad that they pulled it out of last year. The story is getting good, and it's close to ending. A lot of things happen in this film, or the book, and I hope the film is as good as the book. I want to see the relationship between Hermione and Ron, and Snape kill Dumbledore.
"G.I Joe:The Rise of Cobra" comes out August 7. I loved the toys, but never watched the cartoon. But I'm very much interested in watching the film. I think it looks fantastic.
That's all that I can remember now. Oh yeah there's the "Twilight" film coming out, "New Moon". It comes out sometime in November. I'm not interested in that film. The first one was bad.
