I've been off the grid for a bit and this poor blog has taken the worst of it. So I am working to get back to posting. And since I have lots of upcoming movies on the brain, I thought I would list a few I am really looking forward to.
1) Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
I've been waiting for the release of this one since I left the theater after watching Order of the Phoenix. The latest trailer looks UNBELIEVABLE!
2) X-Men Origins: Wolverine
I really enjoyed the X-Men movies, especially parts one and two. I also really like Hugh Jackman. But I was really excited about some of the other casting on this one, too. Especially Taylor Kitsch as Gambit. I think he is about to blow up huge.
3) Public Enemies
Christian Bale & Johnny Depp. Do I need to say anything more? But I will. I also love the subject matter (John Dillinger and bank robberies and tommy guns...) and time period.
4) Terminator Salvation
Watch the trailer here. More Christian Bale. And I love the Terminator franchise. Looking forward to seeing where they go with this one.
5) Star Trek
Watch the trailer here. I don't even watch Star Trek and have never been interested in it one iota. But JJ Abrams has done what he set out to do, and that is to appeal to a whole new group of potential fans with his new interpretation.
6) 500 Days of Summer
How cute does this one look? I really like Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel.
7) The Hangover
Watch the trailer here. First, the reason this attracted me was Will Tippin, I mean Bradley Cooper. And, as usual, he is playing kind of the sleazy guy, but I am glad to see he is playing a main character. But this trailer actually really cracks me up. The tooth, the tiger, the baby.
8) Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Watch the trailer here. I have been sucked into the Shia LeBeouf hype and really like him. Plus, I enjoyed the first film, so I'll give this one a chance.
9) Away We Go
When I first heard of this, before the trailer, I thought it would be much goofier. Instead it is just a quirky, sweet-looking little thing. I can't wait to see this one. Looks entertaining.
10) Land of the Lost
Watch the trailer here. I have seen a fair bit of this because Sean was working on it and the parts I have seen are really funny. Will Ferrel almost always cracks me up. Plus, I must support my man's work!
Movies I am maybe excited to see (can't decide):
1 & 2) I want to be able to say I am looking forward to the release of The Time Traveler's Wife and My Sister's Keeper, two of my favorite books of all time, but I am concerned about the film adaptation in both cases. Therefore, I am hesitant to put any hope into them. I'm sure I will see them both anyway.
3) The Soloist - I adore Robert Downey, Jr. and really love Joe Wright, who is directing. I just am not sure this movie actually appeals to me. I don't love Jamie Foxx. Maybe I'll just rent it unless it gets rave reviews or something.
And while I really like to support my husband and his work (I did see Alvin and the Chipmunks in the theater, and plan to see Land of the Lost), I am not sure I'll be seeing They Came From Upstairs. I'm sure we'll see it eventually but I am just not sure I can sit through it. I am not the target audience here.
Well, my list of movies to see this summer is huge! There are a few others that caught my eye but didn't quite make the list. I better start saving money now or plan on going to the 11 am shows for a discount...

Welcome back! I really enjoyed reading about all of the adventures you and Sean had in India.
Some of these are on my list, too. Although I'm not a big comic book fan, I liked the X-Men movies. And Hugh Jackman, too, of course! It'll be very strange watching Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter after seeing (all of) him in Equus. ;-)
Thanks, Esther! Glad you enjoyed my other blog. Still working on my last few posts for it. Lots of photos to sort through.
Of course, we have to support our man Hugh, especially after his amazing job on the Oscars.
Away We Go, 500 Days of Summer and Star Trek are definitely on my list. The trailer for My Sister's Keeper makes it look like a real weeper.
Welcome back!
I finally made my way through all these trailers. I already planned to watch Half-Blood Prince, Wolverine, Terminator Salvation, and Star Trek. And thanks to this post, I'm now also interested in several others, especially 500 Days of Summer and Away We Go.
You should go see The Soloist. It was really good!
