Definitely going to see:

Transformers (watched the trailer on this and looks pretty good)
Spiderman 3 (I have yet to see)

Fantastic Four

My daughter will probably force me to go see:

Shrek

The rest of the movies I'll decide on after the fact.

by **Lady Luck** » Fri May 18, 2007 10:51 pm

The only two I'd like to see from that list are Shrek the Third and Rush Hour 3.

by **NealIsGod** » Fri May 18, 2007 11:04 pm

Already seen SM3.

Simpsons movie? Maybe, if I am bored one evening. Probably a rental.

Evan Almighty looks completely asinine. What a waste of Steve Carrell.

Die Hard is a must.

by **KCfla** » Fri May 18, 2007 11:16 pm

Pirates and Harry Potter- YES! ( my kids already have those marked on the calender!)

The rest- well, I'll see what they say about them. I'm not really one to go to the movies ( with 5 people, the ligistics/money is just hard to deal with) But for a good one I'll go

by **NealIsGod** » Fri May 18, 2007 11:18 pm

Wow, nice sig KCfla!

by **Red13JoePa** » Fri May 18, 2007 11:54 pm

Gimme Die Hard baby.

I'll check Oceans 13 and Spidey, too.

Pirates, as well. Gotta check The Human Riff out.

by **nutz4Neal** » Sat May 19, 2007 12:07 am

Ocean's 13 is a must!

And I have to admit that I love Shrek so it's on my list too.

When my grandson visits this summer I'm sure he'll have Spidey Man on his list.

by **Red13JoePa** » Sat May 19, 2007 12:10 am

I'll see Spidy and Oceans out of love for both original entries and hope that both sequels can improve upon each series second one. Oceans 12 was an abysmal waste of unbelievable European settings.

Exactly!

We were there in Italy while they were filming - on our Honeymoon.

We were at The Pantheon in Rome.....saw the "PanaFlex" cameras, Director, etc....just filming ambient crowd scenes. I thought it was the coolest thing ~ could not WAIT to see it!

Man, what a letdown.... :evil:

I've heard great things about 28 Weeks Later. Will probably check that out this weekend.

by **Red13JoePa** » Sat May 19, 2007 1:45 am

Halloween 8/31/07

by **Playitloudforme** » Sat May 19, 2007 2:25 am

My buddy was the location manager for Halloween, which is filmed in my little town. We're known as "Anywhere USA" to the film industry, lol. Rob Zombie was everywhere. And did she introduce me? No. Pfft. Told her she's taking me to the damn premiere.

Mine: Harry Potter is a must, as is Pirates, as is Live Free Die Hard. The rest...meh.

by **lights1961** » Sat May 19, 2007 5:52 am

Potter, Pirates for sure, Die Hard maybe...
Oceans 13 with Pacino will be GREAT, unless he is UNDER USED!!

Rick

Went to the movies to see 28 Weeks Later (pretty good flick) and saw the trailer for the new Die Hard movie. I felt like running through a wall after seeing it. Looks AWESOME.

Also, RED, a waste of talent....#3 I hear is a little better with a different story line...we'll see

Bourne Ultim. was a fantastic book...Matt Damon has become a very good actor....so we'll see on that one.

Love Bruce Willis....

Will see Shrek.

LOL!! My man

Yep, I'm become more and more fired up to see McLane rolling again.

by **Jeremey** » Sun May 27, 2007 12:20 am

Shrek was Dreck...

Take that, Gene Shalit!!

by **cyndy!** » Sun May 27, 2007 6:17 am

saw pirates 3 last thursday. i really wanted to love it, but ended up confused through much of the movie - just couldn't keep track of all the double-crossing. loved keef & wished he had a bigger role. the special effects were really cool, especially davy jones' squid face. you must hang out until the very end, after the credits, to see the last scene of the movie.

will probably see:
Ratatouille - June 29th
Transformers - July 4
The Simpson's Movie - July 27th
Ocean's 13 - June 8

by **Rhiannon** » Sun May 27, 2007 6:25 am

I agree with Cyndy... at times I was thinking "seriously, this thing is STILL going on?" But all in all, I will gladly oogle Depp even if the plotline is a bit mistracked.

Shrek 3 was pretty cute, I loved the Journey refrence, but the Zeppelin ref was absolutely hilarious.

As for the rest of the summer, I guess the Simpsons movie. That's about it. Summer is so busy in this biz that you never have a time for that, unless you go on a weeknight, and that in itself is stretching it.

by **frfksakes** » Sun May 27, 2007 6:39 am

Spiderman 3 sucked royally. I can't believe it was made by the same group of people as 1 & 2.

Can't wait for Bourne Ultimatum!!! (The preview for this movie was seriously 100 times better than spidey3.)

by **Red13JoePa** » Sun May 27, 2007 10:30 am

What's not to love?

Shut up, Dave ConversationTopic.

SPIDER MAN was a big, bloated mess.
PIRATES is getting HAMMERED by the critics.
RUSH HOUR 3- Did anyone SEE how badly that hack Brett Ratner fucked up X3????
FANTASTIC FOUR has a great preview, but FOX are the MASTERS of making shitty movies with great previews..plus with that hack Tim Story directing again (as he did the first floating turd of a film) I have STRONG reservations.
OCEANS and SIMPSONS look like they could be fun...
BOURNE ULTIMATUM and HARRY POTTER are the only must see's on that list for me.

I like the Fantastic 4 characters, but thought the first movie sucked. I will give part 2 a chance, tho.

I loved all the X-Men flicks.

Can't wait for Die Hard. I have a feeling it will be the best once since the first one.

Ah...Bruce is going to have a good summer. Love the fighter jet!
