Now I know that, technically, some of these will be released during the latter part of spring or the early part of fall, but they are still the ten, I know about now, that I'll be anxious to see.

1. Pirates of the Caribbean
I'm looking forward to seeing Depp in an action/comedy role. He's on my top ten list easy. Should be good, even though it's Disney (I know Disney's good too). We'll see.

2. The Hulk
I have a feeling that the green manalishi will look fine on the big screen. Good cast, should be a good story. We'll see.

3. Owning Mahowny
Philip Seymour Hoffman as a hard core gambling genius working a scam??? C'mon, you know that's going to be good. He's a legend in the making, m-o-o-n spells legend!

4. Down with Love
McGregor and Zellweger are perfectly made for roles like these. I'm normally not a romantic comedy kinda guy, but this one will certainly be an exception.

5. Underworld
Vampires versus Werwolves. Dark and atmospheric, let us pray. All together now. A-one-and-a-two-a...

6. The Matrix Reloaded
Need I say anything?

7. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
A lot of people already seem to know that this movie is a stinker. My prediction is that it will blow audiences away.

8. Van Helsing
Dracula, The Wolfman, and Frankenstein meet their match??? Holy *****!!! I gotta see this!

9. Till Human Voices Wake Us
A love story, not a romantic/comedy. A character study. Guy Pearce and Helena Bonham Carter get a chance to really prove their abilities, I can't wait.

10. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
More than any other, I hope for this to be good.
With the fate of the world at stake, a team of extraordinary figures with legendary powers is our last hope. Led by renowned adventurer Alaan Quatermain (Sean Connery), this “League” is comprised of the world’s first superheroes: Captain Nemo (Naseeruddin Shah), Vampiress Mina Harker (Peta Wilson), invisible rogue Rodney Skinner (Tony Curran), American Secret Service Agent Tom Sawyer (Shane West), the immortal and secretive Dorian Gray (Stuart Townsend), and Jekyll & Hyde (Jason Flemyng).

A novel adaptation.
What qualifies as this summer? As I've seen in these lists movies that come out in 5 days next to movies that come out over a year from now.

My life isn't written very well.
Holden Sir, Is that movie The In-Laws a remake of the 1979 movie of the same name, that starred Alan Arkin and Peter Falk?

I love the Arkin film, he's one of my favorites of that generation. Unfortunately, I've never really cared for Albert Brooks, so I guess I'll wait for cable.



I love both Alan Arkin and Albert Brooks equally. Though truthfully, as a writer/director, Albert gets the edge if it comes right down to it. Just plain genius (though he is only an actor-for-hire in the In-Laws re-make). Seriously, I have seen Modern Romance, Lost in America and Defending Your Life at least seventy times each (at least), and they still floor me with hysterics to this day. From his stand-up on "Sullivan", the records, the short films for "SNL", to his own films, to his acting in other people's projects (Broadcast News, Private Benjamin, Out of Sight, Twilight Zone: The Movie, Critical Care, My First Mister), I just LOVE the guy.

If it weren't for the presence of Brooks, I wouldn't even consider seeing an In-Laws re-make. But he alone makes it a must see. For me, anyway.



Hmm..I'll give your favorite three another chance. I was quite a bit younger and my tastes have changed. I'd sure hate to be missing out on real genius. Thanks for the tip, SHoP.

The Hulk
Matrix 2
X-Men 2
Bruce Almighty
Freddy Vs. Jason
Charlies Angels 2

To my limited knowlege, all of those are coming out this year. Therefor, I modify my list to include those I don't have.



Out of the ones I haven't seen yet, Terminator 3 is number one on my list.
