Wingnut Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Well, first of all, you're a spammer. That being, I'll still take the bait. How is Scream 4 on the list, but the final installment of the Harry Potter series not on the list, something that has been in the making for over a decade?

Guest Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Most anticipated according to Who? Because, if I was writing that list, not only Harry Potter would be there, Cars 2 would be there too! And on a sidenote... Breaking Dawn Part One??? REALLY? There's a Part Two? And what's it gonna contain... because, I don't think you can get any sappier...

It was awesome!I saw the "Regal Cinema First Look" clip on Cars 2 at the theater. It's awesome. Mater is hilarious. My kids and I have it down on our First-Full-Show list. That is - we're going to watch the very first show - it'll probably get a midnight showing.Isn't Cowboys and Aliens coming out in 2011? Coz, that's my husband's most anticipated movie...

UrbanFool Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I'm anticipating Red Dawn. It hasn't come out yet, has it? They're probably going to embarrass the original movie completely. Oh great, the spell check isn't working on this thing. What's up with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierGuy Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 It's May and we have started the summer movie season. It kicks off this weekend with Thor. It's always interesting to see which film will end up on of the big hit for the summer and which films will disappoint and which will bomb. Some major movies coming out this summer include - Thor - out now. I saw it last night at midnight. I'm not a big fan of these Marvel superhero films but this one was above average. It was nicely done but nothing special. There's no sex or foul language (I don't remember any foul language) so it's safe for young kids. May 20 - Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Has Blackbeard in it. June 3 - X-Men: First Class June 17- The Green Lantern June 24 - Cars 2. I enjoyed Cars 1 and hope this will be halfway decent. Pixar film. July 1 - Transformers - Dark Side of the Moon. July 15 - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. I imagine this will be the big hit of the summer. Final Potter film. July 22 - Captain America: The First Avenger July 29 - Cowboys and Aliens. This has Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig. The name sounds dumb and the idea sounds dumb but they might pull it off. I do want to see it. July 29 - Smurfs. August 5 - Rise of the Planet of the Apes. This looks half way decent. August 19 - Conan the Barbarian. This Conan looks nothing like Arnold Schwarzenegger. August 19 - Fright Night. This is a remake of the original. The original is good. I'm sure I've missed some films. Some of these films are 3D. I've seen about three or four 3D films now. Thor did not look any good in 3D. I thought there was an excess of blurry scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dravin Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Smurfs - I'm expecting this one to be like Yogi Bear and basically traipse over my childhood by sneakily spoiling the memories by association. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Nothing seems original. That list is just sequels or remakes or movies taken from comic books. Where's the originality these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I will admit that I do want to see the new Pirates movie. I mean it has Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. How could I resist that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 If you had to choose between seeing that or seeing a new movie staring Shemar Moore? Okay let me put it this way. I would pay the $8 to go see Shemar Moore and wait for Pirates to come to RedBox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamjet Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Movies are $8??? When did that roll-back happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Movies are $8??? When did that roll-back happen? Well if you hit the theater before 5 p.m. At least here they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dravin Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Movies are $8??? When did that roll-back happen?It's called the I don't live on the coast roll-back. And as Pam points out matinée showings can save a bundle, in some theaters more than others.You can go even cheaper if you are willing to go to a 'dollar' theater, I remember going to Boise and it costing $3 to get in but they gave you $3 of concessions (so basically the movie was free but you had to buy at least $3 of concessions). The downside of course being you don't get to see the movie when it first comes out and the theaters tend to be a smaller and older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Hey, how come you didn't mention The Hangover:Part II? The first one was really funny and not only was it a comedy but it was a mystery/comedy combined. I'm sure it fails because of its R rating. I will go see it just because I really enjoyed the first one and I'm hoping this one is just as good. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I just saw Thor. IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!!! Watching it again tomorrow. In 3D this time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy740 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Atlas Shrugged (pt 1) Harry Potter (8th movie) Pirates (4th movie) That's a good enough list for me. I like consistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curiousheathen Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I actually really hate the Thor comics and the movie...maybe it's just because I'm a mythology junkie and find it kind of offensive...my fiance is Norse Pagan and we get kinda touchy about movies like this. I'm looking forward to Atlas Shrugged myself. Anyone read the book? I loved it as a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierGuy Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I just saw Thor. IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!Watching it again tomorrow. In 3D this time! Yes, it was good. The more I think about it I would not mind seeing it again. It's not great and not a blockbuster summer movie in my eyes. The story, although it works, is a little too simple. But it's well done for what it is. Anthony Hopkins does a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
