Memorial Day weekend officially marks the beginning of summer. And with that sunny and hot season comes the biggest movie releases of the year. It starts earlier and earlier each year. Iron Man 2 back on May 7 marked the beginning of the summer movie season, but there's still a lot to come out. Let's look at some of them, shall we?
Sex in the City 2—The girls go to the Middle East. They all get captured and beheaded. In other words, a happy ending
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time—I refuse to go see any action/adventure movie where the hero looks like he stepped out of a Margaret Keane painting.
Killers—Is there anything more repulsive than a movie starring Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher as a couple who meets cute only to find out one of them is a secret agent?
Knight and Day—Oh, yeah...much more repulsive is the SAME movie starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. And Vanilla Sky was such a huge hit, we've been dying for them to make another movie together.
Marmaduke—Do you think Owen Wilson's suicide attempt can be directly linked to the moment he realized he was king of the dog movies?
Get Him to the Greek—Jonah Hill, Russell Brand, and P. Diddy in a continuation of Brand's character from the god-awful Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Proof positive there is a movie theater in Hell.
Karate Kid—Will Smith has mastered cloning. And it pays to have your parents as producers when you get top-billing over Jackie Chan in your first starring role.
The A-Team—Absolute mindless action, no doubt. I'm so there for this one even though it co-stars the immensely forgettable and bland Bradley Cooper.
Toy Story 3—Pixar. Untouchable.
Grown Ups—Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, and Rob Schneider pee in a swimming pool. That movie theater in Hell is most certainly a multiplex.
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse—They all die in the end. Hopefully.
Predators—Adrien Brody is NOT an action hero. We learned this from King Kong, so stop it.
Salt—Angelina Jolie shoots things. It's so much better than when Angelina Jolie acts.
Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore—It's always surprising when a studio releases such an obvious "Oscar bait" movie in the summer. Usually they reserve such high-class films for December.
Have fun at the movies this summer!
