Here we go again! The summer movie season is officially under way. As is the way of the movie industry, there is something for everyone this summer. Action/Adventure/ Horror - Van Helsing (Hugh Jackman) – a collage of legendary monsters confront the vampirehunter - Troy (Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom) – an excuse for the current main men of Hollywood to go shirtless, this epic boasts great battle scenes, but the dialogue and lack of acting ability leave something to be desired - The Day After Tomorrow - the eerily familiar Armageddon-like film featured what hopes to be some stellar effects and a story that makes you want to repent immediately - The Chronicles of Riddick (Vin Diesel) – from flashy Hondas to spacecraft and futuristic weaponry, Vin is officially taking any role available in the action genre, so if you are making a film for the Fuj give big Vin a call - Spiderman 2 (Kirsten Dunst, Tobey Maguire) – the most hyped movie of the summer is sure to be a blockbuster hit and should match the entertainment value of the first - The Bourne Supremacy (Matt Damon) – a sequel to Matt’s entertaining The Bourne Identity should be a good way to blow a summer weekday if it matches the original - Catwoman (Halle Berry) – well this stars Halle in 100% leather for nearly two hours, I think that will sell - Hero (Jet Li, Zhang Ziyi) – Crouching Tiger-like martial arts fun - Terminal (Tom Hanks) – Spielberg and Tom together again - Darkness (Anna Paquin) - The Manchurian Candidate(Denzel Washington, Liv Schreiber, Meryl Streep) – Denzel is intense - The Village (Joaquin Phoenix, Judy Greer, William Hurt, Adrian Brody,and Bryce Dallas Howard) - the newest edition to M. Night Shyamalan’s resumé, should be solid - Shall We Dance? (Jennifer Lopez) – sure to be a horror film so placed in this category - Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (Dwight Little) – J.Lo was in the first, the movie is doomed - King Arthur (the ‘true story’; Clive Owen, Keira Knightly, Ioan Gruffudd) – a huge Keira Knightly fan, she is tough and beautiful as Lady Gwynovere Comedy - New York Minute (the Olsen Twins, I mean, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) – well boys and girls, this could be a popular one, it is the Olsen Twins. So, if you didn’t get enough fun in Mean Girls go check it out - A Cinderella Story (Hilary Duff) – if Lohan and the Olsens don’t float your boat, check out Disney’s new product, Hillary Duff in this modern remake - Shrek 2 (Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, John Cleese, Julie Andrews, and Eddie Murphy) – a studded cast, this flick is sure to be a hit offering a fun fantasy land for children with a mixture of innuendo and witty comedy for the adults forced to haul them there. - Breakin’ All the Rules (Jamie Foxx, Gabrielle Union) – ehhhhh… - Raising Helen (Kate Hudson) – Kate Hudson is cute, the classic chick-flick here - Soul Plane (Snoop Dogg) – just when you thought demand had tapered off for the brilliant and wide-ranged talents of Lil’John, another opportunity for him to yell really loudly presents itself; an ensemble of “soulful” icons it should be interesting - Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (Ben Stiller) – Zoolander is hilarious - White Chicks (the Wayans Brothers) – the comical family mocks, believe it or not, white chicks. Just when you think Juwanna Man exhausted this type of storyline Other -Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson) - the third installment in the Harry Potter series, coming out June 4, is sure to please the diehard HP fans this summer - The Stepford Wives (Nicole Kidman, Matthew Broderick, Bette Midler, Glenn Close, Christopher Walken) – a collection aging but talented actors, this movie should offer something for middleaged women; just make sure you avoid talking to your mom about going to movies when this movie is released. Enjoy! (Tentative release dates and actors/actresses courtesy of the Plain Dealer on May 2, 2004) |
