So, what does the rest of my summer viewing look like?

**Sean P Kelly** · 07-05-2007, 10:32 AM

With Transformers this week and Harry Potter next week (both of which I'm seeing -- Potter in IMAX), I would say that's the end of the major must-see films of the summer.

So, I will list the rest of the films I have my eye on (you can do the same)

July

Sunshine
I Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (maybe)
Hairspray (maybe)
The Simpsons Movie

August

The Bourne Ultimatum
Hod Rod (maybe)
Rush Hour 3
Stardust (maybe)
Superbad (DEFINITELY)
The Invasion (maybe)
The King of Kong (if it opens near me)
Mr Bean's Holiday
Balls of Fury (maybe)

Bomby · 07-05-2007, 10:34 AM

You considered Transformers "must see?"

I'll probably end up seeing Rush Hour 3. I actually kind of miss Chris Tucker, and Jackie Chan has a tendency toward great stunts, completely CGI free.

Yes I do. Anything wrong with that?

No. I'm just a snobby elitist.

**Wyborn** · 07-05-2007, 11:39 AM

Stardust is penned by Neil Gaiman. That makes it required viewing by everyone who breathes.

i thot u wer my frend · 07-05-2007, 05:30 PM

July:
Harry Potter
Hairspray (possibly)
Chuck & Larry (possibly)
The Simpsons

August:
Bourne Ultimatum
Underdog (to see the suckiness of it)
Rush Hour 3
Stardust
King of Kong
Super Bad
Balls of Fury (possibly)
Mr. Bean's Holiday (Possibly)

September (It's still summer):
The Brothers Solomon
Godzilla 3D to the MAX (possibly)
Across the Universe

Chocolate Ninja · 07-05-2007, 08:31 PM

My optimism is not with this Simpsons movie. And, though I didn't know it was coming out, Rush Hour 3.

...they're coming out with a new Mr. Bean movie? o_O

**Sean P Kelly** · 07-06-2007, 12:22 AM

^ Technically they already have. This is just the North American release.

***ZeldaGirl*** · 07-06-2007, 12:48 AM

Harry Potter, Hairspray, and The Simpsons are musts. The rest, eh.

Koga · 07-06-2007, 08:04 AM

Since I'm from Europe my list is going to be a little different from the other ones.

I don't think I've ever seen as much films in the cinema as this summer (or rather from May till now). I've seen Spider-Man 3, Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End, Fracture, Death Proof, Ocean's Thirteen, Shrek the Third and Die Hard 4.0. I'm going to see Transformers this weekend or Monday.

As for the rest of the summer:
July
-

August
The Simpsons Movie
Planet Terror
Ratatouille (maybe)

September
The Bourne Ultimatum

That's it. Rush Hour 3 isn't due until October, and I don't care about the rest.

**Sean P Kelly** · 07-06-2007, 11:20 AM

I was just going to list the films I want to see in September, then I realized that there aren't really that many (most of my September film viewing, like always, will probably be at the Toronto Film Festival)

***CaptHayfever*** · 07-06-2007, 11:31 AM

I'm a little behind.

Really want to see:
Live Free or Die Hard
Hairspray
Across the Universe
License to Wed

Lower-priority:
Shrek the 3rd
Ratatouille
Order of the Phoenix
....Grindhouse (as long as I've already missed the theater run, I might as well chill out about the rental)

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

The Joker · 07-06-2007, 12:19 PM

July:
Harry Potter(possibly)
Chuck & Larry (possibly)
The Simpsons

August:
Bourne Ultimatum
Rush Hour 3
Stardust
Super Bad (hell yeah)
Balls of Fury (only because of Christopher Walken)

September:
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Dragonwars!!

Swordmaster Link · 07-06-2007, 02:00 PM

Hmm, I'm up for whatever, but at the moment I'd like to see Live Free or Die Hard and an upcoming movie Vantage Point (It's got Matthew Fox from Lost AND Forrest Whittaker, an amazing actor). License to Wed doesn't look too bad either, Robin Williams is in it so it has to be at least mildly funny.

***ZeldaGirl*** · 07-06-2007, 03:49 PM

I forgot about License to Wed, and Ratatouille. Both look good.

SephirothKirby · 07-06-2007, 04:42 PM

I'm going to see Chuck & Larry.

I saw the preview for Mr. Bean when I went to see Evan Almighty (Which wasn't NEARLY as good as Bruce Almighty), and I was like, "Wtf, a new Mr. Bean movie?"

I love Mr. Bean. It looks hilarious.

Also, the Simpsons movie didn't sound that appealing, but after seeing the preview, I also want to see it.

Marge: How did the pig tracks get on the ceiling?
Homer (Holding pig upside down on ceiling, walking it along.): SpiderPig, SpiderPig, does whatever a SpiderPig can. Look out, here comes the SpiderPig!

You lose. Movie's gonna be split on DVD.

I also plan on seeing My Blueberry Nights, but that's not until October.

Koga · 07-07-2007, 08:21 AM

They should make a DVD with a Grindhouse option and both films as they were/will be released in Europe (with added scenes).

July:
Rescue Dawn (If they give it a wide opening...just in NY and LA right now)
Sunshine

August:
The Bourne Ultimatum
Rush Hour 3
Stardust
The Last Legion (maybe)
The Hottest State (possibly)
The Invasion (Maybe...might suck. Who knows?)
Death Sentence (Again, maybe. These are the ones that're interesting enough for me to check reviews on when they comes out)
The Nines (I just found this one. "A troubled actor, a television show runner, and an acclaimed videogame designer find their lives intertwining in mysterious and unsettling ways."? I'm hooked. Tell me more)

September: (All a maybe except Jesse James, Across the Universe and The Kingdom)
Fierce People
Shoot Em Up
The Signal
The Brave One
Dragon Wars
Eastern Promises
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Cover
Good Luck Chuck
Across the Universe
The Kingdom
The Darjeeling Limited

Wow...now that I actually go through and look, that is a lot of movies. Of course, a lot of them are limited releases that I'll never get to see. I really ought to move to New York or LA...I'll just end up netflixing them, if nothing else. All the ones I marked as maybes or some such, they're interesting, and as they get closer I'll check reviews and examine the trailers, and decide if I want to see them.

And I know I kind of avoided comedies...it's not really my genre. I don't mind them, but it seems to me that it's easier for a comedy to be really good or really bad. So I tend to assume the worst until I know different. I never really find myself looking forward to comedies.
