It's A Good Summer For Movies

And here's what I think(hope) the top 10 movies of the summer will be:

10) Hellboy 2: The Golden Army - Guillermo Del Toro gets more freedom! Can't wait to see what he does with it.
9) Pineapple Express - I think it's going to be the big comedy this summer. My faith in Seth Rogen continues to grow, he's done no wrong thus far. Not to mention, James Franco; fucking gorgeous.
8) Wanted - Morgan Freeman. 'Nuff said. Oh, you want more? Angelina Jolie... in another action movie. More? Umm... James McAvoy is pretty cute...
7) Kung Fu Panda - It's a perky family movie and kids are a good way to make money in the box office. I heard it was really cute.. maybe it'll pick up.
6) The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian - I think the brouhaha from the first movie will bring a little more to this one. Not to mention I need Tilda on this list somewhere.

WOOO! The Big 5! I'm excited...

5) Hancock

Will Smith can do no wrong. He is the only true A-list actor. 'Why?' you ask. Well he is the only actor whose name on a movie can guarantee $100 million on opening weekend. Seriously, ask yourself if there has ever been a bad Will Smith movie. Enough about Will, though, the movie looks genuinely funny and charming, and I can't imagine it doing bad, even with the lackluster PR campaign.


4) Star Wars: The Clone Wars

To be honest, I didn't put this on my list for me... because I'm not excited for it at all, but I think it will succeed because nerds can fund a movie like this. Examples, every other Star Wars movie, Lord of The Rings, Harry Potter. We nerds love our movies. Not only is it a nerd movie, it's also going to be big with the kids which is another big audience. So, there you have it... I feel I should switch it with Hancock but I don't wanna move them so...

3) Iron Man

I'll admit this one is kind of a cheap shot. I have already seen it and I know it's doing really well at the box office, but I still would have put it in my top 5 regardless, I have a soft spot for super hero movies. For those of you who don't know, this movie is fucking epic, go see it last month, dumbfuck.

2) Dark Knight
1) WALL-E

These two were definitely the most difficult to place, but I think this is it. Dark Knight is the movie I am most excited for for MANY reasons. First and foremost is that I think it will be the best shot, acted, and all around best movie of the summer. It will get a lot of Heath Ledger sympathizers, and I agree, he will be greatly missed, but I don't want this movie to be big for that reason alone. I truly believe it will be the greatest super hero movie to date. But here's why I think WALL-E will be top dog: PIXAR. Disney/Pixar have never failed to place #1 in the BO and I doubt highly that WALL-E will break the tradition. It's a kids movie that adults will love too and movies made for the kids that adults wont mind sitting through tend to do really well. Not that I think kids don't want to see Batman it's just the much younger ones that wont understand the depth of Batman will go see WALL-E. Though, If I am wrong, I really won't mind. In fact, I would be overjoyed. Dark Knight ftw!
