1989 summer flicks- UHF!, Indiana Jones 3, Batman, and some other great ones

May 2nd- X2, XMEN 2! The first was good, and I have high hopes for the second one since I love comics

May 15th- Matrix Reloaded, now the orignal was overhype, but IT WAS STILL AWESOME, as unorignal as Matrix was on so many levels it brought everything together with great direction and effects, and hopefully this one will too... Maybe it have some Orignality this time around though:big_grin:

May 23rd- Bruce Almighty, featuring 3 great actors, Jim Carrey who is typecast way too often as just a comedian and did such greats as the Majestic and the Truman Show but was hilarious in Lier Lier, Also featuring Jenifer Anston, great actor... and Morgon Freeman best work IMO was Seven! This is about persistent complainer curses God for all that's wrong in the world... so the Almighty challenges him to do a better job in the space of just one week - otherwise mankind will be sent back to the Dark Ages.

May 30th, The Italian Job- Featuring the really incredible Edward Norton who best film IMO is American History X follow closely by Fight Club and Death to Smootchy... This is a remake of a 1969 classic

June 6th, 2 Fast 2 Furious- The orignal was a guilty pleasure I must say, and I hate vin diesal so thankfully he not in the sequal so this should be good!

June 13th- Freddy vs. Jason, THIS SHALL BE AWESOME!!!!! Though I wish Wes Craven was connected to the project, it still will be good...In ****, Freddy Krueger decides to raise Jason Voorhees from the dead in an effort to use the killer for his own bidding, but even he can't control the power of Jason and the two end up facing off with each other with some teens caught in the middle.

June 20th- The Hulk!, This shall be great especially with Ang Lee directing, and Jennifer Connelly starring in it... Just in case some of you out there aren't die hard muppet fans who know all of the actors of every movie, Jennifer Connelly was the main charachter in the Labyrinth, and did a mind blowing performance in Requiem for a Dream(No Pun intended:big_grin:) and Beutiful Mind.

June 27th, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle- Even though the first one wasn't that great, I'm sorry I'm a guy and hot women kicking ***, this is going be great, I love the first scene which is seen in the trailer...

July 2nd- Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, I love all movies, and I enjoy the first one... It had a nice story to it, which brings hope to people and hopefully the same can be said for the sequal.

July 2nd- TERMINATOR 3! Even though James Cameron not attach, I like the director they got and have high hopes for the movie...

Pirates of the Carribean (July 9th) - Based on the legendary Disney theme park ride, "Pirates" focuses on a daring attempt by a young man who enlists pirates in an attempt to rescue his young love from other dangerous pirates who are trying to reverse an ancient curse.

July 11- The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Based on the Alan Moore graphic novel. Queen Victoria has assembled a group of various famous literary figures like Dr. Jekyll and The Invisible Man to stop a mad man plotting a World War.

July 18th- Exorcist: The Beginning- Need I say more...
also Bad boys 2!

Might be good:
When Harry Met Lloyd: Dumb & Dumberer (July 18th) - Prequel which follows Harry and Lloyd - lovable best buddies who are big on heart but short on intellect - as they meet and try to survive high school including a janitor who adopts one, an inept school principal and Harry's lusty mother.

july 25th- Tomb Raider 2: Cradle of Life- This time explorer Lara Croft discovers the mythical Pandora's Box in an underwater temple, only to have it stolen from her by a Chinese crime syndicate and their employer who wants to go about causing doomsday.

August 1st- An American Wedding- hey the gang is back again and at least pie not in the title anymore lol, I like the first 2 and this should be good as well

S.W.A.T. (August 8th) - The disgruntled ex-leader of a Los Angeles Police Department's SWAT unit is called back in to reform a new team in order to protect a dangerous high profile criminal from rival gangsters intent on killing off the competition - permanently.

And to end the summer is a nice horror movie

August 29th- Jeepers Creepers 2- the first one was excellent for the first half, then went down hill hopefully this will be better and great the whole way through....

OMG!?!??!?!?! Someone on here who sees 2003 could be the greatest year for movies since 1989!?!?!? Wait, did you read my posts about this...oh wait, that was a long time ago. Man that is too much! Yessss...1989....ghostbusters 2, Back to the Future 2, Batman(the first good comic book film), UHF, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Wizard, etc.

2003?

The Matrix Reloaded
The Matrix Revolutions
Animatrix
Terminator 3
Xmen 2
The Hulk
Daredevil
Lord of the Rings 3(finally get to see how this ends!)

Right there its enought to make a fanboy/girl wet their pants...

Though there are a gillion sequels/prequels that make me cringe. Charlies Angels 2? Fast and the Furious 2? Dumb and Dumber prequel? Jason vs Freddy? Holy hide for cover Batman!
And need I point out the dozen or so cheapquels Disney will be releasing onto clueless unsuspectign parents^_^

to comment on freddy vs jason is going to be awesome, i have not seen the movie, but horror movies have taken a back seat into becoming very bad. if this movie is going to be good, it needs to be entertaining and scary, not dumb!
