I just saw Hellboy 2. It was really good actually, considering I haven't seen Hellboy 1...
I hear Wall-E is amazing.
I'm planning on the midnight premiere of The Dark Knight (Heath Ledger, RIP)

I saw Hancock, that was pretty good. Cheesy of course, and it had a major blinding curve ball in there...
Get Smart is supposed to be good as well, though I haven't seen that either.


That's all I've got, it's too early for me to try to think about others (got to love midnight premieres, it totally messes with your sleeping pattern...)

Hulk is way better than the last one, way better. But if you are going to see it watch ironman first.

X-files looks pretty good. and yeah! the dark ka-nig-hit!  :banna:

Step Brothers looks pretty funny

i might see the clone wars

probably will wait for the love guru to come out on dvd

i will never see space chimps

A handful of good films, but nothing "must see" (aside from WALL-E  :D ). It's a good summer to catch up on old cult classics and things you've been meaning to see.

For instance:
Russian Ark (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318034/)
The Ruling Class (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069198/)
La Cite des Infants Perdu (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112682/)
At Play in the Fields of the Lord (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101373/)
Tideland (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0410764/)
Sunshine (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0448134/)

I will have to see Space Chimps.  That is what happens when you have little children.  

I want to see the XFiles movie, in fact I can't wait.  Hancock has been out a while, but I haven't seen it, I heard it was awful.  We only have a small theatre here, so the non- blockbuster type movies I have to drive to the city for.

I am a total movie addict.

I guess I don't watch enough TV, I haven't heard of most of those movies coming out.  I guess I'll just wait for the DVD's to make it into Netflix's system.

Batman and Hellboy 2 sound good.  The first Hellbody movie wasn't anything special, basic action movie schlock attempting to capitalize on a fairly decent comic bood.  i just heard on the radio today that the same guy .. Guillermo Del Toro who made ,  Pan's Labyrinth (youtube trailer if you don't know what I'm talking about, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqYiSlkvRuw) (kick ass movie, not for the children) is making Hellboy 2.  I'm really interested in seeing what he does with the film.

The main movies I want to see this summer are:

WALL•E (check)
Hancock
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
The Dark Knight

I'll also be seeing Mamma Mia! because I promised my mom I'd take her to see it on her birthday.

Actually, Del Toro directed the first Hellboy movie also.  He directed it before Pan's Labyrinth.  Hellboy 2 appears to have a bigger budget than the first one.

We saw Wall-E (EXCELLENT) and Kung Fu Panda while at my mom's house last month.  I highly recommend them both.

I want to see Hancock and Hellboy II (just caught Hellboy the other day again... such fun!).   I don't want to see Dark Knight... the photos of Heath Ledger just freak me out, so I'm not up for that.

Joe watched several dozen movies while we were at Mom's house... the worst of them was 10,000 BC.  He wants to rent it again just so I don't miss out on the worst movie of the year.  LOL!

We saw the trailer for DeathRace a little while ago... how could they remake such a fun, campy movie into something that looks so dark!  Ugh.

Looking forward to:
The Mummy (whatever number they're on now... LOVE Brendan Fraser)
Religulous
Meet Dave
Journey to the Center of the Earth (Yup... Brendan again... hehe)
