Weezer’s Summer 2010 Movie Guide

Summer is back again and, as usual, offers us a barrage of new flicks. Some of the following movies I am REALLY excited about and have been waiting on for some time (Iron Man 2, Robin Hood, Toy Story 3, Inception). The rest at least look good enough to have sparked my interest. There are some  big movies out this summer that didn’t make the list (ex. Sex and the City 2, Eclipse: The Twilight Series), and that’s simply because I have no desire to see them and won’t be telling others to either. As usual, this list is not all-inclusive, and there may be a few movies that slipped past me. If I discover any, I’ll let you know. And again, please remember that my OFFICIAL stamp of approval is not on ANY of these movies just yet, as they’re not out yet and thus I haven’t seen them. Thanks- >

Iron Man 2 – Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow – it’s IRON MAN 2, what else is there to say? – May 7^th

Robin Hood – stars Russell Crowe  and Cate Blanchett , directed by Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, American Gangster). Robin Hood rules. This film is supposed to be the back-story/prequel to the typical Robin Hood tale about Robin vs. Prince John/Sheriff of Nottingham – May 14^th

Shrek: Forever After – while I was disappointed in the 3^rd film of the series, Shrek movies are still better animated films than any besides Pixar stuff, so I had to throw it in here. – May 21

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time – stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Alfred Molina, and Ben Kingsley. Based on the video game. – think Aladdin meets Indiana Jones meets Bourne. Something like that lol. Basically it’s an action/adventure set in like 9th century Persia.  – May 28

Get Him to the Greek – sort of a follow-up to the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Jonah Hill is now a record company intern in charge of getting Russell Brand’s character Aldous Snow to a concert on time. Might be funny, we’ll see. June 4th

Toy Story 3 – Round 3 of the best animated movies ever. YES. June 18

Grown-Ups – stars Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, and Rob Schneider – it’s about 5 childhood friends who are reunited years later. With that cast, it should be a comedy worth checking out. June 25th

The Last Airbender – M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs, The Village) movie; could be good, not sure. By the trailers, he seems to be venturing out from his typical spooky suspense thriller genre into more of an action flick. I’m interested to see how he does with that. July 2

Inception – stars Leonardo DiCaprio and a good supporting cast; directed by Christopher Nolan (he’s done a few small films such as Batman Begins, The Prestige, and The Dark Knight) it’s a sort of a science fiction film dealing with the human mind – very cool. – July 16^th

Salt – stars Angelina Jolie and Liev Schreiber, about a CIA agent who is believed to be a Russian spy – July 23^rd

Dinner For Schmucks – comedy starring Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, and Zach Galifianakis. It’s about a a guy who gets a promotion and is invited to a dinner where big shots bring stupid people as their guests, solely to make fun of them. Looks awesome. – July 23rd

The Other Guys – a comedy about an unlikely pairing of cops (Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg). Could be funny, Wahlberg is funny. Ferrell can be funny. – Aug 6th

The Expendables – listed solely cause it sounds hilarious, it’s a Sylvester Stallone directed, over-the-top action flick with some of the biggest names in action – Sly Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Steve Austin, etc. Aug 20

Hopefully this should be enough movie watching to keep you satisfied for the summer. As I said before, I will do my best to report on the movies I see as well as reviews I read to help keep people in good movies and out of bad ones. Peace ->
