Dianosis' Summer Movie Preview 2...
My list of movies that MIGHT be good but time will tell
1. The Strangers
I almost put this in my excited to see list because of the following picture:
Man that movie looks creepy. Still seeing as how I haven't really heard of this movie at all it could go either way.
2. The Incredible Hulk
So I really liked the first Hulk movie. I enjoyed its artistic style even though it had little action and the super-villain plot didn't make much sense. So this movie could be bad if they decide to dumb it down. Then again Edward Norton is heavily in the movie and he's made really good movies in the past. On the other hand he was supposedly acting like a complete tool for the entire making of it.
3. Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
I really liked this book but for some reason I never went to watch the first movie. So I can't really recommend it. Still, it looks good.
4. Kung-Fu Panda
Dreamworks animated movies tend to go either way. If the jokes are funny and the kung-fu is cool, this could be a must see.
5. The Happening
M. Night Shyamalan has made some really good movies and he has made some huge pieces of crap (sorry Carlos, I didn't like The Village). I am probably going to give it a shot if there is nothing else to watch.
6. Hancock
The premise of a drunk asshole super-hero sounds like a really interesting movie but I am afraid it might not go dark enough which would make this kind of like My Super Ex-Girlfriend.
7. Get Smart
The original show was written by Mel Brooks. If they keep his humor more than they pander to families with cartoony humor and kids saying cute lines, then this could be a good movie.
8. Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Its Star Wars but if the live action movies felt to kiddie friendly then what will an actual cartoon be like? The 15-minute Clone Wars cartoons were really cool though, so if they focus on Jedi action this could be awesome.
9. The X-Files: I Want To Believe
I was a huge fan of The X-Files, but I never watched the last season. This could be good or bad. I just don't know.
10. Tropic Thunder
This has got to be the strangest comedy coming out this summer. Robert Downey Jr. plays an actor who dyes his skin to play a part written for a black guy. That sounds terrible and funny at the same time. Ben Stiller is the lead though but hopefully he'll not be playing the same part he's been playing since There's Something About Mary.
11. What Happens In Vegas
I want to hate this movie but parts of it sound funny. What can I say?
12. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
I don't really think we need another Mummy sequel, especially in a year with Indiana Jones playing but Jet Li may save this movie if they don't CG him too much.
I know this one was late but I will try to put part 3 up tomorrow.

I am a HUGE fan of the original Get Smart (I can't believe Rennie has never seen it) so I am torn about seeing it. I don't want it to be this years Transformers.
Neto you left out the poughkeepsie tapes
watch the preview for that
it is awesome.
Carlos, I am sorry. You are correct. Rennie is the one who had the bad taste at this blog's birth.
Rennie I am basing my lists on the list from the A.V. Club. It is made up of the major releases that are guaranteed to open everywhere. I am not sure if Poughkeepsie Tapes (which I will watch either in theatres or on DVD) will open in Fort Worth.
OMg i forgot you were gonna be here. Finally somebody else that likes movies.
