Today is the first of May, and it also happens to be a Friday, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine also happens to be opening today - so all of those things combined means...THE SUMMER MOVIE SEASON IS UPON US!
(Yes...this situation calls for ALL CAPS. MEvBLOG isn't equipped with a Dolby THX sound system.)
So, if you're tired of sub-par-to-marginal cinematic fair now you can enjoy slightly better material, but with more explosions. Because it's not a Summer Movie if the theater walls aren't shaking, are we right??
Here's a list of the big films we can't wait to see:
Star Trek (May 8) - J.J. Abrams - creator of Alias and Lost - updates the classic TV series with lots of pretty new faces. Cross your fingers for a Shatner/Nimoy cameo.
Terminator: Salvation (May 25) - Christian Bale takes over the John Connor role, while yelling and growling his way through a resistance against renegade machines. And that's just his off-camera performance...HEY-OH! Cross your fingers for a Schwarzenegger cameo.
The Hangover (June 5) - Three guys lose a groom after a wild bachelor party in Vegas that none of them can remember. Later, they all grow up to be Democratic Congressmen.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (June 24) - The plot couldn't be less important. Machines shape-shift, large things blow up, and Autobots roll out. If they gave Oscars for kicking ass, this would probably clean up.
Public Enemies (July 1) - Johnny Depp is John Dillinger, wears a fedora, robs banks, and beds a hot woman. Man-crushes of all sorts abound.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (July 15) - The sixth book-to-movie in the popular series should be great. Besides, Warner Bros. owes us one after postponing it from last fall so they could release that Twilight nonsense instead.
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (Aug. 7) - Yo Joe! Based on the famous toys and cartoon, it's directed by Stephen Sommers who's done some of the worst movies of all time (Van Helsing). Still, since we formerly owned all the G.I. Joe toys, we're buying tickets even if it's a stinker. We just thought you should know that because, after all, knowing is half the battle.
What summer movies are you looking forward to?

Inglorious Bastards. Not sure when it comes out but who doesn't want to see Tarantino give the Nazis the Kill Bill treatment.
RE: MC
I'll bet you fifty bucks it will somehow include too many pop culture references and lots of violence against women.
I heart Wolverine!
Re: the photo: How on earth does this guy use the bathroom? Does he have a girlfriend/wife? And does he "drive" a car? To all of the above: How?
RE: jmck
I saw "Wolverine" this weekend and, sad to say, it was "Meh."
