Summer Movie Madness

It's now May and the summer flicks are pouring in whetting our appetite for entertainment that requires the least amount of physical energy. We’ve already had Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy paving the way for the rest of the summer movies. Here are the ones I’m most looking forward to:

1. Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (May 19) - I think this is a no-brainer, particularly for me. It’s has the only audience where I seriously feel like I have power over. More so, it's already getting good buzz and dare I say, being compared to Empire Strikes Back. My only concern is what will I do after I see this? There are no more movies to look forward to except those TV shows sure to over-saturate our youth in all things Star Wars.
2. Mr. And Mrs. Smith (June 10) - What can I say, I like looking at pretty people and explosions.
3. Batman Begins (June 15) - I was a bit skeptical when I found out they were making another Batman movie. Each time I think to myself "This time…this time…it has to be good…" But this one is already promising good things for our Caped Crusader. And I'll take the time now to say nothing sucks about Morgan Freeman.
4. War of the Worlds (June 29) - I've officially decided I will watch ANY movie Steven Spielberg puts out. He's made that list. Sure, there have been some disappointments (AI and The Terminal come to mind) but even then they had that Spielberg charm. Call it eye-candy if you like (I know I will) but this film is going to own the box office.
5. Charlie and Chocolate Factory (July 15) - Yes, I love Roald Dahl. Yes, I love Tim Burton films (Planet of the Apes did not exist). And yes, I love Johnny Depp.
6. The Island (July 22) - If I haven't already mentioned it, I heart Ewan McGregor. If he were to ask me to make babies with him, I would. I mean, he sings, dances AND is a Jedi Knight! And say what you will about Michael Bay movies, they are always fun and action-packed (or encouraging suicide like Pearl Harbor). Plus Scarlett Johannson also graces us with her presence in this action/sci-fi. If she were to ask me also, I might consider making babies with her as well.
7. Guilty Pleasure Alert: Bewitched (June 24) - What I originally thought was going to be a straight-up remake that would most likely make fun at itself, turns out to be about something completely different. Will Ferrel can do no wrong in a comedy. I'm not even talking about writing; just put him in front of a camera and promise him snacks after filming and you’ll have comedic gold on your hands.
