The only movies you should see this summer are Thor, Super 8, The Tree of Life and Cowboys and Aliens. Perhaps Hesher as well, because everyone knows I am a sucker for Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I am choosing to sit out Pixar's offering of Cars 2 this year because Cars is their most "Dreamworksy" property in my opinion. The studio that produces such emotionally moving and theme driven films as "Wall-E" "Up" "The Incredibles" and "Toy Story 3" should stay away from a sequel with Larry the Cable Guy making an idiot of himself in Japan.
Here's a list of movies that I think will be terrible off the top of my head.
-The new Pirates of the Carribean. I can't wait to see Johnny Depp try to be endearing again by stumbling around like an idiot for 3 hours in a convoluted mess of terrible sea-faring mythology. BUT THIS TIME IT'S IN 3D!
-Mr. Poppers Penguins-kill me now. It's Jim Carrey! It's Penguins! Unless he does an exact impersonation of Ace Ventura complete with no more than 15 "aaaaaaaaaaallllrighty thens!", don't show this to me.
-The Zookeeper. It's a movie with Kevin James. This guarantees that I will never see it unless I am detained at Guantanamo Bay and forced to watch it as torture for downloading bittorrent files.
-The Smurfs. Everyone knows I love beloved 80's cartoons turned CGI and filled with hip-hop references. It's my favorite genre of anything.
