First, two notes: 1) it is my female and cinephilic duty to go see Bridesmaids. Am already behind. 2) I am boycotting Pirates 4 and Transformers 3.
May 27 - The Tree of Life (#omygawedddddabahahahaazomggfuckyeah)
June 3 - X-Men: First Class. (Wait. Realistically speaking, I'll probably end up catching it online.)
June 10 - Super 8
June 21 + 28 - I got tickets to see the extended versions of Lord of the Rings (The Two Towers and Return of the King, respectively) in theaters this summer! booyah
July 15 - CANNOT. DEAL.
......And then, um, I don't see anything particularly interesting until October. That's ok. The summer's more interesting than I initially imagined, even with all the unspeakable sequels.
No Oscar predictions on the horizon. Last year continually surprised everyone with the onslaught of pretty good/great movies that started in summer (The Kids Are All Right, Inceptions), but it feels like slim pickings this year. The movies that have dominated the conversation aren't the usual Oscar fare. And the releases of November/December (peak Oscar season) are somewhat worrying, as they're all family adventures or thrillers (Tintin, Happy Feet 2, Mission Impossible, the Muppets movie). Hopefully the announcement of more releases will assuage these concerns.
Can't wait for Super 8!
