Most Anticipated Movies of Summer 2012
1. The Dark Knight Rises – Is he good or is he bad? Christian Bale is less an actor than he is a guy who keeps his a-hole persona intact no matter what.
2. Prometheus – Not as good as the original, but what is?
3. The Avengers – I missed this when everyone else saw it, but I have a soft spot for super hero movies other don’t start Christian Bale.
4. Moonrise Kingdom – I’ve loved every single movie that Wes Anderson has made, so I’ll love this.
5. Brave – Disney wants you to know that it knows that girls don’t all aspire to be helpless princesses.
6. Dark Shadows – lots of 70’s jokes. looks funny.
7. Lawless – I can’t decide on this one. Prohibition, punching, shooting, Gray Oldman, etc.
8. The Bourne Legacy – ill be curious to see if the series works without my main man Jason Bourne.
Honorable mention:
The Amazing Spider-Man – I’m not ready for another spiderman
Rock of Ages – an 80s Rock musical So bad it’s good? I’ll be the judge of that.
Men in Black 3 – I’m going to enjoy this on HBO two years from now.
The Odd Life of Timothy Green – Childless couple creates a super baby Disney style. Hearts will melt as programmed.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter – can the movie be as good as the premise? I doubt it.
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
You missed one, 2016
What’s wrong with Christian Bale as Batman? I sorta like this one.
A movie probably made with Delaware Liberal readers in mind:
The Campaign, with Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis. About two South Carolinians running for Congress. The trailer.
I might skip this one.
“Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”
Read the book instead. Came out maybe 3 years ago? By the same guy who wrote “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.”
I’m seeing the Dark Knight Rises in IMAX on July 19th. Have to sit through a 1 hour Citrix presentation, but then the movie in IMAX glory. Worth the drive to the King of Prussia Mall 🙂
Interested to see what the movie makers did with Jack Reacher. In the books, he’s 6′ 5″ tall and Tom Cruise is playing him.
