Status: offline 		Tis the season for big summer movie, and the big budget, big effects, that demand the big screen and big sound. What have you seen, or are waiting for?

The Avengers: We wound up seeing this a second time, with some family who hadn't. A great ride. We were looking forward to this season kick-off, and rented Thor and Captain America, so we would be up to speed on the players.

Men in Black III: I went prepared for a bad second sequel. It wasn't.

Prometheus: Damn. The best thing I can say about this experience is that the wife and I passed a couple nice evenings with her seeing the original Alien, and Aliens, in more than bits and pieces over the years. It's easy to suspend disbelief and keep enjoying, when the technolgy aboard the spaceship in the prequel is far superior to what was aboard the first ship, but that script was bad.

Spoiler note; if they happen, please keep them marked, at least a couple weeks old, and deep enough into the post to stay off the scroll.

On calendar: Gotta see the last of this Batman series.

I'm curious about Ted. It's either going to be great or horrible, so I'm waiting for the reviews.

I really want to see The Avengers and I'm planning a Magic Mike outing with friends when it opens. ;))

I agree. Nice to see a strong female character who can aim well, but apart from that...nothing. (Kinda' stupid, really.)

I just saw A New Leaf with my sub. I'm a little behind the times.

I also want to see Rock of Ages.  I guess it doesn't qualify as a "summer flick" and I know it didn't get great reviews, but the music!  All that great 80s music!

Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter is next.
I enjoyed the book. Sad if the movie sucks.
I just found out tonight Rufus Sewell is
in it. I'm willing to sit through a awful
movie for Rufus Sewall.

Status: offline 		Saw 'Dark Shadows.' It was better than I thought it would be. Very different from the soap opera. Fairly decent, but not for everyone.

Avengers: I was not blown away as so many others were. There were too many plot holes.

Prometheus added more questions than it answered. It's set up for a sequel, but THEY ALREADY MADE THE BLOODY SEQUEL! It was called 'Aliens.'

Status: offline 		I was looking VERY much forward to the release of Prometheus.
I "hyped" myself more than the hypemachine did.
It held so much promise... Giegers sketches and preliminary work for Alien with the production company had already provided material that I thought was to be investigated in this film.
It wasn't... well.. hardly anyway.
Sorely disapointed.

Now I'm booking bums on seats for the next Batman... I'm really liking the darker, gothic feel coming to the fore.

Neil deGrasse Tyson on "Prometheus" Gaffe

First, Neil deGrasse Tyson spoiled Jack and Rose's final goodbye in "Titanic," and now he accuses Charlize Theron of making a space travel gaffe.

Status: offline 		Like with anything, opinions soooo vary. We saw "Avengers" and really enjoyed it. I saw "Dark Shadows" and didn't care for it at all. Most recently, I saw "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter." Regardless of how "awful" others have said it is, I liked the hell out of it and thought it was fun and entertaining. I'm not sure what they found so "awful" in it. Doesn't matter, really. I give it a 7 or 8 out of 10. Who cares what THEY thought? Who are THEY anyway?

We're going to see "Prometheus" next and He really wants to see "Ted." I'm afraid they put any slightly funny part in the trailer but, we'll see. Can't wait for the "Dark Knight" movie and we've been waiting years now for "Django Unchained." We'll be there to see that on Christmas Day and may watch it twice it looks so good. Been having Tarentino withdrawals since "Inglorious Bastards." Also, I want to see the new Baz Luhrman "Great Gatsby" at Christmas as well. And "Savages."
