Summer Movie Preview...
Yeah, I know. I'm late with it. The Summer Movie Season started last week. Don't worry though, we'll cover it...
Perhaps the movie that I was most anticipating this summer kicked off the season last week. Mission: Impossible III. Yes, it is leaps and bounds better than Numero Dos. Yes, it has a certain new sense of style brought to it by J.J. Abrams. Yes, the action is pretty much non-stop. Yes, Philip Seymour Hoffman is one bad mofo. And, finally, yes, they could have called it The RUN TOM! RUN! Show and the title would have been fitting. So, I remain optimistic for some of the features upcoming this summer. Including...
Movies That I'm Signed On For: X-Men 3, Superman Returns, A Scanner Darkly, Pirates of the Caribbean, Miami Vice, and Snakes on a Plane (MOTHER FUCKER!)
Movies That I'm Unsure About, But Will Probably End Up Seeing: Cars, The Lake House, Nacho Libre and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
Picture That I Will Be Forced To See, For Whatever Reason: The Da Vinci Code - Though, I'll argue that this is me crapping on the Catholics' bashing.
Biggest Bomb of the Summer: Poseidon - It'll crack $100 million here, but the movie is somewhere north of $200 million in cost between production budget ($160 million) and advertising (???).
Highest Grosser of the Summer: The Da Vinci Code - This may be the highest grossing movie of the year.
Sleeper Hit of the Summer: My Super Ex-Girlfriend - It's got my gal pal Uma Thurman and Anna Faris... TOGETHER!
Movie With The Most Potential, That Will Fail To Live Up To It: Lady in the Water - M. Night Shy-maltyupo$219dkdl-lan killed my hopes and dreams with The Village.
Most Likely To Get An Oscar Nomination: The Science of Sleep - It has Gael Garcia Bernal, directed by Michel Gondry, and is a fantasy drama... Sounds familiar to another movie that Gondry made with Jim Carrey, except that was a Spring-ish release... Interesting...
There you have it. Southland Tales opens at Cannes, but no official word on a stateside release.
