Or maybe the day after Monday. Here goes. June’s here and new movies will be popping up in theaters everywhere. Here is a list of the movies I would like to see, if I had the time and money to see them all.
The A-Team opening on June 11: I was/am a fan of the original. From that stand-point, I am wary of seeing this movie and having it suck, ruining my fan status. Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper are marvelous actors and clearly, the makers of this movie are fans of the original. With that in mind, I know this movie will be fun and full of gratuitous explosions. And if they put Liam Neeson in a Swamp Thing costume smoking a cigar, that won’t be a bad thing.
The Karate Kid opening on June 11: June 11 is an unofficial take back the 80′s holiday and the theaters are jumping into it with both feet with this second remake. When I first heard that they were remaking The Karate Kid, I reacted with revulsion. No way can they re-do Daniel-san and Mr. Miyagi, and if they tried, I wasn’t going to go see it and I would actively tell anyone who would listen to go watch the original. Luckily, this is a whole new kid and a whole new teacher. The trailers look fun and fresh, and who wouldn’t want to see Jackie Chan show a kid some kung-fu moves? I will even try to take my kids to this show and maybe after we will come home and I will have them ‘paint the fence’.
Wow. June is a slim month for movies. I know, I know… Toy Story 3 is opening on June 18th but to be honest I am one of the very few who never got excited about those movies even though I love Tom Hanks and Tim Allen. They are fun and well done but just not something I ‘have to see’.
So what movies will you be sitting down, in front of a big screen with a gallon of popcorn, to watch?
