This summer…
Posted by jtrussell on April 30, 2008
…might be the best summer ever. And this from the art film nerd. Some quick hits:
- Iron Man- Robert Downey, Jr instantly makes anything worth seeing
- Speed Racer- Watch the Wachowskis bring Japanese pop sensibility completely to the mainstream
- Indiana Jones 4- Even the presence of my current most hated actor (Shia LeBeouf) can’t stop me from being excited for my favorite franchise ever.
- Get Smart- TV series was brilliant (Buck Henry and Mel Brooks are genius writers). I have hope for this.
- Wall E- the trailers for this new PIXAR are pure joy
- Hellboy II- Because Ron Perelman should be a big star.
- The Dark Knight- the best comic book film series currently going
- Step Brothers- cause they still make me laugh
- The X Files 2- I love Mulder and Scully.
- Pineapple Express- new DGG!
- Tropic Thunder- see Iron Man
If half of those are good, its going to be a cool summer.
