Iron Man
Speed Racer
Indy!
Dark Knight
The Incredible Hulk
Wall-E
Wanted
And pretty muche everything that will be showing at the Music Box.
Iron Man! And maybe Speed Racer (although it looks a little too hyper and cotton-candyish for me). But then again, those type of blockbuster movies are the only ones they promote so that you can look forward to them. The others kind of sneak up on you. I mean, was there a year-long buzz over "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"?
Baby Mama-- it's out tomorrow. Awesome.
That's all I can think of right now.
Sex and the City. I know a lot people gave this show shit, but I thought it was very smart, I'm just interested to see what the story is going to be for the movie. I was looking forward to Young @ Heart, but I saw it and loved it.
Iron Man
Speed Racer
Prince Caspian (Narnia)
Dark Night
Indiana Jones 4, The Dark Knight, The Happening (still love Shyamalan), Hancock, and Hulk 2 (only cause Norton's a bad-ass actor).
Sin City II
and that movie where the round opens up and swallows every body down to the infernal molten core
who goes to see Sex in the City or rents it.
I also think The Punisher is coming out with another installment!
The Dark Knight is the only movie that I'm actively looking forward to seeing over the summer.
Dark Knight
Indy (only because Marion is back)
Choke (based on the Pahlaniuk book)
Pineapple Express
Hellboy two and
Young @ Heart !
Can't believe I forgot Hellboy 2.
And looking at my list, I see that every single one of them is an adaptation from a book or comic.
Hmm. I think that just means I haven't been watching enough trailers that others stuck in my head.

Just have to say, thought... Saw "Iron Man" last night.
Pretty f*cking good. And I'm a tough customer.
No spoilers from me though. Just go see it.
Mister Lonely
Sex and the City! (totally agree with Annie--very smart show)
Also Indiana Jones, Dark Knight, and MAYBE Get Smart
So ... can someone explain why Sex in the City is good? I watch it sometimes, but I usually consider it a guilty pleasure.
Simone, the same reason that “Red Eye” like publications continue to increase even amongst the “educated” as does reality TV, etc, etc, etc.
I would suggest checking out the following books
“The Age of American Unreason” and “The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America - A Chronological Paper Trail” But as substantial reading in America including novels is down to an all time low, why bother?
But 100 years from now hopefully a civilized and reflective people will understand that Bush is a mirror of American stupidity
p.s that's a keeper!
"Sex and the City! a very smart show!"
Indiana Jones, Dark Knight. All the others can suck it.
Spook…so let me get this straight.
You answer the post with the movies you have seen/want to see. You actually list the movies you have seen and want to see!
THEN, you give your plug about how “substantial reading in America including novels is down to an all time low”.
Since you are here judging people in the most hypocritical way, please allow me to judge.
This question should be “what Netflix new release movie are you looking forward to the most”. The reason is that movies in theaters are absolutely the most disgusting place on earth. Have you seen the scumbags that hang out at movie theaters? Have you seen the scumbags that work there?
Oh, there is a special $5 Wednesday’s?
The lower the price, the MORE scumbags that come out to see the movie.
In the privacy of my own home, no scumbags allowed! Gotta love Netflix!
There was that story of a theater who wants to charge $35 for a movie…BAM! I’ll be there. No scumbag will pay that much to soak up the A/C. No scumbag will pay that much for a chance to take a nap while the scumbag kids talk and walk around throughout the whole movie.
Anyways, Spook, it seems odd that in your way of thinking, it is “okay” to go to movies…but reality TV and the Red Eye “dumb down America”.
P.S. Spook...you forgot to mention you were originally from New York
P.S.S. I am looking forward to ZERO movies coming out to the theater.
B/S Monitor
Remember I was just answering the lady's question!
But its all about the quaility of the movies not when they come out
So in your case I would say
see you around the Zombie Apocalypse. But as you have not been steeped in The George A. Romero Trilogy.
You will not survive.
Hopefully you will be put down with a bullet to the brain, least you rise as the first B/S Monitor Zombie!!!!!!!
p.s a slow moving Zombie of course!
Oh, how netflix has revolutionized movie-watching. New dvd releases I'm looking forward to:
King Corn
Sweeney Todd
Hannah Takes the Stairs
Persepolis
Juno
I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With
As soon as Gang Banger Video on Armitage and Kedzie gets the last season of HBO's The Wire in June, I'm all over it like Omar be on drug dealers!
Urban Ethos [26]
What is Chicago's "urban ethos"?
Cool Glass of... [16]
What're you drinking?
Supreme Decision [22]
What's your reaction to the Supreme Court's decision on the Affordable Care Act?
Taking it to the Streets [20]
Chicago Street Fairs: Revolting or Awesome?
I Can Be Cruel [9]
Be real: what is the meanest thing you've ever done?
