Dirty Laundry: Movies

It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year…

Well, one of them anyway.  And, while I love Spring and Summer (the weather, the flowers, the Stanley Cup Playoffs, reading on the beach) what I love at least as much is Summer Movie Season.  Yes, I am a sucker for all those superhero flicks and giant robot movies and teen comedies that seem to bloom like tulips this time of year.  There will certainly be the disappointments but there are usually a handful of really fun films which make it all worth it (not always, but usually).  I’ve already seen X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which has about as many holes as a pegboard but still manages to be a ton of fun.  Lots of action and explosions and scowling (you definitely get your money’s worth in scowls).  This summer promises not to disappoint with the likes of Terminator: Salvation, Star Trek, Drag Me to Hell (Sam Raimi goes back to his Evil Dead roots), Up, Land of the Lost, Year One, Public Enemies, Harry Potter, Bruno, Inglourious Basterds, and on and on.  Pop that popcorn and turn on the air conditioning, because here I come.
