My yearly blog entry to appease Frey (and to help me keep track of what I want to see). Titles linked to trailers for your convenience.
May
7th - Iron Man 2 - Sounds like it's not quite as good as the first one, but still enjoyable.
14th - Robin Hood - Looks like Ridley Scott based this on absolutely nothing and just named it Robin Hood for sales.
21st - MacGruber - Looks like another SNL flop to me, but I guess I'll wait and see before I pass my final judgment.
21st - Shrek Forever After - Early reviews show this being just as bad the 3rd. RIP Shrek series...shoulda stopped after 2.
28th - Prince of Persia: Sands of Time - Could this be the first video game made into a good movie? I doubt it.
June
4th - Get Him to the Greek - Forgetting Sarah Marshall wasn't even that great so I'm not sure why they felt the need for a spinoff without any of the main characters and adding P Diddy.
4th - Killers - Mr. and Mrs. Smith but without awesome actors.
4th - Splice - This is either going to be awesome or awesomely bad.
11th - The A-Team - Calling it right now, this will be the biggest flop of the summer.
11th - Karate Kid - Jackie Chan might make this enjoyable but other than that it won't hold a candle to the original.
18th - Toy Story 3 - 
18th - Jonah Hex - Hoping that Megan Fox's acting skills (or lack thereof) don't ruin this movie cuz it looks kinda cool.
25th - Grown Ups - An amazing cast of comedians, hopefully it delivers.
25th - Knight and Day - Looks exactly like a Mission Impossible movie.
July
2nd - The Last Airbender - Curios to see what M. Night Shamalamadingdong can do with an anime.
9th - Predators - I wrote this one off since there hasn't been a good Predator movie since the original, but after watching the trailer I'm definitely interested.
9th - Despicable Me - Based on the commercials I know absolutely nothing about this movie but that doesn't prevent me from wanting to see it.
16th - Inception - Definitely looks like the type of movie that you'll have to put your thinking cap on for.
16th - The Sorcerer's Apprentice - I can't even remember the last good movie starring Nick Cage, but I'll give him another shot.
23rd - Dinner for Schmucks - Paul Rudd and Steve Carell are what give me hope for this movie being funny.
23rd - Salt - I think everyone is hitting the nail on the head by calling this the Female Jason Bourne movie.
30th - The Adjustment Bureau - Really have nothing to say about this one except that I'm intrigued.
August
6th - The Other Guys - Mark Whalhlberg and Will Ferrell could make for a pretty funny comedy duo.
13th - The Expendables - Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Steve Austin and cameos from Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger...that has got to be the most ass-kickingest cast ever assembled.
13th - Scott Pilgrim vs The World - Michael Cera fighting his new girlfriend's seven exes...in Mortal Kombat fashion. Awesome.
There you have it, my Top 25 movies of Summer 2010. All in all, kind of a down year but there could be some real sleeper hits in there.
