Special Edition! Summer movies!


With the 4th of July weekend behind us, we are the the full swing of summer movie season. Due to high movie prices, and the cost of gas, I haven't seen ANY of the flicks I have been looking forward to! But that is about to change! Starting this weekend, I am committed to seeing at least one movie a week. Here's my list of must sees, in no particular order:

The Dark Knight-Why? Because Gigs hearts Christian Bale AND Michael Caine. And b/c Batman Begins was sooooo coool. Add in Heath Ledger as the Joker, and, you've got a surefire hit, with bittersweet results.

Hancock-Why? Independence Day, anyone? Will Smith is so cool, that even this looks watchable.

Hellboy 2-Why? Three words--Guillermo del Toro. Need two more? Pan's Labyrinth.

WALL-E-Why? Why not? Gigs has been a Pixar fan since Toy Story.

Mamma Mia!- Why? Colin Firth! Really, that is the only reason I want to see this thing. I don't like musicals or romantic comedies, so really this is like the worst possible thing for me. A romantic comedy that sings. Hawt.

So what are your must sees this summer?

DISCLAIMER: Please DO NOT share plots, spoilers, or even opinions in the comment space. I will post a review when I see each movie, and then we can discuss. You know how Gigs is about her movies....she doesn't even like to be late for the trailers!
