Release Date - June 11
This movie looks like a total cheeseball flick, but I loved the TV show when I was a kid, so I'm hoping to love this movie now that I'm an adult. Lots of guns, big explosions, tons of fights - really, what's not to love?? I'm not so sure Liam Neeson was the right choice to play Hannibal, and I'm more than a little nervous about Quinton "Rampage" Jackson as B.A. Baracus, but as far as I'm concerned, Bradley Cooper as Faceman, and Sharlto Copley as Murdock, was simply pure casting genius!! I love it when a plan comes together.
4. Robin HoodRelease Date - May 14
10 years ago Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe teamed up and created what, in my humble opinion, is one of the ten best films of all time - Gladiator! This month they're back with their take on the classic tale, Robin Hood. Watching the trailer, it looks like a cross between the aforementioned Gladiator and and another of my favourite movies, Braveheart. Let's face it, Scott + Crowe = Pure Awesomeness!
Release Date - May 7
Ahhhh, the first of the big summer blockbusters - and I can't wait!!! I didn't see the first movie in the theater because quite frankly, I wasn't interested in Iron Man. Yes, I'd heard how great it was. But still - I had ZERO interest. When it was released on DVD, I rented it for my kids - and OH. MY. GOD! Did this movie kick ass or what?!?? Now, I'm giddy with anticipation waiting for the next chapter in the Iron Man franchise! Only 2 more sleeps!!
Release Date - July 9
I was a huge fan of the original Predator with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and I know I'm in the minority, but I actually really enjoyed Predator 2 as well. So when I initially heard that there was going to be a Predators movie, I was 50% excited, and 50% worried that we were going to get the same kind of crap that we saw in AVP and AVP2. However, the movie is based on a script that Robert Rodriguez (producer) wrote back in 1994 and is considered a direct sequel to the 1987 original, ignoring the events of Predator 2 and the AVP movies. And I'm pretty sure it's going to get an 'R' rating which is fantastic news!! From the look of the trailer, and the character featurettes that have been released through the official website, this movie looks like it is going to be freakin' amazing!
Release Date - August 13
If action movies could produce an orgasm - this would be the one to do it! While I have been looking forward to this particular movie for the last year or so (I just about died when they moved the release date from April to August), I have been waiting for a film like this my whole life! The movie features the who's who of the 80's and 90's action movies - Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Eric Roberts, Mickey Rourke, Danny Trejo - and oh yeah, a killer cameo scene with Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Really, need I say more??

The A-Team--uh uh. No way am I seeing that. I think my childhood memories of the original series will be destroyed. :(
Robin Hood looks silly. I hate "the untold story" of things. :P And the "Maid Marion" character being a "knight"? Psh. I dunno, not a theatre movie...might check it out when it's on DVD.
Iron Man 2--YES! I loved the first one, even though I thought I wouldn't. I'm a sucker for RDJr, anyways.
Predators...I had no idea this was coming out! I like the originals, and AVP wasn't too bad (I didn't know there was an AVP2). Might have to check it out.
The Expendables---YES YES YES! Arnold, Stallone, Jet Li, Lundgren, Statham, Austin, Bruce Willis, Charisma Carpenter (damn--haven't seen her since Angel!)!!!!!
Explosions, big guns, good action---everything I love in a movie! They're only missing Gerard Butler (have you seen Gamer?) and Clive Owen for some more macho men with big guns. :D Oh yeah! Definitely going to see that!
