Summer is here and I can't help but think I've seen this movie before.
Summer is here and I can’t help but think I’ve seen this movie before. Indiana Jones has aged 30 years but he’s still fighting Nazis. Wait, it’s Commies now. Either way, shouldn’t this movie be taking place in the 70’s. Throw in some flower power and we’ve got Hippy-ana Jones. Yeah Man. Now that’s something I haven’t seen before. I don’t want to see it. Flower power Indiana Jones. Maybe his whip could be made of something funny, like hemp.
Instead we’ll find out how the incredible Hulk became the incredible Hulk… again.
Oh! And let’s not forget Heath Nicklson playing opposite Christian Keaton in summer blockbuster that is sure to surprise you. Spoiler, Batman wins in the end.
Then there are the cartoons that weren’t any good getting turned into movies that don’t look any good. [Coughs] Speed racer. Even the popcorn doesn’t taste as good.
Mike Myers is in another perverse Mike Myers movie steeped with his own mojo and midgets – Yeah Baby! – And Will Ferrell is in another Will Ferrell movie acting like… Will Ferrell. I’m sorry they’re all the same.
I guess if you are really looking for originality you could check out Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, the classic bad guys who are now playing good guys that are bad guys that are really good guys. I mean the trailer on that is so morally ambiguous I’m not even sure who to root for and I haven’t even walked into the theater yet.
Need more? Let’s throw in another super hero film but this time let’s make it about Will Smith. And Ice Age is back with a bigger dinosaur. And let’s no forget everybody’s favorite, Tropic Thunder. Yet another movie about people making movies.
I mean you gotta do what you know and that’s all these people do. Isn’t there a horror film about a documentary film maker? It would be funnier if it was a documentary horror film maker, but how is there a horror documentary? Is there such a thing as horror documentary?
And I’m almost looking forward to the romantic comedy about the love expert that unexpectedly falls in love with someone else. Let’s see, takes place in a city… check. It’s too bad I’ve already seen it before.
So whether you’re haunted by this years mummy, or you feel like you’re going to have a hard time squeezing back into those traveling pants, keep your head up. There’s always Space Chimps. The sleeper hit of the summer. Hey. It could be an awesome film. I doubt it.
Honestly the best movie of the summer, you’ve probably already seen. I mean Iron Man was pretty good. I didn’t expect it to be that good.
It’s mostly clever editing …
… but I think I have see this trailer somewhere before!

Hey - I know the guy who did that trailer thingy.Kroy
So what about Prince Caspian? Or are people intentionally ignoring it? And though Hancock is going to be really funny what about Walle? Pixar hasn't really let down the fans despite having everything they have done signed over to Disney in titanium plated contracts...Lilmissgeek
yup saw iron man and really don't expect to see any others for the rest of the summer.The Brothers Winn
Hippie, I know the summer of love was in '67 but WWII wasn't really going until the early 40s. Add thirty years and we get 70s. Besides, there were plenty of hippies left over in the early 70's. And Indy would never do disco.NeuroBallroomNinja
There are still plenty of good books that Hollywood hasn't done anything with, and that's probably a good thing considering that they haven't made a movie that was as good as the books since LOTR. All hail PJ! But think about it, if hollywood writers actually had an ... moreMeandering
Of course we've seen these movies before. If Hollywood had to come up with new stuff everytime there would be no more movies and America needs movies ... right? At least good ones.Hippie

Hey... I think musical movies are totalle amazing! They are AWSOME! ;) ... I mean, the clasics are amazing, grease, dirty dancing, sound of music. And I thought Sweeney Todd was amazing too!

Wow I just re-read what I wrote...and you can totally tell it's past my bedtime. I mean to say "now we've got..." and "possibly her father...". Just thought I needed to clear that up so that you don't forget how smart your fans are. ;)Soul Sister
Oh but wait. There's one category you forgot! Musical movies! I mean come on, we had Hairspray, not we've got one coming out about a girl who has three guys that are possible her father, one of whom is played by the former James Bond. I mean, can a summer ... moreLaura B

Horror documentary = just like a regular documentary, except [dramatic pause] no one's holding the camera. Dun dun duuuuun!
