Summertime. The season where my Fanboy really gets to be fulfilled after hibernating through all the Oscar snobbery. Here are my top picks for this seasons fanboy films.
10) The Boat That Rocked – Really exciting cast plus the guy who brought you “Knotting Hill” and “Love Actually” in a new comedy. How can I not be waiting in anticipation.
9) The Hangover – Real reason I checked this one out is because Zach Galifianakis is in it. Turns out Ed Helms is in it too and it looks pretty funny.
Funny People – Co-produced by Happy Madison Productions and Apatow Productions with the leading guys from both companies heading up the casting line. You know you’re curious.
7) G.I. Joe – Any boy who grew up with the most awesome toy soldier in the world that was held together at the waist by a weird hook and rubber band contraption will be seeing this movie. I am one of those boys.
6) Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – Will gladly be paying the overly expensive ticket price at the box office to see some more ultimate fanboy madness in the form of robots in disguise. Thank you very much.
5)Up – Pixar. That is all that really needs to be said.
4) Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince – By far my favorite book from the series. Been waiting since last Winter when they pushed this one back to a Summer release.
3) Terminator Salvation – Can a terminator film be successful without Arnold headlining it? I think so. But don’t worry, our governor will be making a cameo just in case.
2) Star Trek – I was devistated when after the release of “Nemesis” it was said that there would no longer be any Star Trek films with the “Next Generation” cast. Fortunately one of the greatest minds in film entertainment took the reigns on this restart on the Star Trek film franchise. I’ll be lining up with the other Trekkies for this one the night before.
1) Wolverine – I would see this film just to hear that beautiful “Snikt!” sound once again coming from Hugh Jackman’s knuckles. This will be another definite midnight showing on my schedule. Luckily I have a fangirl wife to join me so I don’t look like a complete nerd for this one.
