what's up with the movies?

okay, so i can tell by mr.man's excited responses to the commercials lately that all the movies coming out within the next oh, month-2 months are boy movies.

i will get stuck going with hubby & mr.man to see iron man this weekend - which looks sucky. then, next weekend the crap-fest speed racer comes out (it looks like rollerball to me. what movie is that, you may ask? exactly), so i am sticking to my guns & vetoing speed racer.

what's up with this speed racer movie? i thought he was like a kid-racer? hubby said he is supposed to be like a young guy, blah-blah-defend-blah, but i cant help but think he was a kid & that was the whole premise, but then again, i was busy watching my little pony, sheera & jem, so maybe i missed that cartoon altoghether...but another thing is hello, how long is christina ricci going to try to play a early-to-mid-20 yo girl when she is clearly on the cusp of 30? dont get me wrong, she is totally cute - i just loved casper...

so, then there is indiana jones, which mr.man is excited about because he just loves the one where they have the monkey brains & the bugs - plus sam (from transformers) is in it, so it is automatically on his must-see list. ms.ma'am also wants to see this one. so, it looks like we will make that a fam-film...hope ford is able to keep up to the old ones in his retirement age. if not, there is always cgi.

girly-movie: kit kittredge (american girl) - so far, the only girl movie that i see is coming out this summer. ms.ma'am & i already are planning to go. she loves the american girl movies on dvd she has (samantha, molly, and felicity).

oh, wall-e looks promising. mr.man is totally into wall-e, he says it a lot & loves to look in his "toy review" magazine (which is hubby's but i let him look at it, because he should - it has toys in it for good-night sake!) which has pictures of wall-e. i am looking forward to wall-e too.

so, summer movies looks pretty "eh" to me. i used to crush on robert downey jr (pre-downfall) so i will be seeing iron man with the men this weekend.

so, here is what the american public will be seeing this summer in an attempt to keep from dying of boredome:

ironman (sounds like porn to me, one can only hope)

speed (racer), just say no

indiana jones & the retirement home mystery meat

wall-e (again, this looks actually cute, so do see it)

kit kittredge (for pre-teen girls)
