Re: Summer Flicks
Batman Begins - Well, it's a Batman movie directed by someone I respect in Christopher Nolan (Memento), so I am looking forward to it
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Another Tim Burton + Johnny Depp flick, and hopefully it will be a winner. I like the original movie a lot and I like most of Burton's other movies, so I have decent hopes for this one. I saw the preview for it last night, and it looked creepy but the Oompah Loompah's looked lame which is dissapointing.
Howl's Moving Castle - Directed by Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro, etc), this one should be amazing. I have thoroughly enjoyed every Miyasaki movie I have ever seen and I don't see myself being let down by this one which has earned over 200 million dollars in Japan already.
The Baxter - Directed by and starring Michael Showalter (The State, Stella, Wet Hot American Summer), this is probably my most anticipated movie. If Showalter is any bit as funny as he has proved to be in his past endeavors, this will undoubtedly be my favorite movie of the summer.
Can't say I know of much else that I will actually see in the theaters, and I might not have time to see any of these anyway, I will be too busy...
