Connie Ogle, the Herald's indefatigable book editor/Weekend editor/part-time movie reviewer, is so awesome, she has agreed to review the following ten summer movies, which speaks to her impeccable character and dedication.
Here are the films, in order of release date:
MAY 14
MAY 27
(Is it just me, or does this movie look absolutely terrifying? Has Carrie Bradshaw become some kind of futuristic fem-bot programmed to do nothing but shop and eat at expensive restaurants?)
JUNE 4
JUNE 11
JULY 23
JULY 30
AUGUST 6
AUGUST 13
AUGUST 20

By my count I am doing five of them. And stop slagging Step Up 3D! It's going to be AWESOME.

"Reasons why"? Really, Rene. Really.

I think I would rather be on fire than see any of those except maybe the Jackie Chan one....maybe it will be a remake of "The Armour of God" and not the Karate Kid...

Connie, you know you want company for Eat Pray Love!
Posted by: Hannah | May 06, 2010 at 01:08 PM
Hannah, I will happily bring you to EPL (Javier Bardem!!! Ryan Murphy!!!)
Rene also lies, he WANTS to see The Karate Kid. And Patrick, don't act like you're not going to take Boyd to see Piranha 3D!

"[She is] so awesome, she has agreed to review the following ten summer movies, which speaks to her impeccable character and dedication."
So much for that.
By the way, I got an idea for a movie. Let's put little cameras in the studio offices and record all the meetings and discussions about their ideas for a movie. Should be funny, excruciating, and illuminating all at once. I consider the fact that no one bothered to record the meeting for Cats & Dogs a missed opportunity.
Head of Marketing: "What should be the tag line for this vomit-inducing poster?"
[Executives looking at each other frantically]
"Umm" "Ehh" "Uhh, how about-- no." "Uhhhh..." "Ow, brain hurting, can't focus" One of them whips out a sword and is about to perform Hara Kiri. Then an executive with Tom on his name tag says, "Wait, I got it! They're just like spies...only...um...only...furrier! That's it! They're just like spies dot-dot-dot only furrier!" "That's great Tom, here's your promotion." The other executive then digs the sword into his gut.

I didnt even know they were making a movie of Marmaduke.
Posted by: Juan | May 06, 2010 at 11:43 PM
"Marmaduke". We have officially hit rock bottom. That is, until we get "Spring Awakening" with Hannah Montana as Wendla, the eldest Jonas brother as Melchior, and Justin Bieber as Moritz. Oh, and then we can have Hannah Montana and Taylor Swift as Glenda and Elphaba, respecitvely, in the film adaptation of "Wicked"! Oh, I can't wait!
Where have you gone, John Cassavetes? A film-hungry nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
