June 27- Movies

I saw Taking of Pelham 123 this evening, and I must say I thought it was REALLY enjoyable! I like John Travolta in villainous roles, and Denzel's always a treat to watch. Now that I've seen it, here's a list of ten movies I am going to make an effort to see this summer:

1) Star Trek- It's almost at the discount theater. Sweet. I've heard nothing but good things about it, so I will be sure to hop on that when the time comes.

2) Wolverine- Hopefully someone gets the DVD? I've heard mixed reviews and so I will certainly not be getting it myself...I mean, I didn't like X-men THAT much to begin with, but Hugh Jackman turns up the badassometer in this role, so I will try to check it out.

3) The Hangover- Since everyone in town saw this the weekend I was in the city, I suppose I will have to wait until I can convince some staff members at my summer job to go check it out...

4) Tropic Thunder- Yeah, it's outdated. But still...I haven't heard of anyone who hasn't thought this movie was uproariously funny. Bring it on!

5) Public Enemies- Johnny Depp is spectacular. That is all.

6) Count of Monte Cristo- I read the book in the summer of 2007 and yet have still not watched the movie even though the only reason I never watche the movie was because I told myself that I'd read the book first! Suffice it to say it will probably feel as though I never read it in the first place. I'm okay with this.

7) Citizen Kane- To see what all the fuss is about.

8) Platoon and Stripes- I bought both of these at the mall for $5 a pop (thanks, Target!), and so it's only a matter of time before I pop them in and get a good look at a couple of highly-regarded war films.

9) Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince- This belongs at the top of the list, it just completely slipped my mind. VERY eager for this one.

10) Pride of the Yankees/61*/Mr. Baseball- Because I enjoy movies and baseball and these are three of the best-known baseball movies that I've never seen....sounds simple enough, eh?

Anyone care to lend any of these?
