The number of movies to be released by summers end is an astonishing figure. The one sure fire BLOCKBUSTER will be "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen", it is this years "Dark Knight". Thanks to a reportedly "leaked" copy, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" flopped right out the gate. Summer is still young and now that it's the first day of July I thought I would supply the avid movie fan a list of the remaining summer movies.
July brings dinosaurs and gangsters, gay fashion designers and a boy wizard. Will any of these knock off the rampage of Autobots and Decepticons? I think not. Anyway here is a list of the movies slated to come to a theatre near you this July.

Ice Age Dawn Of The dinosaurs

August brings superheros and aliens, love stories and horror, bastards and yet more 3D. This month will be the last gasp effort to try to knock Transformers from its 400 million dollar throne. Again I think not. Here is a list of the movies scheduled to make a run at your pocket books in August.
August 07th
G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra
Julie & Julia
Shorts
August 14th
Bandslam
District 9

The Final Destination 3D
Halloween II
Few movies will make the cut this summer, a few more will flop out the gate, several smaller market, so called independent films will surprise a lot of people, "(500) Days Of Summer" is a very good movie, but will be skipped by most everyone. Bruno and Harry will be the giant hits of July, while August has no front runner for the crown, G.I. Joe may be the run away in August.
Summer brings out the kid in everyone, that's what movies are supposed to do anyway, after the Autobots and Decepticons whats left standing? Maybe just a small handful of movies will be called hits. The shameful thing is that looking at this list I see several movies that will be great, several that will be good and many more that will just be fodder for movie goers. What ever movie you choose to see, I hope you enjoy it.
