Summer movies!

So what do you do, when you are at your parents, even if it is only for a night, you are in the middle of your finals, and there is no job prospect in sight for the summer? Well you feel like a kid again, and plan what summer movies you want to see, lol!

Here are my picks:

April 22
Water for Elephants
Rachel is a talented attorney at a top New York law firm, a generous and loyal friend and, unhappily, still single as her engaged best friend Darcy is constantly reminding her. But after one drink too many at her 30th birthday party, perpetual good girl Rachel unexpectedly ends up in bed with the guy she's had a crush on since law school, Dex, who just happens to be Darcy's fiance. When Rachel and Darcy's lifelong friendship collides with true love, it leads to unexpected complications and potentially explosive romantic revelations. Meanwhile, Ethan, who has been Rachel's constant confidante and sometimes conscience, has been harboring a secret of his own, and Marcus, an irrepressible womanizer, can't keep his mind out of the gutter or his hands off any girl within reach.

Bridesmaids

The movie that should finally answer the question: Is there more to “SNL’s’’ Kristen Wiig than Gilly, Dooneese, and that woman who touches her hair a lot? Advance buzz on this raunchy Judd Apatow-produced comedy about a lonely maid of honor (Wiig) coming to terms with the wedding of her friend (Maya Rudolph) is that the queen of late-night schtick goes boldly into Meg Ryan territory and comes out twisted and triumphant. The late Jill Clayburgh has her final role, as Wiig’s mom.


July 1
Larry Crowne

Tom Hanks gets downsized, his house is underwater, he can't figure out what to do with himself. So he goes back to school and falls for his public-speaking teacher, played by Julia Roberts. Hanks also co-wrote and directed. So the economic-troubles bit might have been a stretch for him.


July 29
Crazy, Stupid, Love

Steve Carell's marriage goes sour; ladies' man Ryan Gosling is there to help, after a fashion. Also starring Emma Stone, Marisa Tomei, Julianne Moore. What? Was Kevin Bacon busy? Oh, guess not. He's here, too.


August 12
The Help

Emma Stone, Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer star in the movie version of Kathryn Stockett's popular novel. Tate Taylor, who also wrote the screenplay, directs.


August 19
One Day

David Nichols’s sleeper bestseller is now a movie about the on-again off-again relationship between two former classmates, played by Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess.


August 31
The Debt

Helen Mirren, Sam Worthington and Tom Wilkinson star in this oft-delayed story of Mossad agents trying to find and kill a Nazi war criminal.


I shall review them here as soon as I see them; should be an interesting summer viewing, lol.
