As the end of the semester approaches, visions of summer begin to surface. Time at the beach, time with family, time with friends, and, of course, time at the movie theater to see the newest and greatest blockbusters.
The summer has promised its usual bulk of hit movies, and you may need a guide to keep them all straight. In chronological order of release, here it is:
On May 5, Tom Cruise returns to the big screen yet again for Mission: Impossible III. Regardless of whether or not you think that this series should have ended with the first, Paramount Pictures has, in fact, released the third of its kind. It promises plenty of action for the guys and plenty of Tom Cruise for the girls. Enough said.
May 12 will see the release of the remake of The Poseidon Adventure, simply titled Poseidon. Kurt Russell, Richard Dreyfuss, and Emmy Rossum star in this action-packed, ship-sinking film.
Over the Hedge is the newest animated feature from Dreamworks, starring such voice talents as Steve Carell, Bruce Willis, Gary Shandling, and others. It is a story of furry woodland creatures venturing into the suburbs and the adventure (and comedy) that they find. It will be released on May 19.
Over the Hedge may have problems on opening night, however, seeing that it is competing with the much anticipated Da Vinci Code. The film, based on the enormously popular novel by Dan Brown with Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou, and Paul Bettany starring, is both puzzle and conspiracy, action and intellect. The millions who read the book now await the film, which will open on May 19.
It is a big summer for three-quels, and The X-Men are jumping right on board. X-Men: The Last Stand will open on May 26 , and will dispolay all of your favorite mutant superheroes and villains.
Walt Disney Pictures will release its newest animated feature on June 2 with Cars. This film about talking cars will include the voice talents of Bonnie Hunt, Paul Newman, Owen Wilson and others.
