5 Off The Top Of My Head - Spring Flicks

So Summer Movie Season officially begins with Iron Man on May 2nd, right? That gives us 6 weeks until The Big Movies Of 2008 come rumbling forth and crush our hopes under the massive weight of their overpriced, underdeveloped spectacle. A load of the movies I'm most looking forward to - yes, even beneath that previous explicated bit of cynicism - will be coming out over those warm months (The Dark Knight, Speed Racer, so on, so forth; for the record I'll probably see Iron Man but I'm not feeling all psycho over it), and I'll surely continue posting on them a'plenty, but until then there are a few movies hitting screens that deserve some attention as well. Spring movies! Bunnies and flowers and movies, oh my!

A couple of these I have posted bunches and bunches on already, a couple I haven't, but let's give a look see at 5 movies coming out B.I.M. (before Iron Man) that I'm most moist over. I'm not counting this upcoming weekend (including Stop-Loss and Run Fatboy Run) because it's two days away and really.


The Ruins - opens April 4th

I haven't shut my yap over this one since it was first announced. Click here to see everything I've gone on and on and on about regarding the film already. I would sell my boyfriend into slavery, buy him for pennies on the dollar, and then resell him again, all for the chance to see this movie now (sorry my love, but you must understand!)


Forgetting Sarah Marshall - opens April 18th

Again, I've been following this one for awhile, since Kristen Bell first popped up in pap pics in a pink bikini (say that five times fast). The trailers are making me laugh every time, and I'm digging the viral ad campaign... almost as much as the hippie hug-a-tree anti-ad campaign that's popped up in San Francisco.


Baby Mama - opens April 25th

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Yes please. At least, until I can feast my eyes on Spring Breakdown (for god's sake, release this movie!), BM gotta do. I was more excited about the movie before I saw the trailer; I really wish Poehler's character seemed trashier a la her Amber character ("Yeah, I farted. Jealous?") on SNL.


Deception - opens April 25th

Shitty title. Really shitty poster. Meh trailer. Why do I want to see this? Uh... duh.



They had me at Neil Patrick Harris riding a unicorn. Seriously - whoever designed that poster deserves a massive raise. That poster is worth my twelve bucks. I'm only a mild fan of the first film, but that poster sold me.

What movies are y'all most looking forward to
over the next six weeks?
