Let's look them over.
15 Must-See Summer Movies - Newsweek Entertainment - MSNBC.com
1. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl - Yes
2. The Da Vinci Code - Eh. Maybe. Didn't find the book interesting enough to finish it.
3. Superman Returns - Quite likely.
4. Little Miss Sunshine - Nope.
5. An Inconvenient Truth - No.
6. Talladega Nights - Unlikely.
7. Brothers of the Head - Don't think so.
8. The Devil Wears Prada - Um, no. Next?
9. Nacho Libre - Eh, maybe when Netflix gets it. If I remember.
10. Mission: Impossible III - $396 million? Must see? Don't think so.
11. Miami Vice - Retread. What's next? A movie version of St. Elsewhere?
12. The Science of Sleep - Actually sounds good - quite possible.
13. The Break-Up - Retread. No. How about some FRESH actors, eh?
14. Monster House - Maybe.
15. Click - A magical remote that lets you fast forward through life. Don't think so.
Guess I'm getting picky - good luck to the folks who are putting out these 'Must See' movies. Maybe they'll resonate better with other folks, but it's pretty bad when only 4 out of 15 have any sort of appeal. At least to me - your mileage may vary.

About the only thing I'm looking forward to is 'Over the Hedge' -- Wm. Shatner as a possum!
Lin thinks 'Lady in the Water' looks good.

James won two free movie tickets a few weeks ago and we still haven't figured out what we'd like to see with them. I bought a used copy of POTC and was underwhelmed; don't remember what James thought. Never cared much for pirates and I do not like Johnny Depp.
