scrapbookbuzz Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Usually, around this time of year, we see LOTS of great movies (referred to as Summer Blockbusters) come out. What happened this year?? I see one or two but, right now, there just doesn't seem to be much in the offing. I really want to go see a movie tonight. Even have a free ticket but NOTHING looks good. Any suggestions? (No, I don't want to get a rental and stay home. I want to GO!:D ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendi Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I've heard a lot of good things about "Star Trek", although we're skipping it because of the sexy scenes (which is too bad, because I think ds would love the movie). We saw "Night at the Museum 2" last weekend. It has plenty of laughs, but, as with the first one, I left saying to myself, "They really could have done more with the premise." Still, lots of laughs, and the wonder of seeing things come to life. Hank Azaria is HILARIOUS as the evil pharaoh!! "Up" looks very good, but what I'm really looking forward to is "Land of the Lost" with Will Ferrell. Lots of people on here loved "Paul Blart: Mall Cop", which I think I'll see soon (it's in the cheap theatres now). Wendi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Dh and I are looking forward to Land of the Lost because we both watched the cheesy 70's t.v. show. We had to find the clip of the opening seen of the t.v. show on-line to show dds. They are excited to see the movie because it has Buddy the elf in it (Will Farrell). We are also looking forward to Up. We only see a few movies a year--if we find two summer flicks to look forward to, we're doing well!

Jorsay Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I just saw Night at the Museum and thought it was very funny. My 10 yo, 6 yo, and 16 yo all liked it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katemary63 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Both Star Trek and Terminator Salvation were OUTSTANDING! Loved them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Up is extremely good. Night at Museum not so good, but kids will enjoy it. We are waiting here for July 15th and Harry Potter!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frelle Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I enjoyed Star Trek, Terminator, and Wolverine. Want to see Night at the Smithsonian and Angels and Demons. Looking forward to Transformers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgilli3 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I took the kids( 11, 10, 2 ) to see Night at the Museum 2 this morning and all 3 loved it ( as did I) Hank Azaria was fantastic, and there was lots of smiles and laughs (oh, and a tantrum when it was time to leave, courtesy of the toddler) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Were there a lot of sex scenes in Star Trek? There was an almost sex-scene: it was dark and they were kissing, but stopped. They were in underwear. The kissing lasted all of 10 seconds before the lights came on. Someone kissed Spock a couple of times. With all their clothes on. No bedroom. That was it.

i.love.lucy Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Were there a lot of sex scenes in Star Trek? There was an almost sex-scene: it was dark and they were kissing, but stopped. They were in underwear. The kissing lasted all of 10 seconds before the lights came on. That's the only scene I wish they would have done without. It was very true to Kirk's character, but my 8yo looks at me and goes "what are they doing, wrestling?" Um, yeah.:001_huh::lol: We also didn't like the scary ice planet monsters, but again, true to the series. It wouldn't have been as good to make it G rated though, so we took our chances. I an dying to see it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiaNKids Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 We just saw Night at the Musuem 2 over the weekend and we all loved it! It looked like they had quite a few previews that looked good-Land of the Lost, Ice Age, Harry Potter, G Force (the guinea pig movie which my kids can't wait to see because we have guinea pigs), Aliens in the Attic (I thought previews looked so so on that one), Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. Not sure when these all come out. Tia Usually, around this time of year, we see LOTS of great movies (referred to as Summer Blockbusters) come out. What happened this year??

Stacia Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Loved "Star Trek". Also enjoyed "Angels and Demons" (liked it better than "The DaVinci Code"). Saw "Night at the Museum 2" w/ my ds. We both thought it was ok. The first one was much better & funnier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's because when I tried to go see it with my husband he hesitated...until I told him to go my himself! (I think he just needed "cave time.") Saw Night at the Museum. You're right on both counts. It WAS funny but they could have done SO much more with it! I have not interest in seeing "Up" or "Land of the Lost." Saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop and really didn't think it was funny at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Thank you, everyone, for your suggestions! As I read through all the responses just now I realized that, in the large scope, there are several "blockbuster-type" movies out already and on their way. However, this year, so many of them just don't appeal to me. I saw Wolverine and liked it. No, it's not an Academy Award winner (which I don't typically like, anyway) but for entertainment purposes, it was great! Others I've seen I posted above. The rest just do not appeal to me. So, I guess it's just me! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
