My Summer '09 Movie Shopping List!

Check out EW's summer release schedule. It really assists one's sanity in a very nice OCD way. This is all the stuff I'm setting out to view in the coming months. I am more than certain that even more movies will come out as I go along that I'll want to and will watch, but as of yet I'm quite eager for these:

Every Little Step - a documentary about the auditions for the revival of A Chorus Line.

Tetro - Coppola's return.

Angels & Demons - Ewan McGregor plays a priest and there are popes being murdered! I will most certainly be rolling in the aisles! Ron Howard's comedies never fail to deliver.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (I will have a marathon to lead up to this.)

(500) Days of Summer - a sappy romantic comedy that possibly also has a brain. Still a bit hesitant on this one, though.

Paper Heart - ummm a semi-documentary about Michael Cera's love life co-written by his lover. It initially started as her documentary about how she doesn't believe in love. Need I say more? It will probably better than (500) Days.

Away We Go - Perhaps Sam Mendes can make a movie that I actually enjoy watching. I don't know why but even if it doesn't involve Maya Rudolph, I can't look away from anything he does, but as much as I think it may end up being great (in an About Schmidt way), I will probably be dissappointed.

Star Trek - it seriously looks mind-blowing, admit it.

Public Enemies - Michael Mann is an amazing filmmaker so I am certain this will be decent.

Bruno - just go YouTube this man.

Year One - in the tradition of the Life of Brian, an Ivan Reitman period peice set in YEAR ONE. Michael Cera and Jack Black are perfect foils. I think this will work in many ways.

Whatever Works - Woody + Larry David = DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE

Julie and Julia - Meryl is Julia Child. Plus Ted from Six Feet Under is in it.

Ponyo - another animated dream-land wonderous tale by Hayao Miyazaki. This man is a legend folks. Watch all his movies.

Taking Woodstock - another gay-themed epic by the maestro Ang Lee about the organizer of Woodstock. This features Emile Hirsch and Paul Dano in the 60s! As well as Leiv Schrieber as a trannie!! WATCH THIS TRAILER, IT'S PROBABLY AT THE TOP OF MY LIST.


Inglorious Basterds - Ummmmm, Quentin directs the Office's BJ "Ryan is like a son to me" Novak and Brad Pitt in his long-time in the making WWII epic. Based on the trailer I'm sensing Paths of Glory meets Dr. Strangelove homages.
