Transformers…I’m a dutiful child of the ’80′s, and having grown up watching Optimus Prime and pals, I’m excited for this sequel.  I thought the first one was big, dumb, loud…and also the most straight-up fun I had at the theater in 2007.  I think very few of the people in that movie could act, but most of us just went for the cars, the giant robots, and the explosions.

The only ones that jump out right now are <em>Up</em> and <em>Harry Potter</em>. If Star Trek gets good reviews, I'll have to take a look at one eventually -- although I have a whole family of Trekkies, so I probably see it one way or another. XMen and Transformers are on my "if it's cheap and friends really want to see it" list. XMen 3 was a lemon, and Transformers was fun, if just a little dumb and Megan Fox couldn't act her way out of a wet paper bag. I had to take a look to remember what’s coming out this summer.
