> It's that time of year again! The summer movie season is upon us fast.

Not to mention furious.

> May 19 - See No Evil
>
> Here's another brilliantly original premise. Some people go to a secluded hotel, only to discover a psychopathic killer is on the loose. Man, where do they come UP with these?

Hey, maybe they'll be totally original and have a woman killed in a shower!

> May 31 - Blood Car
>
> The IMDb plot outline: "In the near future, gas prices are at an astronomical high. One man is determined to find an alternate fuel source. That alternate fuel source turns out to be blood...HUMAN BLOOD."

I assume it has a Hemo engine.

> June 30 - Click
>
> Adam Sandler discovers a remote control that controls the world. It's kind of like his turn at something like Bruce Almighty.

I'm seriously reminded of a Garfield & Friends episode. (For those of you playing at home, that's Vol. 3, Disc 2, Episode 63, "Remote Possibilities".

> July 14 - Pulse
>
> Speaking of the Japanese horror renaissance, here's another remake of one of them, specifically "Kairo," in which a series of suicides is traced to an internet webcam that claims to have some kind of connection with the dead.

If I want internet horror, I'll go look at the Time Cube site again. ;-)

> July 21 - My Super Ex-Girlfriend
>
> You've probably already forgotten I mentioned "The Break-Up" several paragraphs back, that's how forgettable it's liable to be. But what if one of the people involved in a bitter break-up is A SUPER HERO? Ok, now you've got something.

Too bad Thermoman's taken.

> August 4 - The Ant Bully
>
> Here's the IMDb summary of this CG-animated film: "Slapstick hilarity with a fun cast of funny talking animals!" No, I'm just kidding. Here's the real one: "After Lucas Nickle floods an ant colony with his watergun, he's magically shrunken down to insect size and sentenced to hard labor in the ruins."

Sounds like Willy the Sparrow (Vili, a veréb), after a fashion.

> August 9 - World Trade Center
>
> Oliver Stone's 9/11 movie is sure to be everything "United 93" apparently is not: manipulative, preachy, one-sided, melodramatic, and self-important. Stone is a gifted filmmaker, but you just can't trust what he applies those gifts to.

You know, we really need one or two more of these. Because we haven't had enough of them already.

> August 11 - Zoom
>
> A.k.a, "Sky High and The Incredibles made a lot of money, so here's more!" Tim Allen stars.

Let's see who else is in this... Chevey Chase (scientist), Courteney Cox (Marsha), Colin Mochrie (part unlisted), and Rip Torn (Larraby), as well as a bunch of people I don't recognize, but you (anyone reading this) might.

> August 18 - Clerks II
>
> After declaring "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" his last movie with those characters, here we are again. I guess the studios passed on "Jersey Girl Down Under."

It's hard to imagine a movie with a name like "Clerks" having a sequel, honestly.

> August 25 - Invincible
>
> Mark Wahlberg. Sports movie. All you need to know.

[American] Football? I'm more interested in seeing Invincible (2001). It's in the stack...
