I'm stunned the Playlist included What to Expect Before You're Expecting and Step Up 2309483294 and not Savages. So much judgement going on right now.

The Playlist, good to know you have your very own "A" for Asskisser.

No SAVAGES? Would've though Playlist would all be over a hard R Oliver Stone thriller.

Of all of these here, I'm really only excited for Prometheus, but the more trailers I watch the more it looks like a recycling of Alien, which worries me. I was excited for Brave when the much darker, earlier teaser trailer came out – but then they hit me with the more goofy, kid-friendly trailer – I lost most of my excitement (though I should have expected it).

Most sad about this list isn't just that a lot of these movies don't look that great, but that some of our greatest talents waste their time on this stuff. Charlize Theron is an incredibly talented actresses. We don't need that talented being put in roles where any decent actress could fill, as in Prometheus or Snow White. Same goes for Lee Jones and Streep in the generic-looking Hope Springs. Renner and (especially) Johansson in The Avengers is a waste of talent. I could go on. I think it's pretty sad how our greatest talents waste their time on this stuff, but it has seemed pretty common for awhile (hey, just look at all the crap De Niro chooses to appear in). I'm reminded of the story when Steven Spielberg offered Juliette Binoche a role in Jurassic Park, and instead she turned him down to appear in Kieslowski's incredible Three Colors: Blue. I feel like a talented American actress would have never made that type of decision.

Still dissing anything relating to Colin Farrell, I see. Total Recall got rave reviews at the CinemaCon, but you will die before you give it an inch of good publicity. Last time I ever read this website. Enough is enough.

Nice list, i don't expect every single one of them to be a great movie (even thou i doubt that anyone of these beside THE AVENGERS – that have already taken some pretty good reviews, THE DARK KNIGHT RISIS, PROMETHEUS AND BOURNE LEGACY will be anything near "Great"), but at least i hope they will entertain us, and also there's a bit of issue about TOTAL RECALL – I read somewhere that it got some interesting comparison at CINEMACON – It was compared with BLADE RUNNER !!!! wtf 🙂

Battleship was a lot of fun. Then again I'm not a pessimistic asshole hipster who writes for The Playlist.

I can do without Dark Shadows and Neighborhood Watch but you had to have 10 didn't you. The other 8 though make this summer seem like the most promising one in a very long time.
