What Movies Are You Most Excited About?

If you have been on IMDb recently, you will have seen some or all of the coming releases. After taking a look at all of the trailers for upcoming movies (it was a slow day, alright?) I was surprised about the movies that I am most excited about this summer.

If you have seen Taken, then you should not be surprised that I am super excited about Taken 2. I don't know how Liam Neeson went from being Kinsey to being the go-to-guy for middle-aged action movies, but somehow he did. I think that Taken 2 is a winner.

I barely remember the Arnold Schwarzenegger Total Recall (vague recollections of the Terminator's face exploding) but I am really excited about the new version with Colin Farrell. As long as it is not another Alexander, I would watch Colin Farrell any day of the week.

It was a hard decision to pick a final movie, but in the end I had to go with the Expendables 2. I am a sucker for sequels and remakes, what can I say? I did not love the Expendables, but the trailer for the second movie looks awesome. Plus, Schwarzenegger is in it, PLUS, Gale from the Hunger Games. Thank. You. Hollywood.

My list of notable runner-ups: Looper (anything with Joseph Gordon-Levitt is worth the price of admission), Savages (a love triangle with two willing guys... Interesting), and The Dark Knight Rises. To be honest, I hate this Batman. But I will am so so so excited for pretty much every other person in the movie. Christian Bale is a lame Batman, but I think that Tom Hardy will be great, and I can't wait for a new Catwoman. My only question: what the hell is the point of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character? I guess that I will have to go and find out!
