I've been slacking on seeing movies lately, but it looks like this weekend I'll be able to catch one or two. I'm thinking mostly about seeing Clerks II or A Scanner Darkly, though I still haven't seen The Devil Wears Prada, so who knows? But has anyone else noticed the dearth of good summer movies this year? Other than Superman Returns there hasn't been anything I've really liked. X-men 3 was okaaaay, but Pirates of the Caribbean II was terrible.
This weekend also brings The Lady in the Water which looks like another big M. Night Shyamalan piece of crap. Since The Sixth Sense I haven't liked any of his movies. Signs had potential, but went no where. 15 mins into The Village my mother looked over and said, "Oh, they're not it the past. It's present day." And Rotten Tomatoes has an awful rating for the movie. Another new movie, My Super Ex-Girlfriend looks even worse. It hasn't even been shown to reviewers, though it opens this weekend. That, my friend, spells STINKER.

Sorry Graham. Pirates of the Caribbean II was terrible? Anything with Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp can't be that awful! -Marialaura
Pirates was good...Sleepman, I mean Superman was a snore fest.
Hopefully "Lady in the Water" will be M. Night's death knell for his "film" career. To quote a line from great article I saw online in reference to him and the poor people working for him - "I see dead careers".
