– Fast & Furious 6<\/i> – In case you never saw the first five. \u00a0If you have, the only difference in this one seems to be the presence of a tank.<\/p>\n

– The Hangover 3<\/i> – Um … probably not.<\/p>\n

– After Earth<\/i> – So there's some fun (if goofy) SF concepts here, but the whole Will\/Jayden Smith relationship seems to have next to zero chemistry.<\/p>\n

– The Wolverine<\/i> – Sorry, Batman is the only super-hero who gets a definite article in front of his name. Also, we've seen this plot before. That said, probably will end up seeing this.<\/p>\n

– Thor: The Dark World<\/i> – It's a "dark" summer, I guess. This looks moderately entertaining, but I hope the actual movie is more exciting than the trailer.<\/p>\n

– Lone Ranger<\/i> – Hasn't this come out yet? Huh. There's a ton of train-related stunt and CG work here. \u00a0There may also be hints of a story, but one couldn't really tell from the trailer.<\/div>\n
