Simply Life

Normally I do not run right out to the movie theater when I hear about a movie. I can't even really think about a time when I saw a movie on opening weekend. At least, on purpose.
However, lately I have become aware of a few movies that sound intruiging to me.
So, I shall list them here linked to their official website, just in case you want to find out more info.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
This movie is not exactly a remake of the previous film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. From what I have heard, it more closely resembles the book. I love this story. Always have. It's so imaginative, and I wanted to be one of the children picked. Of course, that was before I understood that books were not exactly the "real world". Still, I am wondering if this movie will be wonderfully inventive in it's adaptation, or if it would be better left on the cutting room floor. It is directed by Tim Burton whom I don't particularly care for. Oh well, we shall wait and see. The movie comes out July 15th.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith
I have always enjoyed watching both of the main actors in this film. Angelina Jolie, and Brad Pitt. I am not swayed by the incessant rumors about their "relationship". I would not pay money out of curiousity. Ok. Not out of curiousity about their so called "love life". I am, however, curious about the movie. I saw interviews and a scene from the movie today. They were dancing and doing a very interesting frisk. It is about a "boring" married couple who find out that the other spouse is an infamous assassin. Hmm..
This movie comes out June 10th.

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
I have heard the book of the same name by Ann Brashares is wonderful. I am behind in my reading however, and can not attest to this personally. It has two of my favorite young tv actresses; Amber Tamblyn, and Alexis Bledel. It is about four best girlfriends who hatch a plan to stay connected with one another as their lives start off in different directions: they pass around a pair of secondhand jeans that fits each of their bodies perfectly.
This movie came out June 1st.

Herbie: Fully Loaded
While I may not particularly care for Lindsay Lohans singing career (she does sing well people), I cannot argue the fact that she is a wonderful actress. She started when she was just a child. Her first role being the remake of The Parent Trap.
Maggie Peyton (Lohan), the new owner of Number 53 - the free-wheelin' Volkswagen bug with a mind of its own - puts the car through its paces on the road to becoming a NASCAR competitor. We all (should) know Herbie the "love bug". He has been in multiple movies.
This movie comes out June 22nd.

So, now, what movies are you looking forward to??
