What summer movies are you excited about - besides Harry Potter, of course. clonecone and I have made a list of all the movies we want to see. So far we've gone to see Star Trek, Terminator Salvation, Up! (in 3D), and I went to see Angels & Demons while clonecone went to see Drag Me To Hell.
There are some good ones we still want to see, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and as I said before, obviously we're excited about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Lots of good movies this summer. What do you want to see?
