2005 Summer Movie Season

Do the movies this summer suck or what? Where is a Spiderman, Harry Potter, or Pirates of the Caribbean? Everybody's already seen Star Wars. Batman Begins is not doing it for me. Ioan Gruffudd is hot, but not enough to get me in to see Fantastic Four. I considered the chick-flick Must Love Dogs, but it seems like something I'd rather see on cable. March of the Penguins has been a surprise hit, but I think I would rather rent it. I do want to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but I want to take the kids to that one. I think is saw the original War of the Worlds and the story's been told in dozens of incarnations. I liked it better when it was called Independence Day anyway. How can Hollywood survive when everyone evaluates the theater-worthiness of each film? "Should I wait and catch it on the cable I'm already paying for, rent it and make an evening of it, or go for the full movie experience, complete with hot buttered popcorn and those little mini-Butterfingers I love? Guess I'll just have to wait for the Christmas season for Narnia and the next Harry Potter. They sell those little Butterfingers at Blockbuster now anyways.
