My pick for top summer movies of 2010?

The usual suspects:


Iron Man 2
Shrek Forever After
Toy Story 3
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Step Up 3-D

The Unknown factors:

MacGruber
(despite this week's past reciepts any one remember "Scream" or "Cabin Fever")

The Other Guys
(The Rock, Will Ferrell, Wahlberg and L. Jackson... if this goes wrong, kiss Ferrell good bye)
Jonah Hex
(I'm pulling for you Megan)
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

The Karate Kid
(I'll pass on this but others won't. And riddle me this... Why does Jackie Chan state in the film's trailer "I will teach you real KUNG FU"
and the title is "THE KARATE KID". I wonder if that line will get cut out of the film...

The A-Team
(oddly, I'm excited for this one)
Knight and Day
(I'm looking forward to "The Cruise" comeback)
Salt
(Action-lina Joile, who could pass on this one)
Ramona and Beezus
(strictly for the kids with crushes on Go-Go and little ladies I feel will like it as well)
Inception
(I know nothing about this film other than the fact it'c Nolan and I believe is the reason many will still flock to see it because of his last film> And if it's good....)

The Killer INSIDE OF ME
(This is my sleeper pick for the summer as far interesting narrative and characters)...
This year's "Hurt Locker"

I think as right now, "Inception" is probably the best movie of the year. Excellent film by Christopher Nolan. I liked his work ever since "Following". He has a flair for detail in his work as seen in "Memento" which was very clever in the way it was shown. After watching "Inception" there will be some comparisons with "The Matrix" but this should make Hollywood abort the lame trend of remaking films to be box office hits.

I did not see it as of yet. And it seems like some of my pick fell short. As long as remakes continue to bring in the fast money, Hollywood will always take advantage of remakes. For Christ's sake they're already remaking that "Tatto" film and it just came out months ago...
