For me, Spiderman 2 was the best film so far this year, with LOTR RTOK second. Shrek 2 was Good, but not as good as the first one. I also liked Farenheit 9/11.

Actually, I disagree with rodney (what a surprise...... )

I thought I, Robot was probably the best movie I have seen in years.

Van Helsing I though was good too.

Spiderman 2 I though was better than the first one.

The Village really surpised me since I expected something in the range of Signs (and I really didnt like signs...). The Village is definitely worth seeing if you liked 6th sense.

I was a bit disappointed with Troy but it was still way way better than Arthur, that movie was a big disappointment.

Have you noticed that movies with medieval or old roman settings are really popular now? There's another one coming out in november about Alexander the Great. I wouldn't be surprised if Homers Odyssey was to made into a movie also.
Not that I mind, I like those kind of movies  
And its a good way to introduce young people to ancient history.

I guess these kind of movies are popular right now because people are fed up with reality with its wars and terror attacks, I dunno....

That's Hollywood reacting to the success of the Lord of the Rings franchise. They have to cash in while this genre is hot.

So true, but I still like it because I was never a huge fan of action/thriller movies (except I, Robot)  

Did ya all know Viggo Mortensen is Danish??      

what, no mention of starksy and hutch?,the new spidey looks pretty good as does the village, hard to find suspencefull movies.Also Boune S. looks cool and the alien predator thing should be sweet.And I robot should be a blast to watch as well.Oh ya also want to see Fareinheight, cant miss a good documertery
hmm, seems to be a trend with summer movies here, no more Amiles thats for sure.

I watch a lot of DVDs and don't go to theater much, so I'll be watching this summer's movies probably in a year or so.  While in Vancouver I did catch 9/11, and that was a nice experience, but it was mostly because of sitting in a full theatre with people who were intensely interested.  Michael Moore was pretty much preaching to the choir with me, so I liked the movie, but I doubt that it will have much legs other than as a documentary that influenced an election at a very important moment in my country's history.  At least I hope it influences this election.

My most enjoyable night out this summer (sorta related, huh?) was also in Vancouver, and it was live music:  Fourth of July Toilet's Rock Fantasy was an absolute blast, and the group of four pre-teens that led off for them, The Penguins, also blew me away.
