I'm really looking forward to Splice. I always love a good sci-fi/horror film, and it appears that Splice is pretty good - maybe even great.
There's a promotional screening in Columbus tomorrow night, and I usually get an email from Gofobo about a day in advance if there are any spots left. I haven't received anything yet, but I've got my fingers crossed.

Yep, I'm seeing it tonight then Karate Kid tomorrow! Very excited for Splice. One of my writers hosted a Q and A with him in DC and said Natali was the coolest guy.

Splice, Cyrus, and Toy Story are definites.
Depending on reviews I'll probably see Knight and Day, and The Karate Kid.

Splice and TS3 will be day 1. I'll try to see some of the comedies when I can. Valhalla looks interesting, but I hope it's not too limited.
ITT: the new guy sets the ignorant masses free by opening our eyes to the light of truth.
Disappointed to hear someone thinks The Killer Inside Me was terrible, I was really looking forward to it. Also I'm still of the opinion that the "to see" list needs to be shortened to 1 or less than 1 movie per month.

I didn't post it in this thread since it came out last month, but it is expanding. The Secret In Their Eyes is the best film I've seen in theaters since No Country For Old Men, a complete masterpiece. Definitely check it out.

Splice and Valhalla Rising for me. Don't care much about the rest.
Eh, I don't get the hype for El Secreto de sus Ojos. It's wonderfully filmed and competently acted, but the story was relatively straight forward
and left a lot to be desired IMO. It was certainly a good film, I'd probably give it an 8 or 8.5 out of 10, but it didn't seem special enough to win an Academy Award...
You don't think the above picture looks like Bjork?

What more did you desire from it? The movie is definitely pretty absurd, but I thought the main relationship was handled perfectly and couldn't ask more from the suspense.

I think they made the best movie possible using the story they did, outside of the fact that they did a horrible job aging the actors/actresses 25 years, I found the film itself, post-script writing, to be relatively flawless. Sometimes a film can do everything right and not be a masterpiece, I personally consider that to be the case with this film. And like I said, I found the film to be quite good (8-8.5 out of 10 is definitely nothing to sneeze at), I'm just not sure that it was deserving of an Academy Award over The White Ribbon..

Nice, just wondering. I can see that. I was just so consumed by the film for entire nearly 2 and half hours. I couldn't have asked for more. It was one of those rare films where I wouldn't want to change anything about it.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
I'm intrigued by The Karate Kid now but the one thing I can't understand is why is it called The Karate Kid if he's learning Kung Fu?
Is there something I'm missing? I'm no expert in martial arts knowledge, but I guess they could have just reused the name for name recognition but I would hope the name would have more meaning than that (considering the movie is supposedly turning out good).
I also know I'm not the first one to bring this up, nor am I pretending to be. I just wasn't sure if there was an answer to it or if it was just simple name recognition.
Toy Story 3 is still the number one movie to see this month for me. If I only see one movie this month, it will be Toy Story 3. Next month is obviously Inception.

I think that's been explained at least 5 times between this thread and The Karate Kid thread.
I will definatly see A-Team. It's probably the movie I'm most interested in. I know I'll see Toy Story. (It does look good, but I'm not feeling the hype. But my wife really wants to see it, so yeah.) I'm going to see Jonah Hex at the matinee, but I don't have real high expectations. And this thread has made me thing Knight and Day might be a fun flick.
I was interested in Valhalla Rising until I read the thing about it being really slow. Not so much now.
I also want to see Iron Man 2 again and still need to catch Prince of Persia and Shrek.

As much as I love FSM, I'm on the fence about Get Him to the Greek. Russell Brand was funny in FSM because we got him in the right amount of doses, but I didn't think he was the funniest thing about that movie. Also: Ugh, Diddy.
Although Katy Perry is in it, probably as a cameo.
Regardless, Toy Story 3 all the way. I've had the tickets sitting in my HDD since March.
Doesn't Eclipse open this month? My friend and I were there for Twilight and New Moon opening weekend. I don't think that's changing. :lol
None of the movies coming out in June interest me enough to go see in the theater. Toy Story 3 would be the closest contender, but I think I've pretty much ruled out seeing any more children's films in the theater because of the amount of annoying kids there. Even if you go see a midnight showing, there will be damn kids in the theater talking, running up and down the aisles, crying, etc.
Might see Splice if I got nothing else going on. Or Knight and Day, depending upon reviews.

Knight and Day looks very fun and it was shot in my town. Cyrus seems interesting and I always had a strange feeling that The Karate Kid might end up being good but color me very interested after these early reviews. Also definitely seeing Get Him to the Greek.
I don't even have to mention Toy Story 3 seeing how if you don't see that, you have no heart.

The girl in me is the only thing on the Uk Odeon website on your list, fucking piece of crap Splice sounded pretty good among others. Infact not even Toy Story 3!!
Splice sounded pretty good among others. Infact not even Toy Story 3!!Winter's Bone was a really good film. I really enjoyed it and i found most of the actors incredibly convincing.
The Joan Rivers documentary is both sad and hilarious. I kept saying i was going to go see it because of a friend, but i ended up enjoying it immensely. I would definitely recommend it. I thought the crowd would be full of gay guys, but it was really people of all ages and they all seemed to really enjoy it.
Cyrus was on my list, but i pulled it, knowing i'd get the chance to see it again later.
My first 2 weeks of june are film festival films.

Just got back from Splice, I'm sorry I let you down GAF.
It wasn't good at all, unless it was supposed to be hilarious. The "shocking" moments were so laughable, everyone in my theater erupted. The acting was poor and the whole second half just felt off. The beginning is pretty good though and there are a few scenes that were quite well done, but I'm kind of shocked at the extremely great response.
I'd give it a 4 out of 10
