Preview of Coming Attractions

May is inching ever closer, which means one thing: the start of the summer blockbuster season. Here are my top three most anticipated "blockbusters" of 2008:

3. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Release Date: May 22nd
View the trailer

The Skinny: Harrison Ford might be 65 years old, but the thought of seeing him suit up in the leather jacket and fedora one last time as the Raiders March blazes still gets the blood pumping. I have high hopes that Spielberg and Lucas have somehow managed to channel their 1981 selves.





2. The Dark Knight
Release Date: July 18th
View the trailer

The Skinny: I can't wait to see how Christian Bale and co. raise the stakes after Batman Begins, which was unquestionably the best Batman to date. And I have heard nothing but good things about Heath Ledger's take on the Joker, which unfortunately turned out to be his final performance.





1. Title Yet To Be Announced
Release Date: May 14th (Estimated)
Trailer currently unavailable

The Skinny: Ok, maybe "the skinny" isn't the most appropriate term for this one, as Kristen would attest. But this is definitely the most anticipated "event" of the summer for us, and I have a feeling it might be cutting into the previous two movies' repeat business potential.

I asked Ashlee if she wanted to go to Jacob's house on Saturday for Kristen's baby shower and she got all excited and said "Do we get to see the new baby?" Not quite but only a couple more months! :)

The big question is, if the Title Yet To Be Announced is a success, with there be sequels? How many have the cast signed on for? ;)

According to my count, we've only got 66 more days (to the due date, that is). And I imagine there might be a sequel or two eventually... but we'll want to build up plenty of suspense first.

Every time I talk to Josh about your baby coming he says "Dave and Kristen are going to have TWO babies!" So there could be a surprise finish to this one...

Dave said...

A shocking twist indeed.

The up-side to getting TWO babies is that I would sure lose these 12 extra pounds fast!
