SUMMER 2007 LINE-UP!!!

When 12:01 AM hits next Friday, SUMMER 2007 will officially begin, and what a summer to behold!!! Last year was full of box-office blunders (Poseidon), critical disappointments (The Da Vinci Code, X-Men 3, Fantastic Four), and plenty of folks just wondering what had happened to the real SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER. X-Men 3, Da Vinci Code, and Pirates 2 all carried away huge box-office receipts, but none completely captured the hearts of both critics and movie-goers as in past years, accept for maybe Cars, but even its reception was not as warm as past Pixar films. So what will happen when three of the highest grossing film franchises of all time (Spider-Man, Shrek, Pirates) bring out their third installments within the same month? Expect one of the biggest box-office battles in history, and don't forget that there are plenty of other films just waiting to take their share of the box-office booty that awaits. Some are already hedging their bets for this to be the most successful summer at the movies in history, and here are the films that have the potential to make it happen:

MAY 4 - SPIDER MAN 4

MAY 18 - SHREK 3

MAY 25 - PIRATES 3

JUNE 15 - RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER

JUNE 22 - EVAN ALMIGHTY

JUNE 27 - LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD

JUNE 29 - RATATOUILLE

JULY 4 - TRANSFORMERS

JULY 13 - HARRY POTTER 5

JULY 27 - THE SIMPSONS

AUGUST 3 - THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM

AUGUST 10 - RUSH HOUR 3

Hopefully this will be a summer to remember, hopefully. Will Transformer's totally stink, will Pirates take box-office glory for a second year in a row, and will Evan Almighty, the MOST EXPENSIVE COMEDY EVER MADE, drown? Only time and box-office #'s will tell!!!
