Ultimate Summer '08 Movie Guide

Posted by Alex in Movies & SciFi on April 28, 2008 at 12:49 am


This summer, over 50 movies are slated to be released – and keeping track of them all is a big chore. Fortunately, the good folks at Always Watching have put out a guide on which movies to watch and which to skip.

I’m looking forward to this one (oh, do I love silly comedy) : Tropic Thunder, Directed by Ben Stiller, Starring: Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey, Jr.

Synopsis: A group of actors shooting a big-budget war movie are captured by enemy forces and find themselves needing to become the soldiers they’re portraying.

What to Expect: Robert Downey Jr. as a black man. That alone has guaranteed my ticket bought. The fact that the rest of the film looks great as well is just a bonus. It really seems like they’ve worked out the perfect combination of action, comedy, parody, and shit blowing up. And I gotta admit, it’s nice to see Ben Stiller taking another temporary break from playing the whiny, awkward dork we always see him as.

And why, here’s the trailer, of course:

    I wanna know how they explain why Downey's character stays in character and how his makeup does as well after they're taken.

    Looks like an awesome movie. Who said they could never make Blazing Saddles today?

    They filmed this on my island (Kauai). It was so trippy seeing all their personal trailers! My friend actually got to go to the wrap party. So jealous.

    There are so many great movies I want to see this summer, I don't see how I'm going to have time to do anything else.

    @ Parker: In the trailer it says he underwent a controversial procedure... I'd guess the type of actor that would do that would be method, living as the character until the movie is finished shooting.

    Why is there five minutes of black space after the trailer is over?
