    • Dawn McAlexander says

      I think we are going to go see Fast & Furious 6 tonight {except for Tokyo Drift}. I have seen all of the other ones and loved them.

  2. Sharon says

    We’re the one family in the world who sees the movies after they get to dvd or netflix. We just rarely go to the theater. Can’t wait to see some of these movies though!

  3. Julia Potvin says

    Not a fan of going to the movies, have to say same as Sharon at my house we wait to see them on dvd. But thanks for the sneak peek of whats to come 🙂

    • Dawn McAlexander says

      I don’t like going to the movies when it’s overly crowded. But I love going for matinees and during the week when there are less people. 😀 There is nothing like seeing a movie on the big screen. I just don’t want to see it with a lot of texting and Chatty Cathys around me, lol!

  4. Dede says

    I didn’t know that there is a Despicable Me 2 coming out! Great post, I’m bookmarking so I can find this list again.

  6. Laura says

    Wow..there are a bunch I have not heard of. I need to watch the trailers.

    For sure…Despicable Me 2, Monster University, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, Turbo, The Conjuring, and World War Z

  8. Jennifer Williams says

    We are heading out for the Summer Movies that they do for $1 to see if my youngest can handle the theaters yet, then we will go see Dispicable Me 2. What a long list!

    • Dawn McAlexander says

      Our theater has cheap summer movies during the weekdays, too. I hope to catch some of those, too. I just need to find out what is playing. 🙂

  9. Isabella Grey says

    I have been SO excited for This is the End and World War Z. Like, I might even actually attempt going to the theater to see them excited…that’s rare for me!

  10. Kimberly D says

    The Lone Ranger please 😉 I’ve been joking that Johnny Depp’s Tonto is one rum bottle away from turning into Captain Jack Sparrow!! lol

    • Dawn McAlexander says

      And he had a Rum Diaries movie, too…so perhaps he can get that rum bottle there. 😉

  11. Jenna Wood says

    We saw Hangover III for ‘date night’ this week- In it there was a preview for the Purge, which has a young actor from the TV show Parenthood in it. Consider my intrigued by the concept and cast.

    • Dawn says

      You are right about that. When my daughter was small she loved watching movies at home though. 🙂

  20. Jodi @ A Mom Having Fun says

    There are so many great movies coming out! I am so behind on seeing all the great movies. Having 3 young kids and a husband with a crazy work schedule makes it a wee difficult! Can’t wait for these to come out on DVD & Netflix. 🙂 We may go see a couple for date night too!

    • Dawn McAlexander says

      I am torn between seeing that and Fast 6…I hope to see {at least} one of them this weekend!

      • Andrew says

        My friend just came back from seeing Fast 6 and said it was the best action film so far this year.. He was impressed – and he usually..USUALLY has a good eye for movies! I was going to wait until Fast 6 came out on DVD but I may have to go now… ya’ll are getting me hyped up! 🙂

        • Dawn McAlexander says

          If you do go see it, please please please let us know if it’s any good! I am going to try my best to get to the movies to see something this weekend…but I am canning, so, we will see how that goes, lol!

    • Dawn McAlexander says

      The Heat! Those two look funny together!

      You know, one that I am excited about that I don’t think anyone has mentioned is “The Bling Ring.” I can’t believe teens had the nerve to break in all those houses. I would have had a panic attack and fled the scene like a baby and snitched everyone out for sure. 😉

  25. Cecile says

    Just saw After Earth and I must say it was better than I expected. A real adventure. Not for young kids though.

    • Dawn McAlexander says

      I am glad you said that. I was seeing how critics are mostly giving it horrible reviews online and I was like “Come on! Someone has to like it!” 🙂

    • Dawn McAlexander says

      The Will Smith one is getting a lot of bad reviews. We will see how it goes for that one.

    • Dawn McAlexander says

      There are a lot of good ones coming out, so you should definitely be able to find something you like. 🙂 Hope you get to go see at least one.

  34. Tazim says

    so many good looking movies coming out !
    I don’t know which one I am most looking forward to – there are a lot I’d like to watch in theatres or on DVD later.

    • Dawn McAlexander says

      My daughter saw World War Z and says it is really good! I want to see it now, too, even more so since she said that. 🙂
