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.
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!
Sharon recently posted…Free Pictures of Playgrounds
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!
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.

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. 🙂
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!

And he had a Rum Diaries movie, too…so perhaps he can get that rum bottle there. 😉
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 McAlexander says
Was The Hangover III good? I hope to see that one very soon. 🙂

A lot of great movies coming out this summer. Thanks for highlighting some of the best.

JADE OF Diva Fabulosa says
I’ll wait till theya re out on DVD LOL. It’s difficult to go out when you have a small baby.
JADE OF Diva Fabulosa recently posted…Hollywood beauty giveaway!
Dawn says
You are right about that. When my daughter was small she loved watching movies at home though. 🙂
Dawn recently posted…I Want To Go To There: Cruzan Rum And The Island Of Don’t Hurry @CruzanRum
Bre Dale says
Definitely want to see the Hangover!
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!

I can’t wait to see The Hangover 3 …maybe this weekend!
Andrew recently posted…Graphic Springs Free Logo Maker
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!
Rachel Hull says
LOVE! Can’t wait to see so many of these. The new Despicable Me and the The Heat Trailer especially!
Rachel Hull recently posted…Dishcrawl Downtown Ann Arbor: Part Deux
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. 😉
Cecile says
Just saw After Earth and I must say it was better than I expected. A real adventure. Not for young kids though.
Cecile recently posted…Choosing a Graduation Gift for My Daughter – Isabelle Grace Jewelry
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!” 🙂
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
I might see that Morgan Freeman one tomorrow, but I know I’m not going to see that Will Smith one.
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell recently posted…That’s What Memorial Day Weekend Was Made Of #99SummerDays #HebrewNational
Dawn McAlexander says
The Will Smith one is getting a lot of bad reviews. We will see how it goes for that one.
Emily @FamilyNLifeLV says

I like going to the movies, but with a 3 year old I don’t get out to adult ones too often 🙂 That’s okay thought there is always DVD!

I really hope I can see a movie this summer. I can’t tell you the last time I’ve been to one.
