That's it. The summer has peaked. Star Trek has come out, and Wolverine and the Terminator have made their appearances. That's it. There's nothing left to look forward to.

Okay, except maybe Harry Potter. But that's it. Harry Potter and Transformers. That's all, though. Just those two. Harry Potter, Transformers, and Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds.

Hmmm. Come to think of it, there is some good stuff still to come this summer.

Wait; where the hell is Will Smith?

The summer is kicking into high gear. The theaters are buttering up the popcorn something fierce and jacking up the air conditioning until icicles form on noses of moviegoers everywhere. The ice cream man is prowling … er … I mean, cavorting around neighborhoods everywhere, peddling his wares. Even President Obama is getting into the spirit of things by wearing pointy ears.

In June, you'll basically see coming to the local cineplex what amounts to huge amounts of tripe, sprinkled sparingly with quality. Don't hold your breath for an overabundance of outstanding entertainment on the big screen this month.

Sure, there are going to be a few gems. One will involve an amnesia-riddled trip to Vegas with Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms. Another will be about improvements to the New York subway system delivered by ransom. Oh, and that giant-robots-turning-into-cars movie I mentioned earlier will be out by the end of the month.

On the other hand, the new Ryan Reynolds/Sandra Bullock movie will be out. Yeah, I know. Life is most assuredly not fair.

July will be a bit better, right? You've got Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince coming out smack-dab in the middle of the month. That's exciting. Of course, everyone has already read not only the book that this film is based upon but also the book that comes after it, letting us all know what happens to Harry at the end of all things.

Can this film then keep the interest of all the multitudes of die-hard Potter maniacs? Will Hermione and Ron finally get it on? Will there be Quidditch? (For those of you who aren't up on Potter-speak, those last two questions may have sounded like they were talking about the same thing.)

If you see only one movie this year, it should be Star Trek. But I'm also looking forward to The Taking of Pelham 123. Tony Scott and Denzel Washington are known for their engaging collaborations. Remember Man on Fire? He killed everybody. (Even Jimmy Torres?) Everybody. (Even Jake the Wombat?) Everybody. (Even Peg-Leg Sue?) Everybody.

My, how time is flying. I haven't even gotten to complain about G.I. Joe's new reinterpretation. Well, that's not until August, so I have plenty of time to think of the perfect complaints about it. Maybe a few of them will be physical. Wooo!

Ow! Sorry, I just bumped my head jumping up in anticipation of the insults I'm going to hurl at Dennis Quaid for being in that movie. That'll learn him!

And then there's the very idea that Alyssa Milano is in something called Threesome, and my brain shutting down has nothing to do with blunt-force trauma. Now I'm too distracted, too flustered to think of a good way to end the article.
