Scott Pilgrim vs The Expendables: A Movie Review x2

Though I probably already mentioned this in my previous Summer Movie Rundown (or whatever the hell I called it back then), I keep hearing a lot of people saying how horrible this movie season is this Summer.  And I don't get it.  Case in point, I saw two, count 'em TWO, movies this weekend, whereas in previous years I wouldn't see two movies the entire Summer!  Hell, I could've made it three for the week if I had gone and seen The Other Guys with a few friends but that's one I don't mind waiting until video for.  But the movies I felt that couldn't wait were The Expendables, a movie I've been looking forward to for months, and Scott Pilgrim vs The World, a movie I was interested in seeing as I felt it could've been really good or really horrible.

But before I go into those two movies, I'll go into some of the trailers that I saw and see if there's anything worth looking forward to in the next few months.

A Look at the 2010 Summer Movie Season - Part 1

Even though we're technically still in Spring, I feel that after having seen Kick Ass a few weeks back, the Summer Blockbuster Movie Season has started off already.  And surprisingly enough, unlike years past, there are quite a few movies that I actually want to see this Summer.  Despite my love for movies, it seems like I make it to the movie theater less and less because Hollywood doesn't crank out a lot of movies I want to see, and even if there is something I want to see, usually it's something not worthy of $10+ for a ticket or something I can wait for the DVD release.  Which explains why my "Best Of" list last year only had 5 movies (and 1 Worst Movie), because that's literally all I've seen.  The only movie that didn't make the list was Boondock Saints II and that was only because I had seen it after I compiled my list.  And really, what other reason would there be for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li for cracking a "Best Of" list.  Luckily, I won't have the problem of putting a crappy (yet enjoyable but for all the wrong reasons) movie on my end-of-year list this year.  So I'm going to go through the Summer release schedule week-by-week (according to IMDB, so if I miss something it's their fault) and pick out what movie I personally would like to see and try to predict which movie everyone will go see.  But somehow, between those two criteria, I probably won't touch upon what movies are actually WORTH seeing.  That's because the general public is stupid yet I still watch crap...just a better kind of crap, I guess.  Anyway, let's start with tomorrow night:
