Man of Steel, opening June 14th, brings the son of Krypton back into our lives. A star we've never heard of, Henry Cavill, has some pretty big red boots to fill reprieving the role of beloved Christopher Reeve as Superman, someone who has come to help Earth because, as his father Jor-El said "they're a great people Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you, my only son." We can hardly wait! Get to the ticket line early. |

Zombies are just so big these days, aren't they? If you haven't been able to catch "The Walking Dead" on cable, in World War Z you'll see them match up with Brad Pitt, who plays a former U.N. "hot zone" specialist called back to duty to track down the virus that is gradually turning the world into the apocalypse. And with all that hair from the Chanel ad he has, the walking-dead may have finally met their match! We are so ready - opens on June 21st! |

Just in time for July 4th comes The Lone Ranger, a popular TV hero from the olden times, pairing Armie Hammer as a lawyer-turned-Texas-Ranger, with a mysterious Native American named Tonto (Johnny Depp) to take down an evil railroad tycoon (Tom Wilkinson) in the Old West. Even if it's not the biggest train sequence in the history of cinema, with a sidekick as charismatic as Johnny, who cares? Looks like riotous fun! |

After just having been rejected for his dream job with the Secret Service of protecting the President (Jamie Foxx), Capitol Policeman John Cale wants to break the news softly to his little girl, so he takes her on a tour of the White House just as it is overtaken by heavily armed paramilitary invaders. And if there is anyone you want to be there, as time runs out to save the President, the Country, and his little girl - it is Channing Tatum. White House Down opens in theaters on June 28th. |

In the not-so-distant future of 2154, the wealthy live on an orbiting space station, Elysium, governed by Jodie Foster, while the rest of humanity suffers in squalor and fear on a ruined planet Earth. Matt Damon plays an Earth worker who has to break into Elysium, to find medical care and a cure for his radiation illness. The thrill ride (along with social commentary) begins August 9th. |

WORLD WAR Z
I am dying to see man of steel and iron man 3 I just gotta find a sitter!!!
The lone Ranger, I have been waiting since I first heard that they were going to make this move!!
Super excited for the Lone Ranger
I'm a little ashamed to say, that after a decade together with my husband, from the BF/GF stages to the Husband/Wife stage, I did NOT know that he was a Superman fan, so much so, that I made fun of his Man of Steel screen saver on his phone, thinking he had put it up as a joke (only because my husband HARDLY ever does "fanatic" things like that) Sooooooooooooo....I'd REALLY like to make it up to him by taking him on a date so he can watch Man of Steel. This will for SURE go down in the Wife of the Year Hall of Fame....so, do me a solid and let me make up for it with style ;)
I have always been a Superman fan since I was a kid...I can't wait to see Man of Steel!
I can't wait to see the Lone Ranger that movie looks awesome and I'm a Johnny Depp fan!
I can't wait for the lone ranger and superman!
I can't wait to see man of steel i love superman!!
There a many good movies coming out. I think that World War Z will be a good one to see on the big screen. The Will and Jaden Smith movie, After Earth, looks good too. But the one that sounds really exciting is 'Now You See Me'. I saw an interview with David Copperfield who said that they give away some, just some of the magic tricks. But all in all, it looks like an exciting movie to see on the big screen.
superman for sure!!!!!!!!
World War X can't wait to see it
Lone Ranger! My dad is a big fan so I'm excited to see the movie.
I can' wait to see Man Of Steel! :)
I am in LOVE with SUPERMAN so I am definitely looking forward to seeing Man of Steel.
