Charlie and the Chocoloate Factory: The movie that can beat the crap out of a B script like movie where "An electronic like thing gets a surge and gets...dun dun dunnn a mind of its own!"
:p
But then again, CCF is a remake :p

Just got back from the theaters and I've got to say that the Island is an exceptional summer film. AWESOME chase scene(s), beautiful cast, gorgeous lighting and scenery, and freakin exciting!
Hey, Must Love Dogs isn't that bad of a movie... sort of worth the money to go see it.

Ok, you just relinquished your right to own a pair of testicles.

I haven't seen The island, but i've been meaning to for weeks.....
I think most people have seen enough movies where a machine becomes self aware and starts killing people. Not to mention, the producer gave away the ending on G4 2 weeks ago.

My favorite thing about Stealth were it's TV spots... They said absolutely nothing about the plot...
It was just bullcrap like "THEY ARE THE MOST AWESOMEST PILOTS! AND THEY WILL FLY! THEY WILL FLY FAST! SEE STEALTH!"...
Probably because the theatrical trailer got laughs at every showing...

I wanted to see Fantastic Four but it's not at my theatre anymore. :(
Now I want to see March of the Penguins.

I said sort of damnit!
You can keep one of them then.
I really want to see The Island, Charlie and the chocolate factory, War of the worlds, and The Dukes of Hazzard.
But Must Love Dogs?
I'll keep my babymakers thank you.
EDIT: And I've never even heard of "The March of Penguins" or at least I don't believe I have...

Maybe they use the French title in your land. The March of the Penguins (aka La Marche de l'empereur) is a documentary by Luc Jacquet. Does that ring a bell?

March of the Penguins is a story of penguins migrating. Morgan Freeman is the narrator.

I've heard about it, it's supposed to be quite good.
And apparently Dukes of Hazzard, along with Stealth are some of the worst movies of the year.

I saw March of the Penguins. It was pretty good. The penguins are cute and ist kind of sad... I wouldn't watch it again, though. I'm glad I saw it the once, though.
Dukes of Hazzard was okay. It just kind of depends on what you're looking for, I think... Its a really stupid comedy, but really funny. I liked it better than Wedding Crashers...
The Island was good. The best Michael Bay film that I've ever seen (although that's not saying much [insult to Michael bay; not a reference to how many of his films I've seen]). I did get a little tired of it by the end. Its just one really long chase scene once they escape the facility... But I did enjoy myself.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is awesome. I loved it. I'd see it again. Pure joy.
Fantastic Four sucks. Hard. I didn't like it. Very boring, and very pointless. I can handle pointless so long as I enjoy it, but I completely did not enjoy FF. At all. Okay, the one fight scene was pretty good for what it was, but that's really just relative.
I refuse to see Stealth on principle. And my girlfriend thankfully decided to take her Latino friend to see Must Love Dogs...
So...
Umm... I don't remember why I did that... But I did!

Well, these are just weekend grosses, and The Island has been out for a long time now. So naturally, it's not making much money any more.
Seeing Stealth get slapped around by a horde of penguins in its second week is pretty amusing, though. Poor Jamie Foxx. He'll have to go make a good movie quick before people forget that he's an Oscar winner.
