Ten Most Anticipated Films of Summer 2009

Here they are. Coming to a multiplex near you: Transformers 2; the Star Trek reboot; a Woody Allen/Larry David collaboration; Judd Apatow in the director’s chair directing the usual suspects; a Sam Raimi film not many people liked at SXSW last month; Up, the trailor for which my son has watched so many times I feel like I’ve already seen the movie; Quentin Tarantino in the director’s chair with Brad Pitt in front of the camera (wrong guy, right film); and an update of the great Depression Era thriller The Public Enemy (1931), this time starring Johnny Depp rather than James Cagney. Should be an interesting summer (wrong guy, wrong film).
