The Onion AV Club isn’t very excited by the movies coming out this summer, and neither am I. I was particularly bored by the recently unveiled Superman Returns trailer. I will likely see Mission Impossible III , but more for Phillip Seymour Hoffman and director JJ Abrams than anything else.

At the moment, I can only think of four movie going experiences that I’m looking forward to in 2006:

• The Fountain
• The Borat movie
• Snakes on a Plane (note that I said “experiences”)
• The Tenacious-D rock-opera

And maybe Fantastic Mr. Fox. (Yes, these aren’t all summer films.) As for the summer, I will go see the sequels for X-men and The Pirates of the Carribean , but I’m not expecting much from either. Admittedly, I’m not familiar with the Fall crop of Oscar-baiting films – anything else I should be looking forward to?

Update: Ah, two more summer films: I’ll go see A Scanner Darkly and Gondry’s The Science of Sleep as well.
