Question: does Night At The Museum 2 feature the same actors as the first one?

I went with Star Trek. Harry Potter is right up there. The rest I'll probably see but not until they are on DVD/BD.

I went with Star Trek. I'm more excited about seeing this than I was about seeing Star Trek: Generations even though I was a huge TNG fan at the time.

Runners-Up are Wolverine, Terminator: Salvation, and Inglorious Basterds. I'll likely also see G.I. Joe (cautiously pessimistic), Taking of Pelham 123, Night at the Museum 2, Public Enemies, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (I think I'm a movie or two behind, though), and I'll probably get dragged to Transformers 2.

GI Joe has got to be Steinbrenner's movie of the year. :)

"Star Trek" and "Land of the Lost" look the most interesting to me.

I used to really like the "Harry Potter" movies, but the later novels in the series are so bloated their almost unfilmable. The Potter movies were also something I shared with my ex. I've kind of lost my taste for them.

Now that I think about it, I haven't actually seen a movie in the theater since I was still married.

I was hesitant about Land of the Lost, given the fact that they turned it into a Will Farrell comedy, but the more I hear, the more I'm intrigued.

But yeah, all about the Star Trek here. I've always been all for a reboot, and the fact that they did it with an alternate timeline to let the TNG/DS9/VOY-loving hoary old wheezers have their homogenized Trek pablum or the TOS-überpedants still can have their version unscathed is just fine by me.

Wow, compared to last summer there isn't much that interests me. Star Trek, I guess...

I agree with the Uber-Mod in regards to the top two. There are films on that list that I'll probably never bother with though.
Trek
Harry Potter
Land Of The Lost
and maybe GI Joe will be flicks I check out in the theater.

*edited to add: I'm genuinely excited to see the new Trek.

Public Enemies, easily. Followed by Terminator: Salvation. I think I was one of possibly 10 people who enjoyed Terminator 3.

Count me as another one of the 10 that enjoyed T3. It had its share of problems, but I thought that the beautifully bleak ending made the whole film worthwhile. I'll probably catch T4 (or whatever they're calling it) on cable.

Trailer, if you are interested

The girl from the first one, I don't see her.

The film stars Ben Stiller, Dick Van Dyke, Robin Williams, Amy Adams, Owen Wilson, Rami Malek, Hank Azaria, Bill Hader, Ricky Gervais, Christopher Guest and Steve Coogan.

None, really.

I mean, I'll go see Wolverine, Star Trek and Harry Potter, but I don't find myself looking forward to any of these movies in a big way like I did last year with Dark Knight or when the first Spider-Man came out.

I have learned to look at the new Star Trek as a reboot and not as a prequel. I will go see it with no expectations one way or the other. Hopefully, it'll be a good, entertaining film.

Public Enemies is a Michael Mann film? Add it in third position then. :)

It's been established that you are soulless and joyless already. There's no need to dwell on it.

I liked Toy Story 1 and 2, Bug, Incredibles, Monsters, Nemo (though a litlte less), Ratatouille was pretty good

But Cars and Wall*E not so much. especially the last one.

What a desolate wasteland the world you live in must be. Bleak and miserable.
