It's hard to balk at the lackluster month that June appears to be shaping up as. I mean, May was a killer month with Star Trek, Terminator, and Wolverine. The season of popcorn movies is not over. There's s "Inglourious Basterds", "Bruno", "Public Enemies" and "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" to look forward to. Keep that in mind as we venture into June where Will Ferrell takes the lead and robots in disguise wrap up the month. Everything in between is questionable territory. Will "Year One" be as funny as the trailer (and cast) allege? Can Denzel step into Matthau's loafers? Inquiring minds want to know, June.

The Hangover

If you take "Very Bad Things" and combine it with, let's say "Dude Where's My Car" this movie is its child. Four really bad groomsmen lose the groom during a getaway to Las Vegas while the bride stomps her foot and questions the pretty boy best friend. Speaking of which, it looks like Bradley Cooper will continue his streak of 'meh' movies.

Land of the Lost

Allow me to geek out for a moment. Will Ferrell played a character in "Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back" named "Marshall Willenholly." If the 70's "Land of the Lost" TV series isn't fresh on your mind, the main characters are Marshall, Will, and Holly. Who are played by Ferrell, Danny McBride, and Anna Friel in the big screen adaptation. Thus proving my theory that Kevin Smith secretly rules Hollywood.

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3

While we're in the mood for random trivia, Denzel Washington steps into the lead role played by Walter Matthau in this remake of the 70's classic. Washington plays Walter Garber (a homage to the late Matthau) a train station dispatcher who goes head-to-head with hijackers (led by John Travolta) of a train. Even at his worst, Travolta plays an awesome baddie. Considering a number of hijack movies have borrowed pieces of this flick ("Reservoir Dogs" and "Die Hard" for instance) all eyes are on Tony Scott to deliver the film.

Year One

"Sooo, when do you get off?"

"Uh, never. I'm a slave!"

Okay, look. I'm not expecting "The Piano" out of this movie by any means. Should an audience really look toward Jack Black for any kind of deeper meaning? Assuming that they saved any gags for the movie, this will be my guilty pleasure flick of the summer. Also, Hollywood, give me my "Arrested Development" movie. Now. Please, before Michael Cera's George Michael Bluth persona gets overused.

Transformers 2

As if there weren't enough blowing up at the cinema, Shia LaBeouf takes his car to college and gets mixed up in an robotic alien war to the death ... again. I imagine Megan Fox bends over a lot too. Sadly, the most interesting part of this movie is to see how they work Shia's real-life mangled hand into the movie.

My Sister's Keeper

Ignore the semen hair gel of "There's Something About Mary," the dancing in her underwear in Charlie's Angels, and, well, all 88 minutes of "The Sweetest Thing." Cameron Diaz wants us to take her seriously as an actress. Now, she's a mom with a little less makeup and a lot more drama. The silver lining in this cloud of doubt is that her daughter is played by the always excellent Abigail Breslin. The flick is based on the book by Jodi Picoult and was adapted for the screen by Jeremy Leven ("The Notebook").
