I've been really immersed in Bollywood and Asian films on DVD/online
lately. "Raaavan" was the best Indian film I've seen in a couple of
years. "Kites" was the most accessible, as it's in English. It's
playing near you as "Kites: The Remix", which was re-edited by
Brett Ratner.
I'm down for Last Airbender and Inception, but I gotta say...I'm
really not personally looking forward to any big budget films
except Tron Legacy. I'm way more excited to see "Scott Pilgrim" than
anything else this summer.

Saw your original post and felt sad I had nothing interesting to
offer. But the new Predators movie opens July 9th and I will be
there for the 11:00 am Friday showing of course. Also on my "see at
the theater for the special effects vs waiting for PPV" list:
June 30th - Twilight Saga: Eclipse
July 2nd - The Last Airbender
July 16th - Inception
August 27th - Resident Evil: Afterlife
Other than Predators maybe, not a very exciting summer movie list
for me I'm affraid.

Recently I've seen "Kings of the Evening", which was nice, and plan
to see a little-known-but-well-praised foreign flick, "The Secret
in Their Eyes". It's way off the summer-blockbuster path...

all the next-big-things at the box office: all the CGI- and action-
heavy movies. Typically I start to burn out after a while, as so
many of them nowadays seem to be mediocre films based mostly on
explosions, fights, and FX. "Iron Man 2" was okay, but a bit of a
disappointment. I need to watch the money I spend at the cinema, so
don't want to plop down my six bucks for something that I can wait
for on DVD. And there are some indie films like "Mother and Child"
and "Kings of the Evening" that I'd rather see, since they actually
rely on plots and good acting.
