10 movies we want to see this summer (and 5 that make us nervous)

Thank GOD summer is here. You can keep the chirping birds and baseball games, we're spending the season in the cool air conditioning of the movie theater. And like someone with Seasonal Affective Disorder that's been stuck in Alaska's 30 days of night, we could sure use some movie sunshine. Sure, there have been a few fun movies so far this year - Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Cloverfield, and... um, well... there's been at least two - but there has also been an insane amount of awful at the multiplex. For every marginally acceptable mainstream release like Definitely, Maybe or Cloverfield, it felt like there were at least five One Missed Calls or Over Her Dead Bodys. I mean, we’ve suffered through not one, not two, but THREE Asian horror remakes since New Year’s Day. That's more than any movie season can take. We need summer movies more than we have in any other year. We need something with potential; something with scope; something with toys, video games, and a big budget. And those movies are finally here. Movies don't necessarily get better in the summer, but they definitely get bigger and, after you've sat through movies like 88 Minutes and Prom Night, believe me, size matters. Everyone from Entertainment Weekly to People Magazine has dragged out their predictable summer movie previews, but we like to approach things differently at The Deadbolt. We're ready to play favorites. So, on that note, here are the ten movies we're most excited to see this summer, in order, followed by five biggies that make us nervous.
