Legally Blonde: Red, White & Blonde
T3

Just in time for the 4th of July, Reese Witherspoon's drawing power goes head to head with the angelic trio. Considering Cameron Diaz's paycheck, this could be a turning point in movie history if Reese outgrosses the girls. Oh yeah... and that $180 million sequel… cool.

Pirates of the Caribbean

Is this THE car wreck of Summer 2003? Hell, I hope it turns out to be great fun. But make sure your airbags are working.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Word from the set is that it should be called Grumpy Old Superheroes. A great idea. We'll see how the execution goes.

Garage Days

Alex Proyas' next film, already released in Australia to decent business and mixed reviews.

Bad Boys II
Dumb & Dumberer
Exorcist: The Beginning

How often do you get two prequels in one weekend? And a big Bay spectacular that covers the same streets as Singleton's TF&TF2.

Spy Kids 3
Tomb Raider 2

2 much fun for 2 many kids who are 2 goofy for me.

Gigli
American Wedding (AP3)

The third American Pie film versus a Martin Brest comedy starring the couple of the moment, J-Lo and B-Af. The entire marriage could be as stable as this release.

S.W.A.T.
The Fighting Temptations
Hildago
Matchstick Men

Meldrick Lewis from TV's Homicide directs a remake of the 70s cop series, S.W.A.T. Joe Johnston delivers the season's second horse flick… I'm betting his is the better one. Jonathan Lynn, one of the best comedy directors out there, delivers The Fighting Temptations. And Ridley Scott teams Nic Cage and Sam Rockwell up for some conning.

If You Were My Girl

The last real weekend of summer offers this black remake of Can't Buy Me Love… oy!

SUMMER DREGS
Mindhunters
Marci X

Why is a Renny Harlin thriller opening in late August. Can you say, "it must suck!"? More promising is the Lisa Kudrow comedy that lets Phoebe go ethnic.

Jeepers Creepers 2

It's back!

Wrong Turn

Nothing like a cannibal hick thriller as a way to start the fall. Could be a sleeper.

The Reckoning
Loosely Based On A Real Love Story

Rob Reiner is back in business. Let's all hope for the best. Also, a Brit thriller from Paramount Classics that sounds terrific.

Blackout

They cleared off the date… Ashley Judd is super-powered, with Phil Kaufman at the helm and Sam Jackson by her side.

The Young Black Stallion
The Big Bounce
Helldorado

The Rock finally returns to the big screen - look for a name change - for the movie, not The Rock. George Armitage's next film is die, though his illness may force a date change. Also, a prequel to The Black Stallion that doesn't seem to have Francis Coppola's name on it, though Fred Roos is there.
