Must-See Flicks

A quick breakdown of my must-sees for the summer movie season, which officially opens today.

1. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - The book was my second favorite in the series (behind Prisoner of Azkaban). The movies keep getting better.



2. Terminator Salvation - I'm a HUGE Terminator geek. Not sure about Anton Yelchin as Reese, but Christian Bale is a badass.



3. BrĂ¼no - I don't know if it can possibly match Borat, but Sacha Baron Cohen has earned my commitment to find out.


4. Up - The name says it all. Plus it's Pixar, and it's in 3D!



5. Angels & Demons - I liked the book, and unlike a lot of folks, I enjoyed the first movie. This one should be more cinematic.



6. Public Enemies - Michael Mann directing Depp and Bale in a crime drama? Wouldn't miss it.



I'll probably end up seeing a few others, based on reviews or just 'cause, but these are the ones I'll plan weekends around.
