My 2013 Summer Flick Picks

As the summer rapidly approaches, the cinematic options are looking extremely choice this year. A lot of these films look awesome, but I worry whether the script will live up to the hype. A bad story so often tanks a great concept. But if these films are well written, it's going to be a great sci-fi summer! And the way the flicks are lining up, I could even see a movie every week.

That said, I'll be lucky to see two on this list. But here are the movies I'm looking forward to the most.

Click on any of the links below to watch the trailer on YouTube.
1 - Star Trek: Into Darkness - Begins May 17, 2013
2 - Iron Man 3 - May 3, 2013
3 - Elysium - Begins August 9, 2013
4 - Despicable Me 2 - Begins July 3, 2013
5 - Pacific Rim - Begins July 12, 2013
6 - Red 2 - Begins July 19, 2013
7 - World War Z - Begins June 21, 2013
8 - Much Ado About Nothing - Begins June 7, 2013
9 - After Earth - Begins June 7, 2013
10 - Man Of Steel - Begins June 14, 2013
These last five are additional movies I'm interested in this summer. But, like I said, I'll probobly only see two movies total this summer, so these flicks are dark horses.
11 - Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters - Begins August 2, 2013
12 - Oblivion - Now Showing
13 - The Wolverine - Begins July 26, 2013
14 - Riddick - Begins September 6, 2013
15 - Austinland - Begins August 16, 2013
