2010 Summer Movies: What to watch for

Robert Downy Jr. returns to the big screen as Iron Man in Iron Man 2 along side such Hollywood powerhouse names such as Don Cheatle, Mickey Rourke, and Scarlett Johanson. Tony Stark has gone public revealing his identity as Iron Man while the implications of his identity begin to form as Whiplash, played by Mickey Rourke, undertakes the task of killing the helmeted hero. Iron Man 2 debuts on the silver screen May 7.

Aldous Snow, played by Russell Brand, has forgotten Sarah Marshall, and Aaron Green, played by Jonah Hill, needs to get him from England to the Greek Theater for an anniversary show. Get Him to the Greek looks to be the hilarious vulgar comedy of the summer with a cast including Sean Combs, Lars Ulrich, Christina Aguilera, Pharell, and Rose Byrne. Get Him to the Greek will be released upon audiences June 4.

It has been 15 years since the birth of Toy Story and on June 18 the final chapter of the loveable duo of Woody and Buzz Lightyear comes to theaters. The toys have traveled the road of being loved by a child, dealing with the knowledge that a teenager has no need for toys, to now when their owner, Andy, is an adult and going to college. The toys find themselves in the care of a preschool, meeting new toys and missing the love they have grown accustomed to. Toy Story 3 is the last and final chapter of the toys for worldwide audiences.

From the mind of Christopher Nolan, the creator of The Dark Knight and Memento, comes the seemingly cerebral action film Inception. It is difficult to clearly define what this film is about.  Judging by the trailers, audiences will see Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page amid folding cityscapes and rotating rooms. Judging by Nolan's resume this is a film one cannot miss. The film will explain itself in theaters July 16.

The Expendables is the action film closing the summer movie box office, starring Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Steve Austin, Mickey Rourke, and Dolph Lundgren. The Expendables are a group of freelanced mercenaries with a talent and license to kill. The film will be the blood flying, adrenaline powered, highly explosive film fans of action movies have been waiting on for some time now. The world will see The Expendables in action on August 13.
