Sorry for not sharing this before the summer blockbuster season kicked off with Iron Man, but as I've already said, I just couldn't make time to get it done. 

If you don't remember how this works then just know that I provide titles and links to flicks that I think will be worth your time, and all you have to do is click furiously and mark down what looks good to you.  Also, keep in mind that I've always felt that the summer should be full of either flash or comedy, so don't really expect to see too many of the super small art-house sort of releases.  Read on.

- Five You Should Avoid For Sure -

War, Inc
In Theaters -
May 23
One of the actors that I have the most respect for is John Cusack, but the timing of this feels all wrong.  The title also gives me the vibe that it will end up being two hours of "how the world is a terrible place."  No thanks.

You Don't Mess With The Zohan
In Theaters - June 6
Every single time that I see the trailer for this I throw up in my mouth.  That's all I want to say about it.

The Love Guru
In Theaters -
June 20
Mike Meyers is a funny guy, but the trailer for this is a little racist and devoid of any jokes that weren't already done in the three Austin Powers movies.

Meet Dave
In Theaters - July 11

I have no idea how Eddie Murphy keeps getting roped into crap like this and Norbit, but somebody has got to tell him that he can do better.  The money can't be that great.

Step Brothers
In Theaters - July 25

I will always find John C. Reilly and Will Farrell funny, but it's time for them to stop playing the same clueless characters.  They can do better.
