mario's movie roundup

Theaters are expecting a super weekend at the box office when the 'Man of Steel' flies into the nearest theater with his super powers. One of the most popular superheroes of all time is expected to shatter box office records this Father's Day weekend. But if you are not into Superman, then a comedy about a bunch of stoners trying to survive the end of the world just might be the ticket. Whatever you choose it's going to be fun! I'm going with 'Man of Steel' for Father's Day! hint hint :)

One of the movies that looks really cool is the new Will Smith sci-fi thriller "After Earth" which also stars his son Jaden Smith. Also showing "Now You See Me" a story about some master illusionists who plan several heist from corrupt business men and hand over their fortunes to their audiences. Morgan Freeman stars in the movie so it should be good.

Can't go wrong taking Mom to see Leonardo Dicaprio in the glitz and glamor movie. What's your pick?

The summer movie season may not quiet be here but if this weekend's movie is any indication of what's to come it's going to be a blockbuster season. The lone movie this weekend is the long awaited franchise Marvel series 'Iron Man 3' starring Robert Downing Jr. as Tony Stark.  Apparently all the other movies were a bit scared off, and considering the gigantic openings of the last two 'Iron Man' flicks, it's hard to blame them.

This weekend could be the biggest at the box office as the much hyped 'Oz the Great and Powerful' comes to theaters nationwide. With spring break starting to get underway it seems only fitting that movie producer Sam Raimi ('Amazing Spider Man') would release this fantasy tale derived from the iconic classic 'The Wizard of Oz.'  The upcoming 'Man of Steel' seems to get all the attention regarding studios' attempt to "reboot" franchises, but If 'Oz'  succeeds at the box office, we may end up with a new version of 'The Wizard of Oz' at some point, even though the producers have said that's not their goal. By the way, Disney studios has already started prepping on a sequel that could be released as early as 2015. All I know is my wife has had this movie circled ever since Disney announced it would be making the movie. She is a huge 'Wizard of Oz' fan and can't wait to see it. So guess what?  I'll see you at the movies!

Also opening this week is a dark tale of blackmail and revenge.
