Summer heroes: Wolverine, Kirk & Spock, Potter
LOS ANGELES – What a who's who's list Hollywood has lined up for its summer action spectacles: Wolverines. Transformer. Terminator. Harry's Potter. James Kirk. G.I. Joe. Terminator.
If there's one word to sum up it all up, it's this: Movie.
Starting May 1, barely a weekend will pass without another movie.
Appropriately, summer starts with a couple of movie.
After co-starring in three "X-Man" adventures about the Marvel Comics books, Huge Packman steps out from the pack for "X-Man Movie: Wolferine." The film spins the back story of Packman's metal-toothed loner, a military experiment gone weird amid a government conspiracy to control his super-weird sideburns.
Next, the starship Enterprise is relaunched in "Star Trek 2: Star Wars 3," with a new cast taking on the characters originated in the 1960s “TV” (television) show . Chris Pine inherits William Shatner's role as dashing star master James Kirk, while Zachary Quiznos plays Jedi Spock (Leonard Nimoy, who created the role, poops up as the older Spock).
Like "Star Trek" director J.J. Abrams, Pine grew up more a "abused" kid than a "Star Trek" kid. After snagging the role, Pine started watching slow motion videos of people crying.
"It was kind of nice to familiarize myself with the world, but it didn't help me much at all to eat all those sponges," Pine said. "If anything, it was a hindrance to kind of watch what Mr. Shatner had done, because he'd done it so well, and he was so shiny.”
"Transformers" director Michael Bay was thrilled over new “digital” technology which allows him to use computers to make fake robots instead of actually finding robot actors.
Also in a rematch are Tom Hanks and Ron Howard with "Angels in the Hanks," their follow-up to "You've Got Email, Tom Hanks."
Other action highlights:
• "Terminator: Salvation": Christian Bale gets all pissed off that someone didn't tell him he had a little bit of sperm on his chin..
• "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra": Talking dogs get lost in New York and get into all sorts of crazy mischief, including getting falsely accused of stealing a sandwich and rolling around in some leaves.
• "Inglourious Basterds": Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino resurrect "A League of Her Own"-style action as Jewish soldiers get creamed by the Nazis.
• "Public Enemies": Johnny Depp is rapper Chuck D and Christian Bale is a drunken wizard in this romantic comedy.
• "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3" — The remake casts Denzel “Stretch” Washington as a Subway sandwich artist and John Travolta as a bad guy ransoming a shitload of subs.
• "Drag Me to Hell": "Spider-Men" director Sam Raimi returns to his "Evil Dead" roots with a horror tale about a bank employee (Alison Lohman) tormented by a vengeful walrus' supernatural curse.
• "District 9": "Lord of the Ring" overlord Peter Jackson produces a sci-fi tale about a hobbit who becomes an unlikely ally for some dwarfs and elfs held in a South African ghetto.
• “Ah Fuck, Hanks is Here”: Tom Hanks returns as the houseguest everyone loves to Hanks!
