Ooh! Did That Just Pop?! *Movie Edition*

If you're a movie freak like myself, then you must get pretty excited when the summer rolls around. There are always great films to run out to the theater to see. From huge epic summer films to the small documentary creepers. I'm sure everyone will be happy to know that this year is much better than last years lineup.

First out of the box is X-Men:First Class. I have been waiting for this one for a while. Especially after the dissappointing Wolverine flick that came out in 2009. Before mutants were known to the world, there are young individuals discovering their powers for the first time. Following young professors, Charles Xavier & Erick Lehnsherr, before they were Professor X & Magneto. This film has a far much better storyline than Wolverine & true X-Men fans should not be dissappointed. Other characters making their young debut are: Emma Frost, Beast, Azazel, Mystique, Havok, & Angel Salvadore. The film opens June 3rd.

Another film caught my eye by accident. Going deep into the roots of American Gospel, Rejoice & Shout is bound to have people clapping throughout the film. Tracing the history of the beginning of gospel & the singers who helped bring this genre to the nation's eyes. With commentary from Mavis Staples & Smokey Robinson, the talk about the civil rights era to present. If you're a gospel fan or not, this film is definitely worth seeing http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810150596/trailer

Super 8 is a film directed by J.J. Abrams opening June 10th. This film starts off in the summer of 1979, with a group of friends that are making a super 8 movie in a small Ohio town. When suddenly they witness a horriffic train accident that soon changes their lives forever. With J.J. as the director & Steven Speilberg as the producer, I'm sure the film delivers all the way. http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810159189/trailer

There's always some comedy that creeps in & there's no way of telling if they're good until your friend sees it first.The film Bad Teacher is about a teacher who is wrong on all levels. Cameron Diaz plays a teacher that drinks in class, smokes weed, & is very foul mouthed around the kids. She is looking for a man with money to take care of all her needs. She must win over a new substitute teacher played by Justin Timberlake, to really take her out of the teaching biz for good. In my opinion, Cameron Diaz hasn't been very funny since There's Something About Mary, Jason Segal is in it & that's enough for me. http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810150690/trailer

For all you Hip Hop fans, you should definitely be thrilled to check out Beats Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest. This is one of my most favorite hip hop acts of all time & they debut in the year I was born. Fabulous 1985! One of the most innovative hip hop artists of all time as well, this documentary goes behind the scence in their travels across the globe. Plus also going in deep on how A Tribe Call Quest was formed & still kickin' it. I'm definitely checking this one out when it comes to theaters July 8th. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xfwfre_a-tribe-called-quest-documentary-trailer_music
