movie synopses taken from geekofdoom
Shrek the Third— The ogre Shrek (Mike Myers) is about to become the reluctant King of Far Far Away unless he can find a suitable replacement. Along to help out are Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss (Antonio Banderas), while Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) gathers her royal girlfriends to fight off Prince Charming (Rupert Everett).
Spider-Man 3— A symbiotic being has attached itself to Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire), making him more powerful but cruel. Meanwhile, a villain known as The Sandman (Thomas Hayden Church) is threatening to destroy New York City. With Peter Parker’s life turned upside down, Spider-Man is forced to look within for answers.
28 Weeks Later— In this sequel to “28 Days Later,” it’s now 28 weeks later and the virus is declared wiped out (but is it really gone?). It is now time for the denizens of earth to recover, repopulate, and restart.
Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End— Elizabeth (Keira Knightly), Will (Orlando Bloom), and Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) sail to the edge of the world to rescue Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp). They must then ally with Pirate Lords from around the world, including Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat), to fight Davey Jones (Bill Nighy), Lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander), Admiral James Norrington (Jack Davenport), The Flying Dutchman, and the East India Trading Company.
Day Watch— Mystical undead cops vs. mystical undead villains fighting a hidden war after the fall of the Iron Curtain.
Rise: Blood Hunter— Lucy Liu is a reporter that wakes up in a morgue realizing that she is one of the Undead. She teams up with Michael Chiklis, whose daughter was murdered by the same cult responsible for Liu’s condition, for revenge
Ocean’s 13— The fun-loving Ocean crew is back. Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and his gang (Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Bernie Mac, Don Cheadle, etc.) are out for another score. This time, it involves a new casino owned by Willie Banks (Al Pacino) after he double crosses Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould). Ellen Barkin and Andy Garcia are also along for the ride. Steven Soderbergh again directs.
Surf’s Up— No, it’s not a film about the making of that great Beach Boys album in 1972, it’s a movie about … wait for it … surfing penguins. This animated feature is shot in a mock documentary style and stars the voice talents of Jeff Bridges, Jon Heder, Jane Krakowski, Michael McKean, and James Woods
Hostel 2— Three beautiful college girls studying abroad in Europe get suckered by a handsome face into staying at a hostel which uses its “guests” in sickening and violent ways for murder.
Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer— Dr. Doom dies, Reed Richards and Sue Storm get hitched, Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm are still smartasses, and the mighty Galactus and his interstellar herald the Silver Surfer pay Earth an unwelcomed visit.
Nancy Drew— While accompanying her dad (Tate Donovan) on his business trip to Hollywood, the young sleuth Nancy Drew (Emma Roberts) comes across evidence about a long-unsolved crime involving the mysterious death of a beautiful movie star.
Evan Almighty— This sequel to Bruce Almighty ditches Jim Carrey and focuses on Evan Baxter (Steve Carell), the pompous newscaster whom Bruce tormented in the first film. Evan is now a congressman, but God has a different plan for him: build an ark, Noah-style.
Live Free or Die Hard— When a criminal plot is hatched to take down the entire computer and technological structure that supports the economy of the United States — and the world — John McClane (Bruce Willis) steps in with “old-school” detective work to stop the conspiracy.
Mama’s Boy— A 29-year-old slacker (Jon Heder) who still lives with his mom (Diane Keaton) enlists the aid of his only friend (Anna Faris) to help him get rid of his mom’s new boyfriend (Jeff Daniels) who interfers with easy living situation.
Transformers— The warring alien robots Autobots and Decepticons continue their battle on Earth, threatening all of mankind.
Harry Potter and the Order Of The Phoenix— The young wizard Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) gathers an army of his schoolmates to battle his evil nemesis Lord Voldemort’s forces while dealing with the new wicked headmistress.
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry— (July 20) Two straight Brooklyn firefirghters Chuck (Adam Sandler) and Larry (Kevin James) secretly pretend to be gay so that they can collect domestic partner benefits. But when their secret is out, they have to face discrimination from the people in their lives, as well as possible criminal charges if the real truth to their relationship is revealed.
The Simpsons— After reading the official synopsis and watching one trailer and three teasers, I still have no clue what the plot is. “Homer must save the world from a catastrophe he created himself.” The rest is unknown, save the certainty of unnecessary and hilarious slapstick violence that’s typical of The Simpsons.
The Bourne Ultimatum— Trained assassin Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is back and he’s on the run again from the authorities while trying to find out about his true past.
Underdog — “There’s no need for fear! Underdog is here!” Jason Lee stars as the voice of Underdog in this live-action movie from Disney. A regular ol’ dog named Shoeshine becomes a superhero, and will do anything to save the citizens of Capitol City and Sweet Polly Purebred (the voice of Amy Adams) from Simon Bar Sinister (Peter Dinklage) and his henchman Cad (Patrick Warburton).
Stardust— The young Tristan (Charlie Cox) goes on a mysterious quest to a magical realm to retrieve a fallen star to win the heart of Victoria (Sienna Miller) and encounters dangers of the most unusual kind.
Rush Hour 3— L.A. detective Carter (Chris Tucker) partners up again with Hong Kong Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) to go up against Chinese gangsters in Paris.
Fanboys— A comedy about a group of friends who take their friend on a cross-country trip to Skywalker Ranch in hopes of fullfilling the friend’s dying wish to see the advanced screening of “Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace.”
Halloween—A re-imagining of the classic Michael Myers film, promising an entirely new take on the legend and makes claims that it is not a copycat of any previous “Halloween” films.
Resident Evil: Extinction— Alice (Milla Jovovich) along with friends old (Mike Epps, Oded Fehr) and new (Spencer Locke, Ashanti, Ali Larter) attempt to finally defeat the evil Umbrella corporation in and around the ruins of Las Vegas as the T-virus continues to kill millions.
