The start of summer...blockbusters

Get ready, because tomorrow is opening day for X-Men Origins: Wolverine. And if you/your guy is really nerdy, you already have your tickets for the midnight showing. This'll be the 4th film for the X-Men series (the first three were X-Men, X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand).

As the title suggests, this film focuses Wolverine and is a prequel to his time before X-Men. And whether you're into the X-Men or not, atleast you'll be able to stare at Hugh Jackman for 107 minutes. Not too shabby.

The movie made recent headlines because it was leaked last month onto the internet. Fox is saying it wasn't a complete, final version of the movie, which makes us think it might have been a marketing ploy. Really, the people who are going to be super-excited to download this film illegally off the internet are going to be the same people who want to see it in the theater with all the special effects.

Haven't seen the other movies and need a quick primer? You might want to try this or this or the good ol' wiki standby. If X-Men isn't your or your guy's thing, here's the schedule of summer movies so you can mark your calendars. Don't forget to sneak sour patch kids, twizzlers and sno-caps in your handbag before heading out!
