I'm getting excited about Thor...The one that looked really sweet to me though was Super 8.
I'm really glad they're rebooting Spider-Man. Reboots are going to get really old really fast...I don't need to see Spider-Man become Spider-Man again.
On Pirates of the Caribbean 4 Against my better judgment, I am getting excited about this movie...this is looking really, really good.

Ben is still really excited about The Hobbit movie ☹️
