Summer full of cinema

Students can start buying movie tickets instead of textbooks and pencils. Hollywood has been working hard to make this summer full of cinematic masterpieces.

Beginning April 30, director Samuel Bayer brings us another chapter in the Freddy Krueger story.

However, for those looking for something less gory or maybe a flick for the kiddies, Brendan Fraser and Brooke Shields star in Furry Vengeance, a story of how nature fights back to regain control over the land.

This seems to be the summer of sequels because on May 7 we get a second dose of Iron Man. Iron Man 2 sees the main character facing new enemies ranging from villains to the government.

Another one for the kiddies, Shrek Forever After, will add another sequel to this magical story. This time Shrek wakes up to find that something has gone horribly wrong and all his friends think he is a monster.

To finish up the summer people can enjoy more chapters in The Twilight Saga. More Bella, Edward, and Jacob will fill screens across the US.

Remakes abound in theaters this summer. The king of the woods is back for a remake of Robin Hood on May 14, starring Mark Strong and Russell Crow. Also on June 11 we get another chapter with The Karate Kid.

If it is a love story you are yearning for, then Letters to Juliet, also opening May 14, may be just the ticket. Amanda Seyfried stars in this romance where love is inspired by letter writing.

For a little suspense Bradley Cooper stars in The A-Team. Four Iraq War veterans try to clear their names with the US government on June 11.

More movies for the kiddies include Toy Story 3 (June 18) and Nanny McPhee on August 20.

Overall the summer will be filled with action, love, and good guys fighting the bad ones.
