> [@Loopydude](#): > > **I’m Starting to Wonder What You Did Last Summer** Wouldn’t this one just be called “Summer?” I mean really, if you know what happened last summer, you’d have to have summer at some point. ---

Actually a lot of these have promise. Harry Potter in kindergarten could work. The Great Capture could definitely work. Ocean’s 10. Sure. As usual, it all depends on the story. ---

I felt Christian Bale’s talent was wasted in **Batman Procrastinates** There were too many plot holes in **The Caterpillar Effect** **Dinner Table Gossip Of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood** was too feminine for my tastes. I liked **U-570** for the historical aspect, but it was otherwise unengaging. **eXistenZ beta 3: Bug Report** lacked creativity. ---
