Most Anticipated Summer Movies of ’08: #9 and #10

#9. Stepbrothers (July 25th)
Anyone else tired of Will Ferrell sports comedies? The answer after his latest basketball foray was a resounding yes from the American public. Thankfully his latest film puts Ferrell back in a familiar paring with writing/directing partner Adam McKay (Anchorman) and Talladega Nights costar John C Reilly. The R-rated comedy about adult siblings who become a Brady-duo should remind us all why we like Ferrell. Oh and it doesn’t hurt that current film God Judd Apatow is once again producing (that makes it 82 films released this summer that he has a hand in).


#10. Star Wars: The Clone Wars (August 15th)
How this new animated film (and subsequent TV series) can top the Cartoon Network series that aired between episodes 3 and 4 is beyond me but the Star Wars fan in me is willing to give it a shot. Sadly the great Genndy Tartakovsky is missing from this go around which promises new stories from this pivotal war of Star Wars lore. The CG animation looks great though and seeing any version of Star Wars on the big screen is still enough to get me excited.
