It's now 100% summer time. That means one thing and one thing only. Summer movies!!! That also means the arduous task of figuring out our choice for The Hambone Industries Summer Movie of the Summer Award. To refresh your memory, the award goes to the most anticipated movie to be released this summer. Sequels, spin-offs, adaptations, these are all usually ignored. We do not recognize Summer movies released in March. It is the out of left field type of picture we celebrate here. And it's by looking through the lists of all the quality films being released unto our theaters this season that we have chosen one film. One shining example on to which we pin all our hopes and dreams, all of our expectations of excellence in a summer movie. There were a number that looked promising. The new Batman picture looks real good. Hell Ride sounds interesting. Transsiberian. Wall•E. Hellboy 2. I'll be going to see all of them, don't you worry. But it is the comedies that are looking the most promising. Tropic Thunder, Hamlet 2, Step Brothers. I have laughed out loud every time I've seen the Step Brothers trailer. I am a bit on the fence about Will Ferrell, but John C. Reilly is one of the funniest mother scratchers around. Bunk beds? Ha! Night vision goggles? Ha, ha! Tuxes at a job interview? Hahahaha. Anyways, it is with this in mind that I cast my ballot for The Summer Movie of the Summer Award. Ladies and germs, the award goes to….let me just open this darn envelope, ….Pineapple Express! Man does this one look good. In one corner you have art house darling David Gordon Green, director of such decidedly non-big budget stoner comedies as George Washington, All the Real Girls and Snow Angels. In the other corner are Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen, makers of such lowbrow stoner comedies as Knocked Up and Superbad. They have teamed up to tell the tale of two marijuana aficionados who are on the run from some gangsters. It looks pretty sweet, so that's it, that's my pick. In this election year of 2008, I am voting with my funny bone. Go eat farts if you don't like it.
