Summer movie list

Today seems to be movie day. I've been preparing a list of must-see summer flicks (fun entertainment). Here it is, in no particular order of preference:

1. Troy
2. Van Helsing
3. Shrek 2
4. Harry Potter 3
5. Spiderman 2
6. I, Robot (a Will Smith movie based on the short stories by Isaac Asimov)
7. The Day After Tomorrow (by the director of Independence Day)
8. The Terminal (romantic comedy by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks)
9. The Village (the new movie by M. Night Shyamalan)
10. Collateral (a Tom Cruise/Michael Mann movie. Cruise is a baddie)
11. De-Lovely (about Cole Porter, starring Kevin Kline and Ashley Judd. Plenty of appearances by singers - Robbie Williams, Sheryl Crow, Elvis Costello, Diana Krall, Alanis Morissette, Natalie Cole)
12. The Bourne Supremacy (sequel to The Bourne Identity)
13. Arthur (from Jerry Bruckheimer! Set in England! Starring that Pirates girl, Keira Knightley!)

Strictly for chicks:

1. Princess Diaries 2
2. 13 Going On 30 (the Alias chick actually smiles and dances here)
3. Ella Enchanted (Anne Hathaway as a princess again!)
4. The Prince And Me (Julia Stiles and royalty)
5. The Notebook (based on that heartbreaker book)
6. Before Sunset (sequel to Before Sunrise)
7. Shall We Dance? (American version of the Japanese movie)

There're also a few international films I want to see but I'll save that for another list for another day. Phew!

Can i bring my other 'chick' to watch PRincess Diaries 2? Her name happens to be Qi Ying =)

She loves Princess Diaries... keep thinking she's a princess. Clementi princess.

Joan, sure would love to watch some fun chick flick when I get back. A couple of these are out here already and I might watch one or two but will save the rest for Singapore.

LK, I can't believe that Qiying is nuts about Princess Diaries! =) Does she understand it? Or she just likes the princess concept? =) When she's old enough she should read the books the movie's based on. I hear they're rather good.
