May! Summer Movies & A New American Idol!

Yeah, I've been gone for a while. I'm embarrassed. Let's not get into it.

The summer blockbuster season is officially open, bub. X-Men Origins: Wolverine slashed its way into theaters and wallets on the first of the month. Reviewers collectively branded the film mediocre, but apparently adamantium sells. The film has already raked in approx. $275 million worldwide. Snikt.

Star Trek kept things moving, entering theaters a week later with outstanding reviews. The eleventh film based on the Star Trek franchise, Star Trek has received nearly universal acclaim from critics and has proved to be a moneymaker as well, grossing nearly $216 million worldwide to date. I've yet to see either film, but I'll be in theaters soon enough. Though Hugh Jackman is ripped and rugged and ridiculously hot, I think I may see Star Trek first. Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto? Two for the price of one ^_^. Not to mention Zoë Saldaña. Girl is smokin'!

And in the center is MY American Idol, Adam Lambert. We'll find out if he's yours as well tomorrow night when the winner is announced. I'll be pissed if Adam doesn't take it, though. I mean how did we get through eight seasons without a gay Idol? Totally not changing my banner if he doesn't win...

Happy May (...what's left of it)!!!
