Wall-E
Director: Andrew Stanton
Starring: Ben Burtt, Jeff Garlin, Fred Willard
Release Date: June 27
Honestly, this could be Pixar's biggest success yet. There isn't one person I've heard of who hasn't been completely bowled over by the trailers, and there is tremendous industry buzz about this lovable robot film that works almost without using language!
Imagine the global box office possibilities of this squeaky and irresistible bunch as they zip across space and find love. It's taken Stanton ages to make but since we loved his
Finding Nemo five years ago, we're betting on this one big time.

Wanted
Director: Timur Bekmambetov
Stars: James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie
Release Date: June 27
First off, it's spun off from a fantastic Mark Millar graphic novel. It's foulmouthed and really, really dark and, in short, just what we'd like to see McAvoy in after
The Last King Of Scotland and
Atonement.
Timur is an extremely talented Russian filmmaker making his English debut and while having Morgan Freeman back in the guide role -- albeit here doling out assassination lessons -- scares us a bit, lets hope for the best. And the bloodiest.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Director: Guillermo del Toro
Starring: Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Doug Jones
Release Date: July 11
What, you need to know why this is such a big deal? Well, because between this one and the first insanely loyal
Hellboy adaptation, del Toro directed the jawdroppingly incredible
Pan's Labyrinth.
His partner in crime, cinematographer Guillermo Arriaga has been consistently by his side throughout, and Ron Perlman makes for the most perfect bit of comic-book casting ever. If you love the Mike Mignola graphic novels -- and you should, really -- then stay tuned for this one.
9.
The Dark Knight
Director: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart
Release Date: July 18
Um. Christian Bale is back! Heath Ledger stars as The Joker. Everyone should watch...think I said enough.

Untitled X-Files Sequel
Director: Chris Carter
Starring: David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson
Release Date: July 25
Yup, another memorable theme tune. We'd almost forgotten that repetitive skeptic-versus-believer FBI duo though, but ever since David Duchovny's madcap turn in the constantly shocking TV series
Californication, we're warming up to the idea of this sequel.
The good thing is that it's supposed to be a stand alone story, and -- I have this crucial fact on very high authority -- bees do not feature. Yay.
So...which stunner will you be excited about?
