Summer is known for blockbuster films. Hollywood rolls out its most over-the-top productions for audiences eager to escape summer’s scorching temperatures by heading to movie theaters. Sequels and remakes account for much of Hollywood’s main course this summer.  Iron Man 2 – May 7Despite a surprisingly good plot, thrilling action scenes and solid acting from Robert Downey Jr., “Iron Man” was overshadowed by “The Dark Knight” for 2008’s best summer blockbuster. But it looks like the second installment may be the king of Hollywood this summer, as “Iron Man 2” already took in more than $100 million in its first weekend overseas.Downey Jr. reprises his role as Tony Stark, who has revealed his identity as Iron Man, but now he is facing pressure from the U.S. government for the technology that can transform him into Iron Man.Meanwhile a business rival, Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke) takes over as Stark’s evil nemesis. A slew of big names has been added for the sequel as Rourke, Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell and Don Cheadle make “Iron Man 2” the most star-studded affair of the summer.Sex and the City 2 – May 27The tagline for this sequel is “Carrie On,” a play on lead character Carrie Bradshaw’s name. But this just feels like overkill. The TV show was a groundbreaking success that accelerated mainstream America’s view of sex. At this point, though, there doesn’t appear to be much left to work with, as a drawn-out and gimmicky plot has the famous friends traveling to Abu Dhabi.The film, with such a strong name brand attached to it, will be a hit at the box office but should flounder critically.Toy Story 3 – June 18It’s been 15 years since the first “Toy Story,” and the film seems poised to be a hit with college students and young adults who grew up with the classic original. Pixar Studios, the series’s production company, has grown since then, as “Wall-E” and “Up” have garnered massive critical acclaim with older audiences in recent years. The third installment of “Toy Story” could either take a more mature turn or continue to appeal to younger viewers.The buzz has been so great for this film and Pixar’s past successes have been so consistent that the movie will undoubtedly be among the summer’s best.The A-Team – June 11This remake of the popular ’80s TV show is perhaps the summer’s most anticipated film. Like the original series, the plot follows the exploits of four former members of the U.S. military who have turned into mercenaries. Three of the former military men are wrongly accused of crimes and imprisoned. After escaping prison, they join forces with their pilot, Captain H.M. Murdock (Liam Neeson) as soldiers of fortune. “The A-Team” should have huge appeal to a built-in fan base of adults who loved the show in the ’80s. For those who are not familiar with the show, the film will feature plenty of violence and action, making “The A-Team” the summer’s best bet for an action thriller.Twilight Saga: Eclipse – June 30″Eclipse,” the third installment in teen sensation “Twilight” series, continues the love triangle as Jacob and Edward continue to compete for Bella.  It seems like everybody wants a piece of her now. Victoria — now played by Bryce Dallas Howard — leads a mini-vampire army to kill Bella. “Eclipse” will be a sure box-office smash, as millions of “Twilight”-obsessors teenagers will flock to theaters to see Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson as the film’s glittering and gloomy co-stars.—-Contact Chris Abshire at [email protected].
