VIDEO: This Summer's 3-D Movies Look Eerily Similar
Paramount Pictures
From superhero movies to sci-fi to computer-animated kiddie fare, this summer seems to have been filled with some memorable movies. But being able to tell your "Avengers" from your "Battleship" may be harder than you think.
Funny Or Die has put together a mash-up of some eye-popping scenes from this summer's 3-D movies as well as a few from the recent past, and, it turns out, these movies have a lot of elements in common. To be a 3-D movie these days, it looks like you've got to have a sweeping shot of a New York City skyline, a heroic archer shooting an arrow towards the screen and a huge buglike alien terrorizing the town. Throw in a blue light that shines into the sky, and you've got yourself a 3-D blockbuster. Get More »

GALLERY: 'Battleship' Star Taylor Kitsch Sinks Our Hearts
Clear eyes. Full heart. SO HOT.
We're glad to see "Battleship" and "Savages" star Taylor Kitsch making it on the big screen, though we'll always remember where we met him: the high school football field of Dillon, Texas.

Wes Anderson's 'Battleship' Is a Game of Manners

Great, now we're not going to be able to watch "Battleship" without thinking it could use a little more Nico on the soundtrack. And Devo. And the Ramones ...

It might look (and sound) a little like this video parody courtesy of Student Loans For Beer Money, which replaces the explosions (and, well, water) of Peter Berg's adaptation with primary colors, storybook art direction and strange, melancholy pauses.

After proving he could do superheroes with "Hancock," director Peter Berg is getting all Michael Bay on us with a big ol' summer alien invasion disaster movie, based on a board game, called "Battleship."
Taylor Kitsch plays Lieutenant Alex Hopper, a U.S. Navy tactical action officer aboard the USS John Paul Jones, under the stern command of Admiral Shane (Liam Neeson). When their naval exercises uncover some hostile extraterrestrial forces, it'll take all the firepower they've got to sink those E.T.s but good.

"Battleship" isn't the only other piece of board game cinema coming at you this summer.
