Jordan Hoffman: Oh, please let me stay. I'll scrub the floors, empty the garbage and add the radioactive waste to the nacho dip. Just play the movie one more time.

GALLERY: All the 'Dark Knight Rises' Photos Released So Far
To say we're excited for the release of "The Dark Knight Rises" on July 20 might just be the understatement of the year.
Our hearts start racing just at the thought of seeing this conclusion to Christopher Nolan's already-beloved Batman trilogy. We're psyched for the return of Christian Bale as the Caped Crusader, a plethora of crazy-cool gadgets and the return of Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine.
Throw in Tom Hardy as baddie Bane, Anne Hathaway as the slinky Catwoman and appearances by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Liam Neeson and Marion Cotillard and our minds explode.
To quell such an ailment, we'll just have to flip through this gallery of images from the movie.

Kristen Stewart Defeats 'The Avengers:' Our Summer Movie Poll Results
Universal
Over the course of the last five decades, the Avengers have defeated some of the most powerful foes in the universe, from the Asgardian god of lies, Loki, to the villainy of the Red Skull to the brute might of the Abomination.

Is This the Best Superhero Summer Ever?
Marvel/Disney
I know I'm still basking in the afterglow of seeing "The Avengers" (it was teh awesomez!) and I haven't even seen "The Dark Knight Rises" yet, but I feel confident in the following statement: 2012 is the best superhero movie summer ever. And it is likely to stay that way for some time.
I'm not making radical pronouncements here – I'm not saying these are the best superhero movies of all time (though some distance may prove that to be the case) but as a masterwork in programming, 2012 attains a level of purity that comes around once in a lifetime. Get More »

10 of This Summer's Blockbusters Re-Imagined as Indies
NextMovie
Summer movies season is all about the blockbusters -- action movies with fist fights and guns blaring. Ch-ching!
But blockbusters aren't the only kind of movies at the multiplex this summer; they share space alongside quieter, more critically acclaimed fare. And let's face it, inside every loud, attention-grabbing, big-budget action movie, there's also a sensitive indie just wanting to get out. Right?
That's how we like to think of it, anyway. With our friend Old Red Jalopy, we've put a spin on 10 summer blockbusters to picture them as smaller, less explosion-heavy films instead. After all, it's not such a huge leap to see "The Avengers" as a moodily dysfunctional family, or Sylvester Stallone as an aging soldier contemplating the limits of his own mortality (with or without guns).

The 20 Sexiest Men of Summer 2012
Summer isn't just the season for blockbusters. It's also the time of beefcakes. Oh sure, good-looking men abound in movies all year, but there's something about the hottest months that really brings them out, takes off their shirts, and makes them run, leap, and roll in slow motion.
This year seems especially easy on the eyes. We have the usual slate of superheroes (all of whom look fantastic in their capes and codpieces), soldiers and assassins, but with the extra spice of an android, a vampire, a medieval warrior, and a whole stable of male strippers. Any one of those is enough to make the season, but the combination is enough to make you glad theaters are air conditioned.
For now, here's a preview of summer's sexiest men to keep you feeling the heat until May and beyond.

The 20 Sexiest Women of Summer 2012
What would a blockbuster be without a damsel in distress to save, or a femme fatale to fight? A whole lot less fabulous, that's what.
Throughout the world, the summer movies season is synonymous with chiseled male champions braving larger-than-life adventures. But judging by the crop of broad comedies and action extravaganzas being offered up in the coming months, it looks like the ladies may give their A-list counterparts of the opposite sex a run for their money.
Have a look at 20 starlets who are going to steal the cinematic spotlight.
