June 19 : Angry young man coming to town...No, it's not Big B

It's been almost 40 days since X-Men Origins: Wolverine released in the US. After a scintillating run around the globe it's finally on its way to our shores. The $150 million movie has taken in a decent sum of $351 million so far and is yet to open in some more markets. Obviously, it's successful enough to green light a sequel.

On a personal note, I'm not happy with the India release of Hollywood movies being delayed like this. This time, it was the rift between the distributors and the multiplex owners which kept summer flicks like these out of our reach. Earlier it used to be the tag of a small market, which resulted in delayed releases.

In the case of Wolverine, the dates were postponed more than once and if the trailers on air are to be believed, very soon we'll get to see the angry young man of the superhero universe tearing apart bad guys in the latest movie of the X-men series. The date to mark on your calendars is June 19 and that can also be marked as the date to give your nail cutter that much needed vacation.

Critics, please shut your mouth and pack up. We don't buy tickets to a summer action flick with a hope to savour cinematic brilliance. We do it for the mindless fun. If you can't figure that out, look for another job.

About the pic, that's not Wolvy's idea of a manicure. Nor is he sharpening his adamandium claws. For him, it's just a day's work of saving the good guys.
