Movie-going families have it good in the summertime -- especially this particular summer. For one (very big) thing, Indiana Jones is back after nearly 20 years. But there's more than the fedora-wearing adventurer to keep kids and families entertained this summer. Use our guide as an appetizer for treats yet to come and check back to watch trailers, read reviews and more.

July and August

"Journey to the Center of the Earth 3-D"

Opens: July 11
Rating: PG
Why We Can't Wait: Two words: Three. D. It will be almost like taking a vacation ... to the dangerous lost world at the center of the earth.

"The Dark Knight"

Opens: July 18
Rating: PG-13
Why We Can't Wait: Because after "Batman Begins," Christian Bale seems like he should don the Batsuit for every movie role. Admittedly, this one looks pretty dark, but teens and their parents will find many a reason to love a smart return to the Caped Crusader's Gotham City escapades.

"The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2"

Opens: August 8
Rating: Not yet rated.
The Story: After a season of superheroes, spies, and that Jones guy, "Sisterhood" will be a nice change-up for mother-daughter movie-going pairs. Plus, it's hard to watch Blake Lively ("Gossip Girl") and not fall in love with her.

Not mentioned is "Kit Kittredge, An American Girl" starring Abigail Breslin. It opens on July 2nd, my family has been counting down the days since last summer. You can watch the trailer at their official website http://www.americangirl.com/movie/
The first three American girl movies were made for TV. This is the first on the big screen. They are all well done and family friendly. So mark the date on your calendar. And thanks for the movie review of the other summer movies.
