Given that I never see movies without at least a few of my kids in tow, I can say with confidence that Shrek 3 and Rataouille are on the must-see list.
My 13-year old son wants to see Spidey 3, so I lucked out, there. He also wants to see Pirates 3, along with my 8-year old daughter and one of my 3-year old daughters (who is completely obsessed with pirates and watches parts 1 and 2 constantly). Pirates 3 is the one I am psyched about; I'd pay to see it 10 times, in the theater.
I skipped work to see the (animated) Transformers movie - might have to do that again with the reboot.
Harry Potter would be the next one on the list - the rest will probably have to wait until DVD. But then again, we've watched the "Night at the Museum" DVD about 12,457 times since buying it the other day.

Have no fear!
Underdog is here
Plot Outline: A lab accident gives a hound named Shoeshine some serious superpowers -- a secret that the dog eventually shares with the young boy who becomes his owner and friend. This is different from the original cartoon, where the talking dogs were just an average party of city life. Not that I am complaining, I’m just remarking – I’m not a purist prone to griping about such things.
Director: Frederik Du Chau (previously directed Racing Stripes in 2005, and Quest for Camelot in 1998)
Writers: Adam Rifkin (is a credited writer on Homo Erectus, Zoom, Night at the Golden Eagle, Welcome to Hollywood, Small Soldiers and Mousehunt) and Joe Piscatella.
Release Date: 3 August 2007
Jason Lee as Shoeshine Boy (voice). Lee of a number of Kevin smith movies, voiced Syndrome in the Incredibles and now plays Earl.
Amy Adams ... 'Sweet' Polly Purebred (voice). She previously appeared in Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and "The Office."
Peter Dinklage as Simon Barsinister. He was the dwarf who kicked the hell out of Will Ferrell’s character in Elf, and he has appeared in Threshold, Nip/Tuck and The Station Agent.
Patrick Warburton as Cad

I'm not a hardcore Underdog fan of the animated series and since I loved C.H.O.M.P.S., I'll give the Underdog movie a chance.The Grumpy Celt said:

Just got back from the midnight showing...GREAT! Loved it!
My only minor disappointment was
But, that's tiny! The fights were great, and unlike some I've read, I loved the goofy type scenes. Great fun. Not to mention some fight banter, finally!

not hearing Venom say 'we'.

My opinion went from a 7 to a 4 in the car ride home. THey screwed up a lot of storylines, had too many plot holes and had characters acting way out of the way they acted in the first movies.

-Lets get this out of the way, far too much crying and singing in this movie. Heck Spiderman did a musical number.
-They definately rushed the venom storyline. This really should have stayed two movies. People, non comic book fans, left the movie theater wondering "what that black thing was". It was never explained what venom's powers was and why he would have wanted revenge against peter parker.
-Another crazy thing was the harry storyline. Somehow he threatends Mary Jane into breaking up with him, but this seems crazy. If I know peter parker is spider man, and i know you are some dude with a few toys, i am going to put my faith in spider man. In any case, Mary Jane never goes to tell Peter what happened, doesnt even try to explain it to him."
-Though they introduced the astronaught trip last movie, they abandoned it this time, going for the quicker venom came in on a meteor storyline and luckily finds Peter Parkers mopad to hitch a ride on. This is so contrived that I found myself suspending my belief way to farinto the film.
-Instead of using Dr. Conner to identify the symbiote's weakness, they instead have Peter coincodently decide to take off his spiderman suit in the church. He doesn't know that sound hurts it yet, so its amazing when bell rings and he realizes it is in pain. Why is Spiderman stripping in public. Also, they never say that the suit is hard to take off. As a matter of fact, we see spider take off the suit twice, so it got real confusing when he tries to take it off in the church and it doesnt want to go.
- There's no intro scene between Eddie Brock and Venom, which is a classic comic book introduction. Actually, no one ever calls this thing venom. It never has a name.
- The jump the shark moment was when the green goblin, whom had tried to kill Peter twice so far in the movie, and had just had half of his face blown off by Peter, decides to help spiderman take out sandman and Venom. Forget the comic book history here, As far as this movie goes, Venom has a better chance of helping out spiderman than the green goblin
-MInor gripe- did anyone notice how they changed up the green goblin mask. This is a hollywood thing where they want as much of the actors face to show as possible. Thus we kept seeing Topher Grace's face as he was venom. Everytime he talked we had to see Togher Grace. It began to get annoying
-Too much too soon. They could have done this whole movie with just the sandman being the villian and it would have come across so much better and simpler. Instead they kept switching between so many scenes and cuts.
- Why did spiderman just let the villian get away. Does he work for Oakland County, Michigan? This guy has killed, hurt and stolen from a lot of people.
I"m very disappointed in Sam Raimi. He obviously should have dropped part of this story if he knew he couldn't make two movies.

Okay, whoever is seeing this in th IMAX, I am jealous of. I only bought advance tickets for a screening this weekend like 3 days ago, and it was all booked. :\
So, I'll be seeing it on the regular screen this weekend.
