General Chat / 2005 Upcoming Movies

i really can't wait to see

Looking Forward to:

Constantine
Kingdom of Heaven (i think its from a Crusadar point of view, but still interested to see it)
Kicking and Screaming (I LOVE WILL Ferril movies (sp))
War of the Worlds (looks like accurate picture of an alien attack)
Fantastic Four (Looks like a Spidey type of movie)
Iron Man (this might come out in November doubt it though)
Madagascar
King Kong
Charlie and Chocolate Factory
The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy
Star Wars III
Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire
Corpse Bride
Scanner Darkly
Plus any political driven movies things like F-911, and Super Size Me.
and any stories about real people like Pancho Via, and JFK, or American Splendor.
oh and Gunner Palace (about the troops in Iraq right now very raw)

Kind of looking for
Robots
Oliver Twist
The New World
Fun with Dick and Jane
Batman Begines
Be Cool

the rest i most likely won't watch,
over all i think this will be a good year. most of the time though i'm more surprised by what movies come out of smaller budget films like Super Size Me so i'll wait and see.

Oooh, missed Harry Potter, forgot that's this year. That's my number one only because I'm a diehard. It will probably suck.

Lotsa good popcorn flicks.  I didn't not vTd changed his name to iris. 

Nah, between class, lacrosse, and spring rush, I wouldn't have had the time anyway.

Good post iris.

Right now Hitchhiker's Guide is at the top of my list. I can't wait to see that. What I've heard sounds promising. Then A Scanner Darkly. More Philip K. Dick - one of my all-time favorite books too. But then they always screw up his source material so I'm nervous about that one. Could it be another Blade Runner? It is based on a much better book. Third is The New World cause it's Terrence Malick so it'll probably be the most gorgeous looking film of the year. But then there's Collin Farrell. Lots of stars in The Thin Red Line though and they all fit, so there's reason to be optimistic. Kingdom of Heaven is Ridley Scott so I've got to see it. No doubt it will look brilliant but how will the story be? Episode III cause no matter how much the other two prequels sucked, the Star Wars bug is in me for good. Hope springs eternal. That is until May 19th. We'll see. Oh and Be Cool because there are few movies I love more than Get Shorty. I can't tell from the trailer. It might be hilarious it might totally suck. Either way it's bound to be a disappointment but if Travolta brings back Chili Palmer as he was in the first, then it'll be worth it however the rest of the film is. Everything else is much lower on my radar. King Kong of course I expect to be good, but I haven't seen anything about it yet so I'll see when it gets closer. Same goes for everything else.

Also, in case any of you would like to see movie trailers, most can be found on these two sites:

Apple Trailers
Coming Soon

Just thought some of you would've liked to check out some of the movie trailers.

Oh yeah, and Stephen Chow (of Shaolin Soccer fame) has a hilarious new (well, new to the U.S.) movie coming out in March called Kung Fu Hustle. Looks hilarious by the trailers. I think the site is www.kungfuhustlemovie.com

I'm looking forward to this, because it's sure to be off the hook in oh so many ways.

I'm looking forward to this, because it's sure to be off the hook in oh so many ways.

Or just one way. The fighting is spectacular, but everything else sucks.

It's like Tekken...but real!

I want to see Vinyl and Art School Confidential whenever those come out.. I think it might be this year or next.
