Some Movies of interest

FromHero2Zero · 06-26-2006, 04:29 PM

So I raided Yahoo! Movies database for any signs of interesting movies as I haven't really heard of any besides the ones already mentioned. This is what I found:

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - should be fun!

A Scanner Darkly - I don't care for the rotoscope thingy they used but it looks intriguing.

Clerks II - come on, it's Kevin Smith back to his roots!

Lady in the Water - M. Night Shyamalan's latest. The trailer makes it look pretty spooky.

My Super Ex-Girlfriend - superhero-based comedy. Possible fun times but also looks super cheesy.

Miami Vice - looks really gritty and tough action flick.

Snakes on a Plane - Samuel L. Jackson on a plane full of snakes. Love that title!

DOA: Dead or Alive - hot chicks in bikinis doing martial arts. I'm there!

So it looks like there are a lot more interesting flicks coming out then I originally thought. Either way, it can't beat 2007 -- spiderman 3 AND Transformers!

Lady in the Water, Clerks II, and Snakes on a Plane are my top 3. The rest are maybe-maybe not. I really don't like My Super Ex Girlfriend. It looks really lame.

Not a bad list, rayjb6! I'm very curious about "The Departed". I loved the Hong Kong original and it'll be interesting to see all this great American actors and filmmakers tackle it.

DOA: Dead or Alive doesn't seem like it's gonna closely follow the video games, but i think the girls will make up for that!

Holly Valance is in DOA. I'm there, dude!

Just watched one of the worst movies I have ever seen. New World with Colin Farrel. You should burn down your video store if they won't take it off the shelf.

Colin Farrel.

Wasn't that a hint?

I like to give everyone a chance once in a while. It wasn't really a speaking roll for him.

Farrell was pretty good in Tigerland. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it. He plays a Texan and did a pretty good job. My favorite Joel Schumacher movie ever -- because it didn't look or feel like a Joel Schumacher movie.
