What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

some that might tickle my fancy (all fairly mainstream i'm affraid)

Fantastic Four ...could be good, could be shite...
Charlie & The Chocolate Factory - will be good - i think
Dukes of Hazard...not holding out much hope for this..but may still catch it
King Kong - at Xmas...will be good - i am sure
Chronicles of Narnia...may be interesting...also xmas
The Island...Ewan has already slated it so it may not be that interesting - plus some bad reviews won't help
Cinderella Man - looks ok - don't like Crowe...but i will hold judgement...
A History of Violence - now this looks good - i wanna see this
Madagascar - still trying to live up to Shrek, dreamworks next offering - still wanna see it though...Ben Stiller is still very funny


and Three films i dont wanna see - Herbie, Bewitched, Casanova...out of a longer list of many

Re: What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

Corpse Bride
Willy Wonka

Re: What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

AMC (a chain in the US) is offering a money back guarantee on this movie.

anyway, movies I want to see:

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Corpse Bride
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Zathura
Chronicles of Narnia

Re: What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

:D
A new "Wallace and Gromit"?! i didn't hear of this...Outstanding News !!

The preview for Narnia looked pretty incredible, too.

"War of the Worlds" opened today in the US...seems very intense, and i'm curious about it.

Re: What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

yeah there's a preview in this months Empire


plus all you need to know here

including a trailer....

Re: What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

I'll see Fantastic Four in a matinee maybe, but I don't have high hopes for that one. I just saw a preview for King Kong, and I definitely want to check that one out. I still need to see Howl's Moving Castle sometime, too. The Island looks somewhat interesting, and how can I pass up a Wallace & Grommit movie?

Re: What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

there's not many tickling my fancy. this year the movies have been real shit.

still i look forward to :

the 40 year old virgin
+
Jarhead.

that's about it.

Re: What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

some stuff on the horizon that I'm eager to see....

The Wallace and Gromit movie
The Brothers Grimm - a new Terry Gilliam film (yeah!)
The New World - a new film from Terence Malik
A Scanner Darkly - animated film adaptation of the philip k. dick novel directed by richard linklater
Art School Confidential - a terry zwigoff film from a script by daniel clowes
Syriana - a film by Stephen Gaghan
Manderlay - the second part in Von Trier's USA trilogy
Where the Truth Lies - a new Atom Egoyan film
History of Violence - new Cronenberg (Yeah!)
The Constant Gardener - new film by Fernando Meirelles (director of City of God)
Last Days - new Gus Van Sant film

and when it finally reachs US screens later this year,

2046


I'm sure there are a few here and there that I'm forgetting.

Re: What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

oooh i forgot about the Brothers Grimm that looks good...

Re: What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

Nightwatch (that russian matrixlike epic)
Steamboy (although it seems like it'll only be out on dvd)

Re: What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

narnia is going to be AWESOME as long as it is done proper like...

also fantastic four is going to bbe bad but so good.

Re: What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

Oh, I almost forgot, perhaps one of the most highly anticipated films of the summer for me and my friends.

DEATH PLANE.....er.....I mean Stealth.

This is one of those films that is going to be so atrociously bad that it will cross over hopefully into the good realm. Of course alcohol being injested prior to the film and during the film at one of Portland's fine beer theater's is a must.

When the title card at the end of the trailer comes up reading, "A Rob Cohen film", I can't help but laugh.

The thing looks more like a really fancy Full Motion Video game from the early 90's ala Ground Zero Texas.

Re: What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

I think "Stealth" would have been PERFECT had it had Paul Walker in it. you see, the movie will be bad, but it's got to go the whole 9 yards. The CG effects are almost too good. They have an Oscar-winner in it. They ripped the entire idea off "Macross Plus" (which pisses me off).

Can you imagine:

"Hey bro, where's that plane goin'?"

or

"YEAH! THAT'S THE PAUL WALKER SCHOOL OF FLYIN', BABY!"

if you didn't get that it doesn't matter...moments that will live in infamy for me :)

back on point:

Harry potter looks like it'll be the big winner for me. FINALLY THEY ARE PUTTING PVP IN THE POTTER SERIES! WOOT!

Chronicles of Narnia looks good but a little too dressed-up Disney style. Everything looked a little too clean in the preview. Doesn't anyone wear rags in fantasy/medieval times??

War of the Worlds...seeing this tonight.

Fantastic Four...will be very good I think. Hopefully they don't kill Dr. Doom off because he's really the only enemy of theirs that was really a badass.

King King...although it kinda looks like King Kong meets Jurassic Park meets Temple of Doom. It's Peter Jackson, and he gave hope back to epic movies.

Zathura (another David Koepp one?) looks and smells like a Jumanji rip-off, just no Robin Williams this time. I hope Zathura is king of the $5 cheap-robot-from-Chinatown-where-the-legs-swivel-and-he-beeps-and-has-flashing-lights sort of thing. I really do.

I still haven't seen "It's All Gone Pete Tong" so I'll put that one there as well, as my #1 movie I want to see, no less.

There are some indy flicks I'd like to see, but the epic ones are the ones that spring to mind first. I'll come back with those later.

Re: What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

I predict Fantastic Four will be a terrible piece of garbage. Here's to hoping I'm wrong. I love Dr. Doom.

Re: What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

i've heard that they made it tounge in cheek....

so as long as people realise this it may work...but it won't be 'spiderman'

Re: What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

Star Wars

Episodes 7-9 wont be filmed so:

Anyone know (Matt?) the titles of the episodes 7-9.
I heard some bits of that, i want to read the book if its somewhere online...:)

EDIT: Im still waiting for the

Its All Gone Pete Tong :cool:

Re: What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

oooh no - no-one ever will...they make them up close enough to the official release dates, so without a release date...ever...they will not have titles...there really is no story...people have expanded the universe beyond the series, but this has nothing to do with GL's ideas...


don't forget Star Wars (episode IV) never had the 'A New Hope Subtitle' for a few years...1980, i think...but in honesty they will never have titles...because they don't exist

March of the Penguins

Re: What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

The Constant Gardner as in the John Le Carre novel? That I must see, the book was excellent.

I am also looking forward to Harry Potter, as always, dunno about the Fantastic Four - think we have already seen what is worth seeing in the trailer. Brothers Grimm should be worth the money, too.

Re: What Movies are you still looking forward to in 2005?
 

Yep. Here is a link to the trailer.
