What movies are you looking forward to in the new year?

For me, it's gotta be Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

Posted: **Sun Jan 09, 2005 10:43 pm**

Not me. I'm very much looking forward to both War of the Worlds films, and Pride and Prejudice.

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 12:33 am**

Here's my list...

Phantom of the Opera
Star Wars: Episode 3
Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
White Noise
Hitch
Hide and Seek
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Constantine
Kingdom of Heaven

There's more I'm sure, and I'll probably have to wait until they are all on DVD. Heck, I haven't even seen Troy yet... hehehe

Furlsy, don't wait on Phantom for the DVD. You must see it in the theater. MUST!

Well, I'll try...it's hard for me to do stuff like that because of the kids. And right now, it's not playing near me. I hear tho, that it's going nationwide on the 22nd. Soooooooooo...we'll see

Is it remotely possible that Batman will be good??? I'm not gonna hang by my thumbs, or anything.

What I am hearing is that Batman Begins is shaping up to be great. How can it fail when it has the best Batman villain - the Scarecrow - in it?

Unless Coppolla releases Megalopolis this year, can't say anything interests me. Then again, I might see the Aviator while it's in theaters, as I never pass up a Scorcese.

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 2:39 pm**

Narnia for sure.

Star wars... maybe. I still haven't got myself to watch Episode II, though.

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 2:41 pm**

I'm kind of stoked about the Fantastic Four movie.

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 9:06 pm**

I'll probably watch Episode III. Looking forward to Batman Begins, and will probably see Constantine, though I fully expect it to be a bit rubbish.

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 9:18 pm**

Star Wars: Episode III
Fantastic Four
Batman Begins
War Of The Worlds
King Kong

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 11:15 pm**

I'm looking forward to the non-Cruise WotW, Batman, and Hitchhiker's Guide.

Considering that Christopher Nolan is directing, I've got high hopes for Batman Begins. Hopefully he can redeem the utter crapfest that Joel Schumacher turned the Batman franchise into. If it comes anywhere near being as good as the first movie was, that will be an accomplishment.

Definitely want to see:

The Aviator
Troy
Alexander
Phantom of the Opera
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Kinsey
Episode III

I finally got a chance to catch Meet The Fockers on Saturday and it was as funny as I hoped it to be. Definitely a worthy sequel to Meet The Parents.

Yes, from what I have seen and read, the non-cruise WoTW will be great.

Final Fantasy 7: Advent Child. It is not in Britain.

Ray, A film about Ray Charles.
I heard of a film about Metallica.
Merchant of Venice.

There should be lots of good films coming.

The best from '05 that I've seen I'd think would be

- Crash
- Munich
- Downfall
- King Kong
- Good Night and Good Luck
- Oldboy
- Sin City
- Enron

While I loved Crash and was glad it got so much attention, I felt that Good Night was the Best Picture.

Crash blew. Most of the movies in 2005 blew. Batman Begins was probably the best.
