Kevin's Watch

What movies are you looking forward to this year?

Night Watch--Set in contemporary Moscow, "Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor)" revolves around the conflict and balance maintained between the forces of light and darkness -- the result of a medieval truce between the opposing sides. As night falls, the dark forces battle the super-human "Others" of the Night Watch, whose mission is to patrol and protect. But there is constant fear that an ancient prophecy will come true: that a powerful "Other" will rise up, be tempted by one of the sides, and tip the balance plunging the world into a renewed war between the dark and light, the results of which would be catastrophic. "Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor)" is the first installment of a trilogy based on the best-selling sci-fi novels of Sergei Lukyanenko entitled Night Watch, Day Watch and Dusk Watch

Sounds interesting Danlo. Will have to watch for it. Me, I have no idea what movies are even supposed to come out this year.

One out of three? hurrah, Lord fouls Bane it is.

A Scanner Darkly.

My favorite PK Dick story will probably end up being butchered by the over-the-top visuals and Keanu's wooden acting, but I'll give it a shot anyway.

Why? If you want to watch a piece of wood, I can send you this lovely mahogany plank. Much more interesting.

More range too....

Exactly. What's your address? I'll send it to you right away... the sooner the better; this way you can get over your obession of Keanu Reeves.

I hope X-Men 3 won't disapoint.

Agreed, Revenant - I haven't seen much about it so far.

The spoiler trailer looks pretty good. Apparently James Marsden is busy filming his role in Superman so Cyclops has a much reduced role and Storm moves in to fill the gap (which is probably why Halle Berry didn't quit the role).

Yes I hope X-3 is good,I would like to see a solo Wolverine movie in the future.

i hope it is good too... i thoroughly enjoyed the first too... I really hope this one doesn't flop.

V For Vendetta

I'm a huge fan of Alan Moore's graphic novel (about a vigilante who wages war against a future fascist state). I'm hoping for a classic, but I'm bracing for a clunker. The adaptation is being produced by the Wachowski brothers, so it'll either be inspired or be butchered by over-the-top visuals and Keanu's wooden acting...oh, wait, Keanu isn't in this movie. But Natalie Portman is. At least she isn't paired with Hayden Christiansen again (speaking of lumber).

Natalie Portman is not a wooden actress.

She is actually amazing, if you were her other films.

I believe completely that whatever woodeness that was in Star Wars came from the pooress of the writing - which concentrated on action more than the characters.

Action, and telling a story everybody already pretty much knew. I do agree that Natalie is a good actress anywhere else.

Portman was great in Closer.

Heh, sorry if I implied that Portman was a bad actress. Mishandled my words. I have no issues with her.

In May X-Men 3, In June Superman Returns, In July Pirates of the Caribbean, In November Casino Royal.
That I know about that is.
