Mmmmm - Thunderbirds! :D
Saw the Ford stand at the Motor Show - they have done Lady P's car this time (wot no Rolls Royce?) and it featured the film and had a huge Thunderbird 2 over their stage - it was amazing! Plus it was all I used to watch on the telly as a nipper!
Now I just need to persuade my 2 nephews to go and see it! :D

I'm a little pessimistic about Thunderbirds, it's been TEENified. Why do Americans do that to everything?

The teens come to the rescue after the biggies get in the doo-doo.

They could hardly stick to the original concept as you would be able to see the strings. :D :p:

Garfield has been called "unwatchable" even for kids :(

I wonder what odds I could get on King Arthur being a huge pile of $h1te. In a similar vein to the last abortion First Knight.

Saying that, I'll prolly go and see it anyway. More out of interest in their interperation of the legend than anything else.

If it's an American take on King Arthur, it's almost guaranteed to be w*nk, the only good film of that ilk that I remember was 'Excalibur'.

I agree completely Bifta. Though it was a 'low budget' British movie, it is an abiding favourite of mine.

Re: Upcoming movies
 
I said upcoming movies, not past movies... Garfield, Shrek 2, 9/11, etc. are already out.

And I'm not adding Thunderbirds. :D It is something my sister would go and see. I don't really have a desire to see that.

I dont like what they have done with TB2, also like you say it seems to have been geared towards teenagers, like spykids and the like.
Was looking forward to it until I saw the trailer, should have known something was a mis when I noticed busted are on the soundtrack :dozey:

Re: Upcoming movies
 
i never really liked shrek 2, the humour was bland and its nothing we havent seen before....myers needs to get new ideas

Spiderman 2 should be good
a few new horror ones are coming out later this year (remake of japanese movies - i think 'Dark Waters' is one of them and the other is 'Ju-on'.

Oh I'm sick of the King Arthur legend.It's been done to death.I'd accept a Monty Python version but that would all.

As for I Robot.Well they already screwed up enough Asimov stories.And Philip K Dick,and Clark.
Mind they can screw up as much Heinlein as they like as far as I'm concerned but that's another matter. ;)

Alexander (November 5)
by director Oliver Stone

http://home.cogeco.ca/~johannj/net_stuff/alexander.jpg

http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/alexander/


And Colin Farrell is playing! :drool:

http://home.cogeco.ca/~johannj/net_s...linFarrell.jpg

And, at least they're doing this historically accurate... They didn't give Alexander a wife or girlfriend. That would have been just ... annoying.

Instead,

http://www.mostbeautifulman.com/goss...andcolin.shtml (might not be safe for work)

Quote:

Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt has reportedly turned down the chance of playing Colin Farrell's on-screen lover -- because wife Jennifer Aniston thinks it will be bad for his image. Brad Pitt was offered the role of Farrell's gay lover in new historical drama "Alexander," according to American gossip magazine the National Enquirer, but Aniston reportedly asked him to snub the opportunity.

Instead Jared Leto, Cameron Diaz's former lover, has accepted the invitation to get up close and personal with the Irish badboy. Somehow I think Jennifer has had to step in to prevent Brad from kanoodling with other bad boys.

In any case, that "Alexander" movie sounds like its going to be really hot! Imagine Colin Farrell kissing that sweet face of Jared Leto. Wow.

movies like that are allways better off not being bassed on some history.
it places a lot of restrictions on a movie maker and the films are never as good/fun as they could be if they were "made up"

I was reading an article on that the other day, basically other than the name 'I, Robot' and the 3 robot laws, it's got nothing to do with any Asimov story - nothing like a good bit of cashing in on someones name

garfield is pretty naff - but probably okay for kids its just like every other kids movie invloving pets and for some reason only garfield is animated.

....And they got the name of the scientist right :) - Dr Susan Calvin...:)

But you're right.... it looks like a bit of cashing in.

One to avoid in my humble opinion is Stepford Wives - saw it at the weekend and it did nothing for me - they seem to have tried to take the black comedy route with it and it just doesn't work - the original was much better

Just got back from seeing spiderman 2, and I gotta say im impressed.
The last two films I have seen where...
Around the World in 80 Days
Shrek 2

I saw Around the world in 80 days on Tuesday and it was dire, Steve Coogan done the best he could to try and save it, he did a good job though from the looks of it this film was even beyond his abilities to save. Every good scene in this film was by Steve, Jackie Chans moves had all been done ten times before in his other movies such as Rush Hour or Shanghai Knights, very dissapointing since I was really looking forward to this one.

Shrek 2 I saw on wednesday, it was funny in places but nowhere near as good as the original, was a little dissapointed though I did get quite a few good laughs out of it.

Now after 2 consecutive days of let downs I wasnt expecting much from spiderman, im glad I was wrong. Very action packed from the beggining, and I especially liked one very emotional scene wich I wont ellaborate on for those who havent seen it, I will just say that it almost brought a tear to my eye :bigcry: overall very impressed with this one, only problem is now I can't wait for Spidey 2 on DVD and Spidey 3 in Cinema :D

Re: Upcoming movies
 
I thought Shrek 2 was as good as the first.

I was impressed by Jennifer Saunders though.She makes a good bad gal even just as a voice over.
