Best Movie Review Quote In Awhile

[filkertom]

Jim Ridley, writing in The Village Voice about Ice Age 2: The Meltdown:

Watching this zoo of long-vanished quadrupeds, you're left with an eerie message for our own warming times: They fought the thaw, and the thaw won.

I hope to get to that one sometime next week, and we're gonna go see V For Vendetta at last on Sunday. And, in just a couple of weeks, Silent Hill. What's on your movie horizon?

I'll probably have to go see Scary Movie 4, although I'm not impressed with the previews. I'm a big fan of David Zucker. And I'm also looking forward to Silent Hill.

The movie I'm really looking forward to although no release date has been set as far as I know is the new Troma film Poultrygeist-Attack Of The Zombie Chickens.

I also watched the preview for United 93 online and got chills from it. I may have to go see that one.

Also on my list is An American Haunting, Cars, and of course the indie film being worked on by my friends Raymond and Scum: Blood and Guts.

we're definitely seeing Silent Hill, because kane has been doing the happy fanboy dance ever since it was announced. and we're hoping to catch a midnight showing ofX-Men: The Last Stand before driving off to marcon. other films will probably wind up waiting till the DVD release, because there's just not enough time.

gridlore and I saw V for Vendetta for the second time this past weekend; the end still choked me up. For current releases, Inside Man is getting really good word-of-mouth on my f'list, and while the subject matter (and the genre as a whole) really does nothing for either of us, we've been tempted to take my brother to see Stay Alive just to watch his reactions (he's been a game tester for most of the last decade). As far as the summer season is concerned, we're surprisingly looking forward to Poseidon (it helps that I'm young enough - just - to not have seen the original); X3 is sadly going to have to wait until after BayCon (I'm working, Doug's a panelist, and we don't want to miss out on The Larry & Jerry Show at Meet the Guests on Friday).

Being as how I review plays and therefore almost never see movies, I'm planning on seeing the new X-Men movie but beyond that, it's anyone's guess.

Nothing in the immediate future, but I'm looking forward to X3, Superman, and the second Pirates movie. Superman in particular, I was impressed as hell by the trailer - it looks like they really "get" the whole point of Superman. (I have to admit, I get a bit teary watching it.)

I, on the other hand, don't think they've got a damn thing, except rights to footage and sound from the original. I'm gonna go see it, but I am unimpressed by pretty much everything I've seen so far. I hope I'm wrong.

X3 and Pirates should be fun, but I'm not as jacked for them as I wish I was. Over the Hedge, on the other hand.... ;)

[darthparadox.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes, I'd forgotten about Over the Hedge. I read that every day as a kid, and then when it dropped off the local newspaper page, it dropped off my radar for several years. I was quite surprised to see it show up as a movie, and I'm looking forward to it, but I somehow keep forgetting it exists. Probably because your LJ is really the only place I've heard about it - haven't seen a single trailer or anything.

I hope you're wrong about Superman too, but all I've really seen is the trailer, so I could be wrong too. So... we'll see, I guess.

X3 definetly has top priority. Scary movie 4, if I can get group to go with me. An American Haunting looks interesting. Definetly wanna check out the Davinci Code. Then maybe Over the Hedge and Cars. I am not so sure about MI:3 or the Omen remake. Then there is Click and God forgive us Superman Returns. Pirates will have a lot to live up to but I am opptomistic. Any thing by M. Night is hit or miss so we will see with Lady in the Water. Miami Vice will be good but I think it will be too serious and gritty. I'll skipp Snakes on a plane but will definetly buy Clerks II. Then finish up the summer with the video game fluff of DOA.

I really want to like V, but I dunno.

Tonight, we're going to see Fritz Lang's Metropolis at UofL. And apparently they'll have a theremin to help provide the music.

Kewl. When we saw the restored Metropolis at the Michigan Theater, it was one of the showings that did not have the splendid restored soundtrack, but instead the big honkin' Mich Theater pipe organ, played wonderfully (and improvisationally!) by Paul Lauter. Fantastic.

Sadly, we didn't get to go, on account of the sky was falling.
