oh, wow!

I just remembered another movie I want to check out this year, Star Wars :The Clone Wars. While I usually don't go to the theater for animated films,I will make an exception here.

The Mummy 3 trailer

http://mummy-3-trailer.blogspot.com/

The star wars one could be very interesting, and although I probably won't go to the cinema to see it I do believe that it'll be worth adding to the 6 movie DVD's I already have.

Fundy

I think that I'll go see both of the new Brendan Fraser flicks this summer. Both "Journey To The Center Of The Earth" and "The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emporer" look like they'll be highly entertaining and just down-right fun!

I completely agree about the "Journey to the Center ...." film it looks like a blast. The latest Mummy installment might not be to bad either. I was starting to wonder if Brendan Fraser had taken a hiatus from filming.

Brendan has had three additions to his family in the last 7 years. He took some time off to play daddy for a while.

I applaud his decision, it was a very wise choice.

Saw both "Prince Caspian" and "Indiana Jones 4" yesterday with the wifey. Both are very well done, but Narnia takes the lead as far as favorites go. While they did change a few things from the book, it still is a great fantasy film. It shows us that when mankind only trusts in itself, death and destruction reign. Only when we look for Aslan (Jesus), is there any hope of victory.

With Indy, you get a good action film, but get ready for some escapism. The "Refrigerator Scene" is WAY out there and hard to believe. I won't explain that. Also, the scenes at the end where the artifact is returned to the lost City Of Gold is hard to swallow. But, then again, it is Hollywood.

Ford plays this character very well. But, he is looking his 65 years of age. I don't think that most men that age could still fight and go traipsing around the globe in search of treasure like he does.

Overall, a fun film, but I liked both "Prince Caspian" and even "Iron Man" more.

The Mummy is not a movie I am longing to watch.
Prince Caspian is a movie I am so looking forward to watch.
I hope it's soon possible to watch Prince Caspian too.

While there are some scary moments, none of The Mummy movies are meant to be horror movies. These are action movies more in the vein of Indiana Jones.

I would like to see the last movie of Jason Bourne.
I have read some books of Ludlum about Jason bourne.
Those books are not very easy to read because Ludlum descripes so many people.
That's why I like to see the movies of Jason Bourne.

well, thanks to the first 'Batman,' he picked up his first full sentence.
i used to sit him on the counter beside me while i washed the dishes. one day i had him on the counter and he was playing with his 'Batman' action figures. suddenly, he blurted out, 'THIS TOWN NEEDS AN ENEMA!!'

um...

Oh that is absolutely priceless. Certianly one of those great family stories that will never grow old.

Here's another cool story.....

When Alldat and I were kids, we didn't have much money, so we bathed together. He had his GI Joe in the tub with us and wash swimming him around singing "and gi joe was swimming in the water..."

Not to be outdone, I made a poopy and started swimming it around and singing "and then the big brown shark came..."

Somebody's stealing material from Eddie Murphy.

hehehehehee... i thought i was the only one who would recognize that.

I went and saw The Incredible Hulk yesterday. While I did like the first movie, this one is SO much better. They set out to make this movie to please both the fans of the old 70's tv show and the comic book readers. The characters feel a lot more realistic, and the Hulk himself does not look cartoonish in this film.

Stan Lee makes his typical cameo in this Marvel film. Lou Ferrigno made a cameo here again. Nice tip of the hat to the TV show. Also, there is a clip from "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" (Bill Bixby's old TV show prior to his Hulk days) is showing on a tv set. From the TV show, they always showed a bried telling of the experiements that Dr. Banner did to himself, and he was in this white high-tech chair. They brought that chair back for this film and started the movie off like that. Also, you can hear the old TV series theme music in a few places throughout the movie. Very classy!

The action scenes are awesome. You do spend a lot of time not seeing the Hulk, but when you do, Hulk smash!

Needless to say, I loved it!

Well if you are interested the teaser trailer for Quantum of Solace,the new James Bond flick, is online now.

I'm not really a James Bond kinda guy. They basically just keep making the same movie over and over with different guys playing the lead role.

I went too see Wall-e and The Incredible Hulk Last night. Wall-e was definetly A little kids movie, it didn't have hardly any talking in it. And it was just kinda lame.
But The Incredible Hulk ROCKED... I loved it and so did the rest of the people that went with me. It just ROCKED!!!

So Chris, did you make it out to see The Dark Knight. That was the most amazing acting that I have ever seen in a movie (talking about Heath Ledger as the Joker) and the whole movie was spectacular. Even those who are not Batman fans should see this movie for the performance of Heath Ledger alone

I was under the impression that Wall-e was yet another liberal "message" film, designed to brainwash children and begin their indoctrination.....

I have watched "The Dark Knight" twice now. This is more than a superhero flick--it is a crime drama that features Batman. Ledger as the Joker steals the show, and will just generally give you the creeps! The Joker comes off more as a mafia paid Hannibal Lector than some cartoony clown. This is definitely the new standard for superhero movies, and probably my favorite film this year.
