This summer going be great for movies, the best since 1989!

[Movies205]

1989 summer flicks- UHF!, Indiana Jones 3, Batman, and some other great ones

May 2nd- X2, XMEN 2! The first was good, and I have high hopes for the second one since I love comics

May 15th- Matrix Reloaded, now the orignal was overhype, but IT WAS STILL AWESOME, as unorignal as Matrix was on so many levels it brought everything together with great direction and effects, and hopefully this one will too... Maybe it have some Orignality this time around though:D

May 23rd- Bruce Almighty, featuring 3 great actors, Jim Carrey who is typecast way too often as just a comedian and did such greats as the Majestic and the Truman Show but was hilarious in Lier Lier, Also featuring Jenifer Anston, great actor... and Morgon Freeman best work IMO was Seven! This is about persistent complainer curses God for all that's wrong in the world... so the Almighty challenges him to do a better job in the space of just one week - otherwise mankind will be sent back to the Dark Ages.

May 30th, The Italian Job- Featuring the really incredible Edward Norton who best film IMO is American History X follow closely by Fight Club and Death to Smootchy... This is a remake of a 1969 classic

June 6th, 2 Fast 2 Furious- The orignal was a guilty pleasure I must say, and I hate vin diesal so thankfully he not in the sequal so this should be good!

June 13th- Freddy vs. Jason, THIS SHALL BE AWESOME!!!!! Though I wish Wes Craven was connected to the project, it still will be good...In ****, Freddy Krueger decides to raise Jason Voorhees from the dead in an effort to use the killer for his own bidding, but even he can't control the power of Jason and the two end up facing off with each other with some teens caught in the middle.

June 20th- The Hulk!, This shall be great especially with Ang Lee directing, and Jennifer Connelly starring in it... Just in case some of you out there aren't die hard muppet fans who know all of the actors of every movie, Jennifer Connelly was the main charachter in the Labyrinth, and did a mind blowing performance in Requiem for a Dream(No Pun intended:D) and Beutiful Mind.

June 27th, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle- Even though the first one wasn't that great, I'm sorry I'm a guy and hot women kicking ***, this is going be great, I love the first scene which is seen in the trailer...

July 2nd- Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, I love all movies, and I enjoy the first one... It had a nice story to it, which brings hope to people and hopefully the same can be said for the sequal.

July 2nd- TERMINATOR 3! Even though James Cameron not attach, I like the director they got and have high hopes for the movie...

Pirates of the Carribean (July 9th) - Based on the legendary Disney theme park ride, "Pirates" focuses on a daring attempt by a young man who enlists pirates in an attempt to rescue his young love from other dangerous pirates who are trying to reverse an ancient curse.

July 11- The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Based on the Alan Moore graphic novel. Queen Victoria has assembled a group of various famous literary figures like Dr. Jekyll and The Invisible Man to stop a mad man plotting a World War.

July 18th- Exorcist: The Beginning- Need I say more...
also Bad boys 2!

Might be good:
When Harry Met Lloyd: Dumb & Dumberer (July 18th) - Prequel which follows Harry and Lloyd - lovable best buddies who are big on heart but short on intellect - as they meet and try to survive high school including a janitor who adopts one, an inept school principal and Harry's lusty mother.

july 25th- Tomb Raider 2: Cradle of Life- This time explorer Lara Croft discovers the mythical Pandora's Box in an underwater temple, only to have it stolen from her by a Chinese crime syndicate and their employer who wants to go about causing doomsday.

August 1st- An American Wedding- hey the gang is back again and at least pie not in the title anymore lol, I like the first 2 and this should be good as well

S.W.A.T. (August 8th) - The disgruntled ex-leader of a Los Angeles Police Department's SWAT unit is called back in to reform a new team in order to protect a dangerous high profile criminal from rival gangsters intent on killing off the competition - permanently.

And to end the summer is a nice horror movie

August 29th- Jeepers Creepers 2- the first one was excellent for the first half, then went down hill hopefully this will be better and great the whole way through....

Some summaries, and information is taken from http://www.darkhorizons.com

OMG!?!??!?!?! Someone on here who sees 2003 could be the greatest year for movies since 1989!?!?!? Wait, did you read my posts about this...oh wait, that was a long time ago. Man that is too much! Yessss...1989....ghostbusters 2, Back to the Future 2, Batman(the first good comic book film), UHF, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Wizard, etc.

2003?

The Matrix Reloaded
The Matrix Revolutions
Animatrix
Terminator 3
Xmen 2

OH WELL

Sarah

[GWGumby]

I will submit to that glory that was 1989. I have really high hopes for this year.

I mean look where we started. "Kangaroo Jack" #1 film last weekend. Can only be a sign of better things to come.

[Movies205]

Lay off Kangaroo Jack! It a kid movie, and I like kid movie for there so out of touch of reality!

[ryhoyarbie]

x-men 2 looks to be alright..but where the heck are sentinels?..or how about apocalypse, or even mr. sinister!!! those characters would be great in the next movie....magneto is a cool bad guy and all but he was kind of boring to me...bring on the sentinels!!


ryan

[ryhoyarbie]

to comment on freddy vs jason is going to be awesome, i have not seen the movie, but horror movies have taken a back seat into becoming very bad. if this movie is going to be good, it needs to be entertaining and scary, not dumb!

Well the genre aint what it used to be...now its your average ten little Indiants post Scream reality tv show concept tough guy rap-metal backed soundtrack bull dookie.

As for films like Country Bears, Snow Dogs, Crocadile Hunter, Kangaroo Jack....*shivers*

[ryhoyarbie]

i still have no idea why kangaroo jack was 1st in the box office, or why people went to go see that movie....looks like crap to me

ryan

[Movies205]

Hey I Like Snow Dogs, what can I say I'm a movie fanatic I like most movies cough XXX sucks cough. Horror movies have gone way down hill


I still know what you did last summer, I just watch cuz my bro loves it.... he wouldn't know a good horror movie if it bit him in the ***... He thinks that a good horror movie.... Though I must admit I love it when I was little kid b4 I started to become more mature and see more movies and become more critical... Final Destination was decent, has some decent kills... People don't understand horror movies aren't about being scare, it about gore, and making up interesting kills... Final Destination 2 looks like crap, though Halloween Resurrecion was a step in the right direction... We need more horrror comedies like Leprechaun! Though I look forward to the remake of the Texas Chainsaw Masscre(Jessica Biel so hot).... Texas Chainsaw Masscre was terrible though lol...


Horror Movies that Are Great-
1. Night of the Living Dead 1968- It a classic and it B/W IT AWESOME
2. Night of the Living Dead 1991 remake- THIS IS A GREAT HORROR MOVIE! Get the Horror Movie of the Day award, at movie thursday!
3. Evil Dead 1 or 2- So gory
4. Nightmare on Elm Street
5. Most Friday 13th movies

Just some horror movies for those who like horror...

[CraigD]

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre kicks ***! And I'll have no one saying anything against it :). Why oh why would they remake it. The new film will never be as raw and match the intensity of the original.

And screw Hollywood for remaking The Italian Job also. The original is a classic. Having Ed Norton attached gives me hope, but Mark Wahlberg? The guy has been pretty average in everything bar projects that involve a prosthetic p e n i s or George Clooney.

Which has the lead actor feeling up a girl on-screen? That advertises a talking kangaroo which is nothing more than a brief mid-movie hallucination, and which said Kangaroo is really only featured in the film for a brief portion.

I'm okay with dumb comedies. I'm not okay with a film that advertises itself as something that it really is not.

[ryhoyarbie]

to comment about horror movies that are great, have you ever seen fright night? thats a good movie that was well made for a horror movie...

jessica biel making a remake of texas chainsaw massacre...sounds like she isn't getting the movie deals she wanted...maybe leaving 7th heaven was a bad idea for her...

ryan

[Movies205]

Texas Chainsaw Masscre looks like a horror movie should be...
This might not be true But this is what horror movie should be... sorry if this sounds shallow but this is a horror movie particularly slashers

-Every girl part must be a hot girl
-Everyone should die except 1 or 2, and then some
-All kills should be different, hence the creativety
-Within the first 10-15 min of horror movie someone must die
-Someone should die every 10-20 min NO MORE THAN 20 min!
-2 people must die after they have had sex
-Killer must come back to life within the last 5 min of the film

Those are just the basic horror guidelides made by me, if follow you will have a good horror movie...

[ryhoyarbie]

you're not going to be like those 2 killers in the 1st scream movie and go nuts just because you saw one scary movie to much are you!!!! hehehe...just kidding..

ryan

[Movies205]

no.... well maybe I'm not sure yet, you know insanity is a tricky thing:D can never tell... J/K I'm thinking about doing an editing project of summer movies...

[electricmayhem]

I can't wait for Pirates of the Caribbean!!!! and Return of the King......partially for the same reason:D

[Drtooth]

I agree that Batman, Indiana Jones and (especially) UHF were great films, I have to disagree with some things here.

Firstly, Kangaroo Jack, even for a Kids movie is... idiotic. It ruined Kangaroos for me.

Secondly, Croc Hunter could have been a good nature movie, if they didn't have that B. S. about spys and stuff like that

Pirates of the Carabien (sp?) Between this and the Kangaroo thing, Jerry Brockheimer must REALLY be doing something at those Hollywood pot parties. Plus, after Country Bears, do you think that Disney should make another theme park ride based movie?

Snow Dogs.... I think they should have taken away Cuba Gooding Jr.'s Oscar for that one. Fish out of water? well, you know what happens to a fish out of Water... it begins to stink!

Fast and the Furious 2? Charlies angels 2, Legally Blonde 2? Disney Cheapquals have POISONED Hollywood.....

As for X-men 2, Matrix 2, and The Hulk, those ones are making me drool. Too bad I probably won't have any money to see them, though....

And it seems that Pixar's "Finding Nemo" was left out of the list... has it been pushed back, or will it still be in theaters?

The movie I am really looking forward to (though it may not be in theaters till 2004... sigh..) the Great Vegatable Plot... the first full lenght Wallace and Grommet movie. It's kind of ironic. Animated films are usually 90 minutes... that's basically their entire 3 films.

[pezbalubah]

I think 1999 was as good, if not better than 1989... if by any chance this year turns out good for movies (which I've heard it's supposed to) it would be more like the best year since 1999.

1999 brought us Being John Malkovich, Man on the Moon, Sleepy Hollow, American Beauty and whether you liked them or not: Muppets From Space, Phantom Menace, and Mystery Men, along with a few movies that people seemed to like but didn't really impress me: The Matrix, The Sixth Sense, and Fight Club.

So far the decent movies out now are technically from 2002 (Adaptation, About Schmidt, Gangs of New York) so it can't count as the rumored 2003 movie renaissance. Maybe 2002 was actually the good year and we didn't realize it.

THANK YOU!!! 1999 had to be one of the most visionary and brillaint movie years EVER!!!

The Matrix
Being John Malkovich
Fight Club
The Insider
Star Wars Episode One
The Stright Story
Tarzan(Disney animated)
Eyes Wide Shut
American Beauty
The Three Kings
American Movie
Run Lola Run
American Pie
Perfect Blue(anime theatrical film)
Muppets From Space
...etc etc etc

2001 was a horrible year for mainstream films(Tomb Raider, Jurassic Park 3, Planet of the Apes) yet was a gold mine for the indie/foreign films like Waking Life, Amelie, Memento, Caveman's Valentine, With a Friend Like Harry, My First Mister, and Ghost World.

Im hoping this year will be a great mix of big budget and indie films.

First, I don't think that Pirates of the Caribean will be like Country Bears bc they're two completely different concepts! It won't be a weird kids movie, it'll be an action-adventure pirates movie which could be really good.
Second, They're making a full length Wallace and Grommit???? Yay!! I can't WAIT to see that!!!

According to that issue of Time I read, yes. Of course.... I can't remember the issue... I had to go in for an eye apointment and they put these drops in my eyes, so I had trouble seeing.

I hear their making a CGI Mighty Mouse Movie... don't have all the details!

[GWGumby]

They are most definitely in production with a full-length Wallace & Gromit movie. There was supposed to be another one before that, "The Tortoise and The Hare" but it's had production problems and at the moment I'm not sure which will come first.

There's also a bunch of Wallace & Gromit web exclusive shorts at the following site:
http://atomfilms.shockwave.com/af/spotlights/wallacegromit/

Unfortunately, other than a preview, you have to pay to see the rest. But these shorts are being used as concept tests and training for the upcoming movie.

OH YEAH! It's only the best book of the 20th century! DUH!

and by the way, it's not Lord of the Rings 3. It's the third division of the same story. Lord of the Rings is (when properly published) one book only. Early on publishers thought it wouldn't sell well so they forced Tolkien to break it up into three books.



sorry about being so imposing with my opinion, but I think as all of you will hopefully realize, it's for your own good. ;)

So that's why the very 'end' of LOTR FOTR SUCKED so bad(was like a spit in the face with that cheap non abrupt ending)

Luckily the first 5 minutes of LOTR TTT acted as the epic ending to LOTR 1.

the matrix movie was boring when i saw it..i almost fell asleep...just my opinion so no one try to kill me please or beat me up..

ryan

[CraigD]

I agree. The Matrix is hugely overrated. The effects were cool at first, but by the end of the movie they just got repetitive.

Hugo Weaving and Joe Pantoliano kept it watchable, but overall it was merely average. The sequels don't interest me in the slightest.


Craig

[ryhoyarbie]

the special effects are good...and the special effects that were shown for the upcoiming matrix movies look awesome too..

Alright, I don't want to start a war here, but I've got to completely disagree. I understand that that is your opinion of what makes a good horror movie, but it also gives me an idea of your horror movie past. PLEASE take NO offense to this.

I'm guessing one of the first horror movies you saw was SCREAM. Now SCREAM wasn't a bad movie, but it did screw over the horror genre. SCREAM was a satire of the horror genre, while not as obvious as a parody like Scary Movie, it was suppossed to be taken with a grain of salt.

Horror hit its peak in the 70s. HalloweeN, Exorcist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, these are all used as standards today. All featuring little to no gore like the standard for EVERY horror movie: PSYCHO.

During the 80s, Horror took a slasher turn. Like current reality shows, it became a game of who can top who. Eventually the genre became quick low budget gore-fests. Instead of leaving scared, you left the movie quessy. By the 90s horror had been written off as a fad genre and was left to endless sequels destroying good formulas.

Then, SCREAM, came along. It was an incredibly well made movie helmed by a legend in horror Wes Craven. Through in some current teen stars that could act, and you've got a formula to attract a wider age group. SCREAM's intent on satirizing horror is made immensely clear through Jamie Kennedy's character Randy. His entire purpose is to expose the over used formula that ruined horror.

Following SCREAM came a new backlash, Teenage Horror. Yet, just like before, these films were made to quickly cash in on horror's resurgence and offered little in staying power.

Toward the end of the 90s, smart horror started making a come back. Jeepers Creepers is a prime example. JP didn't rely on gore and shock to gain its audience, it relied on suspense and the public's fear of not knowing what's around the corner, or hiding in the dark. That's where horror made its amazing debut, and that's where it will find itself again. Hiding in the unknown.

Sorry it that got real term paper sounding, I'm just VERY passoniate about the Horror genre.

I will post what I think makes a good horror movie and some examples, I just didn't want to kill you with boredom all at once.

[ryhoyarbie]

some of the stuff that was produced in the 80's was great like the first nightmare on elmstreet. great movie for horror fans. scream turned into a real good smart horror movie that was trying to make people hate the movie and not recommend it to other people. scream 2, not as good as the first, was still in the same league as the first scream. however, scream 3 just to plain dumb for my tastes but it wasn't as sharp as the first 2. jeepers creepers just plain out bored me because there wasn't anything good about it. i kept on wondering who is this creeper, was he a regular person at one time, why is he killing all of these people, stuff like that...maybe i was asking for to much out of this movie, because after all, it is only just a horror movie...

Peter Pan (live action)


maybe its just me...but dont you think that someone..somewhere in tinsel town is rapidly running out of ideas??

[GWGumby]

I don't mean to slam back at you, Bulldawg, but what's wrong with a sequel? If a musician writes a song that you like, is he not allowed to write another song that sounds at all like it ever again?

I will admit that most sequels are purely made to cash in on the familiarity with no real thought to story needs thus rendering at least 80% of all sequels utter crap. However, taking all the sequels out of the equation, look at all the so-called "original" movies? How many of them are any good? I'd say about the same percent.

So if you have the choice to invest money in a sequel to a movie that made money, but has an 80% chance of being awful vs. a movie that no one has ever heard of before that also the same chance of being awful, where are you gonna spend your money? If you have the choice to go to a movie theater and see something that you know you liked before or something you don't know if you like or not, what are you going to spend your money on?

Don't condemn sequels. Don't condemn remakes. Condemn the public who spend their money on seeing bad movies thus making them into big hits thus creating a demand for sequels and remakes of movies that were bad to begin with!

I agree with some of what your saying. I mean, the Tigger Movie was bad enough, but now a Piglet Movie? A. A. Milne is indefinately spinning in his grave. I used to love Pooh, not Disney overexposed him, and I cannot STAND him.

Pokemon5 is nothing new. In Japan, they've made so many of these already (apparently, they make thousands of movies based on cartoon shows) so I'm guessing that they're actually making Pokemon 12, no one in America gives a crap anymore!

Rugrats Meet the Thornberrys? Now that is just soooo stupid. I mean, it works as a little made for TV hour long special, but a feature film? IGH!!! Why not make a Rocko meets Hey Arnold movie... at least it'll be watchable.

a lot of these don't even need to be made. Fast and Furious, Spy Kids, American Pie, and Tomb Rader 2? Man... what were they THINKING? I mean, they've already made enough American pies back in 1999, when there was ONLY one. How many Poop and Sex jokes can you make? ANd No one even cares about Tomb Raider any more. Everyone's complaining about cartoon live action remakes, but the video game ones are absolutely horrible! Look at Super Mario Bros.

But Lord of the Rings, however, is not really a sequal per se.... sort of like The Empire Strikes back and Return of the Jedi aren't really sequals to Star Wars. It's a continuing story, and the films were filmed all at once, and cut into three segments.

for the most part it would be in their best interest to NOT re-create their popular song all over again. people will see them as just trying to recreate previous success for nothing more than pushing $$$ and trying to sell more cds...and they end up turning away their audience because they present them with recycled material...nothing new..nothing to challenge the listener.


want an example of how BAD/Horrible a sequel can be: just try to sit through MIB2.

and now with the success of Spiderman....we will end up seeing an overload of comic book movies(which may be good cause then hopefully someone will finally take Ghost Rider[my fav] into production) followed most likely by sequels considering how well the Batman & Superman franchises seemed to do somewhat.

[Movies205]

MIb2 is a good movie but bad sequal

Premise: The Rugrats go out on an exotic adventure (possibly in a jungle?), where they're helped by the Thornberrys, a family that travels the world making nature documentaries, whose daughter Eliza (Chabert) can actually talk to animals.

When this project was announced,
it was originally titled Rugrats 3: Rescue Me.
then it changed to The Rugrats Go Wild
and then to what it currently is: The Rugrats Meet The Wild Thornberrys.

it was probably never meant to be a full cross-over film(like the jetsons meet the flintsones)... most likely the Thornberrys do a cameo appearance of sorts but with the title change.
.i could see thier main goal is to lure people into something different rather than ANOTHER rugrats sequel.

Im a huge nickelodeon fan(except spongebob...HATE the sponge!!!) and especially love their animated features.
I thought Rugrats 1 & 2 had some truly epic animation, and just saw The Wild Thornberries finally the other week...again, great stuff.

And now... a Rugats mets the Wild Thornberries film? Now that is just too darn cool!

Now...if only they can make an Invader Zim cartoon!(ie: the best darn cartoon in ages)

Dude, that is just sad. A Rugrat watching SpongeBob hater? Are you... sick or something? You're lookin' a little pale.

Seriously, how can you prefer the Rugrats over SpongeBob? SpongeBob's hillarious!

"I shoulda known! It was me all the time! I was the last person I would have suspected!"

Spongebob is somewhat funny at first viewing.....but, for me anyway, he tends become very annoying in a rather quick amount of time.

Spongebob is an abomination of mankind, along with the Osbournes show and other reality tv. Invader Zim was light years above Spongebob in humor, animation, concepts,and ideas...yet it got the can for being too edgy, and hardly got any merchandise releases. I went to a few stores in the mall, and my gosh...they had tons of whole walls taken up with spongebob...with only a couple of muppet things. sad.

Spongebob to me is an annoying, Hitler youth camp dressing, dorkwad who makes Urkle seem like a sauve debonaire bourgioues Manhattan socialite.

As for Rugrats, its one of only a few cartoons that carried the great tradition of Muppet Babies.

Well, that's putting it lightly.

Sorry, but I really enjoy it. My friend, complete and total hater of cartoons, absolutely loves it.

Ah, I guess I can understand why you don't like it. I really liked Invader Zim. I didn't realize it had been canceled. But, I still don't get the Rugrats. In my point of view, Muppet Babies exceeded that in every possible way. I just don't like it. I do like the movies, but that's it.

As for Patrick being the guy from Coach, I kinda figured it was him.

Oooh, Beaker, before you jump to conclussions, SpongeBob has done some of that edgier stuff. It's had it's inuendos and comic violence. Just wish they had more than fifteen episodes that get played over and over again!:rolleyes:

Hmmm... you know, before this, I though it was next to near impossible to sell a script in Hollywood... now it looks like they just fling feces into a fan, and catch it with a piece of paper....

Wait five years... that film will be in the discount dollar bin along with those poorly dubbed semilegal generic cartoon videos.

[electricmayhem]

It gets better though....I'm pretty sure they sing in it too!
