mad keen for these movies v1.0

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Batman - The Dark Knight Speed Racer

This year will bring some movies that I have been waiting a long time for. I grew up on Indiana Jones and there was always talk of a fourth movie. It has been 19 years since The Last Crusade was released, and I gave up after 17 years … I look stupid now! I can’t wait. I don’t care how old Harrison Ford is, he is still cool plus it will have Shia LaBeouf in it which will kick the movie into this millennium.

I loved the Tim Burton ‘Batman’ movies but after that it quickly went south. I was really stoked when Batman Begins wiped the slate clean and returned to the gritty and the dark. The Dark Knight has a lot of room for error since The Joker has already been done so well by Jack Nicholson. From what I have seen though, it is going to be good.

A Speed Racer film had to be made sometime, and who better to make it than the Watchowski (use to be brothers) Siblingssearch the net for that story. The style looks amazing and the Watchowskis really have an idea of what good action is. I just hope that they recreate Speed’s overly girlie / breathy scream faithfully.

    yep – it is looking like a good year for movies – I’m stoked a got a book of 10 movie vouchers for Christmas.

    I reckon Charlie Wilson’s War looks good too

    They all look good. it is a sad news that the new joker – heath ledger passed away. hope this role will be remember as one of his greatest. also the speed racer movie looks good. and apparently if you wiki the wachowski bro’s the rumored sex change is denied, and indiana jones cannot wait. has been way to long!

    pah! you call these good! you wouldn’t know good if it was a barn and you were inside that barn and it exploded while you were in it! or if good was a particularly healthy piece of broccoli, you wouldn’t even know it then.

    in short, you have the WORST taste in movies EVER in the UNIVERSE

    Indiana Jones was enjoyable, but I don’t know if they should have made it – probably would have been best left at the first three.

    So now I have seen Speed Racer and The Dark Knight as well. I have got to be honest, I didn’t understand the trashing that Speed Racer got. I loved it. What was done with the colours was astounding. I was in love with it – excited like a little school boy the whole way through.

    The Dark Knight was intense. They did so many great things with the movie. It was really morbid and really gritty. I loved it. Heath Ledger is as captivating as everyone makes out too. Such a great performance. I hope they make a few more and keep it to this standard … it will be hard though.
