[she-elfwarrior19]

kingdom of heaven( orlando bloom)
charlie and the chocolate factory
cant think of any others

[pacifiquesea]

Howl's Moving Castle
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

[tgraveline]

ahh yes charlie does look like a good one.

Kingdom of heaven, not so sure, because of how many epics do we need these days now? I mean we are getting like two a year now. Just so many of them.

[Warrior-Poet51088]

I'm interested in KoH, but I can't believe (as is my understanding) that they gave Orlando Bloom a better role than Liam Neeson or Jeremy Irons!

Anyhow, that, RotS, and Pink Panther are all I'm interested in--so far!

[she-elfwarrior19]

i saw the preview on the internet and orlando looked as if to be the right guy for the part,

[DryadofLanternWaste]

Somehow I can't see Olando Bloom being the right actor for any part, but hey that might just be because I can't stand him and I think he's a horrible actor. *shuns Orlando Bloom fans* sorry Puddleglum

I think the storyline is going to be "eh" too. I don't think I'll see KoH.

War of the Worlds might be interesting. I'll probably see RotS, but I think my favorite part will be the LWW preview, lol.

[Warrior-Poet51088]

i saw the preview on the internet and orlando looked as if to be the right guy for the part,

Thus saith the guy with the Orlando Bloom pic as his avvie--big surprise, lol!

DoLW, War of the Worlds looks like it has some potential, but not much. I might go to that one, but I doubt it, since I go to very few movies.

KoH-I'm interested because I really, really, like Medieval Warfare and History, and The Crusades were a big part of that era.

[Dragon]

Big movies of the summer?

"Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (well, April is close enough to summer isn't it?)
"Batman Begins"
"Fantastic Four"
"War of the Worlds"
"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"

[pacifiquesea]

Hitchhiker's is practically now, it's spring. Less than two weeks!

Kingdom of Heaven is, of course going to be awful. Just like Troy and Arthur and the 80 billion other "epics." Orlando holds a special place in my heart because of his terrible acting. But did you see the clip where he's the one giving the rousing Aragorn-esque speech to his army? Come on. . .

[rosymole]

Ooh, 'War of the Worlds'! I'd forgotten about that one! Yes!

[waterhogboy]

I wanna read that book. My sister read the first chapter while training her laptop and it sounded really interesting - and my form tutor told me all botu the tryphids or whatever - it sounds really good

[lsipher]

"Kindom of Heaven"
"Fantastic Four"

I'm planning on seeing KoH for my birthday...you know, I'm not a big Orrie fan, but he looks pretty good now that he's put on fifteen pounds, he might just work for this role.

tg

beside ROTS :) there's alot:

Batman Begins
Madagascar (luv pixar movies)
War of the World
Mr & Miss Smith
Domino :D going to be saaaaWEET!
Unleashed aka Danny the Dog
Hitchiker guide to Galaxy
The Longest Yard :) i like adam sandler movies.
Fantastic Four

and i'm sure there's more i can't remember atm.

[Ithilien]

I want to see The Island (Ewan Mcgregor!)
The Intrepretor (which sounds fascinating!)
The Fantastic Four (which looks a little cheesy)
War of the Worlds (which i doubt would be good)
Hitchiker and..
STAR WARS!

My Mam would probably drag me to see KoH. She's a huge fan (i'd like to stress the word "huge") of Orlando Bloom, which is rather depressing since I'm supposed to be the besotted one.

[Ithilien]

Oh, on the topic of few roles for Orlando Bloom, to anyone who is a fan of opera, he would make an AMAZING Don Giovanni!

[she-elfwarrior19]

i saw the preview for war of the worlds and i think it looks so horrible and dumb. Orlando is an amazing actor and i know he will be great in KOH

[Dragon]

Madagascar (luv pixar movies)
sorry if this puts a damper on your joy, but Madagascar is not Pixar. It's Dreamworks SKG, makers of Shrek and Shark Tale.

[tgraveline]

mauly probably doesn't care about that kind of thing. He just likes them if they are animated, lol.

tg

[Warrior-Poet51088]

Have y'all bought your tickets for RotS yet???

I bought mine on Tuesday, but I had to settle for the 12:05 showing, not the 12:01, cuz that was already sold out. It's still DLP, of course, which is sweetness.

I'm trying to convince a friend of mine to campout for all of us (he's in college, and he'll be out of school by the 19th), and since I won't be able to get to the theatre til around 6, I really think we need someone who can get us a place in line so we don't get lousy seats.

[lsipher]

I'm trying to figure out how early I need to be at the theatre for the 12:01 showing...I don't think it'll be THAT crowded...maybe 8 o'clock?

-Lu

[The Prince]

How do you find midnight showings I dont know how it works for the rest of you but I cant just chek The Paper and see " ~Movies name~12:01 ticket prices are $50(not realy that pricey but for our purposes...)"
get my point?????????? :confused:

[inkspot]

Prince, are you in the USA? You can go to www.fandango.com and input your ZIP code for your nearest cinemas, and under select movie, choose Star Wars. It will tell you the movie opens May 19, and then there will be a link for May 18 show times, and it will show you which nearby cinemas are having a 12 or 12:01 showing.

[The Prince]

Thx Inkspot I'll chk it out :)

[mauly]

sorry if this puts a damper on your joy, but Madagascar is not Pixar. It's Dreamworks SKG, makers of Shrek and Shark Tale.

oh yeah :) lol
thx for the correction.

mauly probably doesn't care about that kind of thing. He just likes them if they are animated, lol.

tg

[she-elfwarrior19]

[she-elfwarrior19]

what about the wax house or soemthing like that it looks alittle scary

[tgraveline]

house of wax looks funny, it does look creepy, but the fact that paris hilton is in it just makes me laugh. Though elisha cuthbert is hot, but whatever, i don't go see movies for the hot girls anymore, lol.

tg

PS yeah i bought my starwars tickets on fandango too

JET LI OWNS!! :cool:

[tgraveline]

dude that movie is going to be lame too, i'm sorry, i like some jet li movies, but that just seems like a lame storyline to me. Who knows though, but that movie has been delayed so much. Which reminds me of BattleField Earth, which was one of the worst movies of all time and dumbest religion i've even heard of.

dude :D Jet Li movies don't need storylines lmao :p they just gotta have some good martial arts killing spree and :D this one got em by the boatload.

*SLAP*

that's for comparing it to battlefield earth.

*SLAP*

don't do it again.

[Warrior-Poet51088]

*ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh* TG got owned! *ohhhhhhhhhhh*

Hey, tg, I currently have 5, that's right, FIVE tickets in my possession, but 2 of them are for my friends, and the other 3 are for me, my bro, and my dad.

[tgraveline]

cool deal, but yeah, that was a weak owning i guess my friends.

Some Spoilers for Kingdom of Heaven

Anyways, just wanted to let you know i saw kingdom of heaven last night. It um, was just blah to me. I didn't feel for the characters, i knew when i was suppose to, but it wasn't stirred in me. My buddy felt the same way about it too. Now I think it is Jeremy Irons who plays Professor Reamus Lupin in the Harry Potter movies, now he was great in this movie. I swear the best people for the parts were killed early on, lol. We think that maybe if this movie had come out instead of gladiator at the time that one did, we would have liked this movie more, but maybe people are tired of epics and we need something more than just the formula being overused right now. It was at least entertaining, the church is not completely bashed in it. Orlando really is not an empowering lead actor in my opinion, but its like he did the best he could, he just wasn't right for the part. Kind of the same way that Michael Keaton did a great Bruce wayne but he wasn't the dark knight. Its just that kind of thing i guess. Well I hope you know what i mean.

tg

[tgraveline]

ok, what i want to know is why aren't we seeing more of whats up with the new charlie and the chocolate factory yet? this is crazy, you usually see stuff earlier than this it seems.

Anyways, i'm so stoked about revenge of the sith right now. I'm just so excited about this one.

tg

[Lunis]

Hey Tg, your sort-of review of "Kingdom of Heaven" was good. I read it to Gleeleaf, and she agreed that you just put your opinion down very well without being exaggerated, rude, and all that other stuff people usually do when they don't like a movie. ;) I haven't seen it yet, but I have a feeling I'll think the same about it as you and your friend did. Bloom needs to grasp his own acting personality. Maybe he just needs more experience.

As for "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory," you're right; I saw a preview a few times then I haven't really heard of it since... Maybe I'm just out of it though, 'cause, yep, my mind is stuck on Star Wars too. :D

(*Luni Lewis

[tgraveline]

well i'm glad it was a good enough review of my opinions without spoiling much at all.

tg

[Thanatos]

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Batman Begins
Fantastic Four
Pink Panther
War of the Worlds
ummm. i know there are more, just cant think of any at this point.

[waterhogboy]

LOL! Until yesterday, i didnt realise that war of the worlds and day of the tryphids were two different books..... :o

[mauly]

Saw Kingdom of Heaven friday nite and it was just okey.
At times i felt like i was watching Troy,Gladiator and ROTK all over again.

and

today i saw CRASH! :) good drama bout different races and sterotypes.

[Ithilien]

I loved kingdom of heaven! I'm not an Orlando Bloom fan so I say this completely unbiasedly: he was wonderful - a great actor. It didn't quite feel like Troy or Gladiator but I must admit it resembled TTT and ROTK- especially Helm's Deep.

[tgraveline]

yeah it was just disappointing for me knowing that ridley scott is a great director, but i'm really just not happy with his latest here.

tg

[she-elfwarrior19]

I love ORLANDO! lol i thought he was great. That movie was great to

[lsipher]

Saw KoH the other day...it was okay. Didn't get real into it. Orlando Bloom does indeed look better now that he's bulked out a little.

Afterwards I went home and watched Gladiator...and cried at the ending.

Know why KoH didn't do better...two words...Russel Crowe *sigh*.

Sorry Orrie.

-Lu

[Thanatos]

I have yet to see KoH, but i want to. I think i might be seeing it this weekend, but is only a mayB. My parents dont like to go anywhere, and my friends are too stupid and none of them have gotten their lience or they have to work. I am getting mine in bout 2-3 months, woot!

[she-elfwarrior19]

yes gladiatior is a very good movie aswell, but its to old for me, i love KOH. between those two. And troy is a good one also. I still would like to see Alexander

[holyboy]

id have 2 say, Puddle that u have a little obsession with Bloom!!!! ;)

i love gladiator, wished i owned it, but saw it 5 years after it came out, then couldn't find it anywhere :( o well, what can u do.

also like Shrek, one of the best movies in the world (didn't like Shrek 2) best character was Donkey, and the fight scene with Robin Hood was gold :D

[crjr9833]

I'll see 'Charlie', but I'm not that excited about it. It may be quite good, but Johnny Depp is too young to play Willy Wonka. I'm not saying that he's a bad actor: Just too young. We'll just have to see how he pulls off the part.
Nothing else looks any good.

[ChildOfAslan7]

For the summer of 2006:

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

a long wait......

[Aravis Kenobi]

Totally agree with you! I'm so excited about POTC 2. I'm going to let my sister go to it first to see if it's any good, then she can tell me if it's worth seeing.

[Aravis Kenobi]

Oh, and one more thing. I've had a couple of people add me to their Instant Message contact lists, and if you want to do this, please contact me by e-mail or by PMing me.

[onlymystory]

XMen 3. I mean seriously people how can you not be thrilled about XMen? I went crazy just over the preview. and I'm looking forward to the DaVinci Code.

[glamel]

Da Vinci code it is:D
Pirates of the Caribbean
superman returns
x-men 3

[rosymole]

I'm glad this thread has been resurrected..it means Summer is on the way! Hoorah!!!

For me..the DaVinci code- it looks very silly, but very entertaining.
But, sniffsniff, no Star Wars...but isn't Superman out soon?

[Aravis Kenobi]

I'm not looking forward to the Davinci code. I didn't capitalize that because I don't care for it, and I'm not gonna respect it. One of the worst films that anyone could have made. Also, one of the worst books anyone could have ever written. So false.

[giselle]

I'm looking forward to the

The DaVinci Code
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
You, Me and Dupree
Superman Returns

and coming soon, though are not summer movies:
Silent Hill
Hard Candy
and American Dreamz.

i totally agree!

but i want to see dead mans chest and the bench warmmers and superman returns :)

[ChildOfAslan7]

anybody going to see Ice Age 2 this weekend?

[giselle]

anybody going to see Ice Age 2 this weekend?

Moi!!!!

I'll try to go this Friday to see it, if not, I'm defenitely going on Saturday. I can't miss it, I loved the first one.

I am a little girls trapped in the body of an 18-year-old woman, so I can't wait to see Ice Ace 2 :D :D

I love Sid!!! LOL

Giselle

[ChildOfAslan7]

i agree! heehee. I thought Ice Age was very entertaining.

[Narniabeaver2005]

I'm going to see Ice Age 2 too!
