so much to see, so little time
To make up for the agonizingly long months of lackluster offerings, there are SO MANY movies recently released or about to be released that I CANNOT WAIT to see! Here is a sampling:
X-Files: I Want To Believe (you KNOW this has to be on the top of my list!!)
HellBoy II: The Golden Army (yeah... i don't have high expectations based on the first one, but i gotta see it)
The Dark Knight (AW YEAH, BABY!! although it will be bittersweet to see this one)
Hancock (haven't seen it yet--very much looking forward to seeing it)
Gunnin' For That #1 Spot (directed by adam yauch, yo!)
A Man Named Pearl (wow--this story captured my heart when i first read about it some time ago)
Step Brothers (i almost cried i laughed so hard watching the trailer!)
Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (wow, super interesting documentary)
Man On Wire (can you tell i have a thing for documentaries?)
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (yeah... ya gotta like the mummy)
Tropic Thunder (are you kidding me?!?? hilarious!)
The Outlander (it's about time we had a viking movie, right?)
What Just Happened? (oh. my. goodness. uncle bobby is back!)
The Wackness (second movie release for method man in one year--impressive)
And I suppose I'm also looking forward to Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, The Clone Wars and Harold--guilty pleasures.
I have already seen a handful of super movies, too: Get Smart (loved it), Wanted (kicked ass!), The Rocker (advance screening - laughed my ass off! - go see it when it comes out next month!), Iron Man (saw it twice), The Love Guru (classic mike myers), and Sex And The City--opening night, baby! Midnight screening! It was absolutely FABULOUS!!
And can I just say how awesome it is that there are so many superhero/comic strip character movies coming out within the next year? Yes. It is.
Anyway. I'm psyched. That's all. I think I shall go see a movie tonight!

Woohoo!! Yeah! I've been really surprised by just how many great movies are coming out lately. I'll be seeing a double feature of Hellboy/Dark Knight tomorrow knight...er...night. And I'll be seeing Wall-E on Saturday. And yeah. Of the ones you've mentioned, "Man Named Pearl" looks particularly intriguing. The preview pretty much blew my mind.

Deee-lara -- you can't forget Mamma Mia! I know how much you like your musicals. Oh. Wait. That's me. But it really is supposed to be great! Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan singing ABBA songs. Can't beat that. And it starts TOMORROW! Dark Knight one day. Mamma Mia the next. A fully balanced weekend. Smiles.

I'm jealous -- see a couple in my name...we still have about a year to go before the movies (actually at the theater) are an option again!
sigh -- I still haven't even seen Sex in the City!!!
