Movie Trailers

I thought this would be a fun topic to start since the summer movies are coming out soon.

I just watched this trailer and it scared the hell out of me. I'm going to have to watch something cute and fluffy between now and bedtime to keep from having nightmares.

The Strangers

And here's The Happening with Mark Wahlberg. Melanie and I were just talking about this today since they filmed it around where we live.

The Happening

If anyone has Quicktime on their computers, this is a cool site to see movie trailers:

Along with The Happening, I'm especially looking forward to seeing the following movies in theaters:

Iron Man

Indiana Jones


Others that look interesting to rent:

Mamma Mia!

Blindsight

Get Smart

Wanted: Choose Your Destiny

Wall-E

Planet B-Boy

Baby Mama

I really want to see The Dark Knight.

Yeah, it looks really eerie. I know that I'll be sad while watching it, knowing that Heath is gone. From the previews, it looks like he did an amazing job playing the Joker.

The Dark Night is going to be a tough one to watch, but I can't wait to see it. I think they did a terrific job with the first one. I read on Rotten Tomatoes that the new one is rumored to be 3 hours long.

3 hours??? Wow. I'll definitely be renting that one.

Three hours of Christian Bale and Heath Ledger. Oh hell yes!

Thank God that Katie Holmes is not going to be in this one. Her presence was the only low point in the previous film.

Ever since Katie became TomKat, she has been very strange. She was okay in Batman Begins, but like you, I'm glad she is not in this one. She looked like she was on drugs during the interviews for her latest flop, Mad Money. She was all bug-eyed & looking like she was paranoid.

I'm convinced Katie has been replaced by a robot that is run on a battery pack.

Lara and I are convinced that Tom Cruise has corrupted her mind ... just as he's corrupted everything else. She was fine before she was with him. She's like the John Lennon to his Yoko ... in a really twisted way, lol.

Peace,
Queen Jane

I think Tom Cruise has ruined Katie, too.

I still like Tom in movies like Legend and The Last Samurai. Maybe I'm the only person who liked The Last Samurai? The other day some guys were slamming it with things like it was the worst movie ever. They obviously lead a sheltered existence when it comes to the world of movies.

I haven't seen The Last Samurai but I've heard that it was pretty good. I can't stand Tom Cruise as a person because he seems so condescending to everyone that questions Scientology. As an actor, however, he's still one of the best. Did anyone else really like War of the Worlds? I really enjoyed it.

As for movies that I'm looking forward to ... The Dark Knight is first and foremost. Batman has always been my favorite superhero and I lovelovelove Batman Begins.

I'm also really looking forward to Revolutionary Road, pretty much only because it's Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet and I'm all about those two acting together again. There's nothing else that's really standing out to me right now, though.

You know, I liked it too. And I was REALLY skeptical. Not just because of Tom Cruise (not a fan), but because the 1953 version is so mindblowing. When you look at the effects in that, and remember when it was made, it's amazing. The Star Wars of its time, effects wise. So I didn't think it needed redone, the original is perfect. What I liked about the new version is that it really paid homage to the '53 version. They could have totally revamped the "walking spaceship" things, but they kept them, making them scarier and more awesome because they obviously had better special effects technology. It went farther than the original, and I thought it captured the chaos really well. I didn't expect to, but I enjoyed it, too. Tom Cruise was fine in it, but I think it would have done better if they'd cast someone else.

Yes, I really enjoyed The Last Samurai. I'm a sucker for those kind of movies. I also liked Legend, as well as Top Gun (especially for the "volleyball scene" ), The Outsiders (though I didn't care for his acting in that movie), Rain Man, Far and Away, A Few Good Men (he did a great Jack Nicholson imitation in that movie), Interview With A Vampire, Minority Report, and Mission Impossible III.

My absolute favorite Tom Cruise movie is Jerry Maguire.
