i'm ready to yack from all the remakes due out: wonka, amityville,
herbie the love bug, the bad news bears, war of the worlds, bewitched,
the pink panther... and on and on... some aren't total remakes, but
leverage stuff that's already been done.

sin city and kung fu look awesome. looking forward to those. also
looking forward to the hitchhiker's guide, jet li's "unleashed", and
despite the lackluster pre-reviews, the fantastic four.

regarding the xbox and movies, i saw yesterday that they actually
released a companion xbox game for the movie "constantine." did anybody
even see this flick? did anybody play the game? sheesh!

Constantine had mixed reviews but overall pretty low :

I wasn't that impressed with the game or the movie.

By the way Fizzle...

Similiarly disgusting or "yack-able" is Hollywood's new release of
movies already released in different countries. Kung Fu Hustle is
already on DVD in China with English subs :)

I highly anticipate the War of the Worlds. I think the only rendition was in
the 1950's with all those cheesy black-and-white special effects, so this
one is WAY overdue for a modern remake.

I have high hopes for this one also (War of the Worlds), the original
was okay for its time I guess. I have always loved the book and to get a
top notch version of a film of it would be awesome. Hope it turns out great.

The Willy Wonka remake is something I am interested in also. I love the
original, and in some ways am a little scared of them screwing it up. I
also though am a big fan of Tim Burton and I think if anyone could pull
this off and give it the dark-comedic edge that this film needs it would
be him.

Same here. The movie was made to be made when it was. The cheesy special
effects fit the movie perfectly. It is what one would expect from Willy
Wonka. Thankfully they have Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka, so that may be a
saving grace for it.

I saw Hero on release day here in the US and I must say these two have more
than fulfilled my Crouching Tiger fix. There is a new one out that is
supposed to be incredible about a Muy Thai boxer but I haven't found the
name yet.

hmmm..I'll have to keep an eye peeled for that one.. Have you seen Kung
Fu Hustle yet? Much more than a comedy in my opinion. It actually has an
engaging Tarantino-style story with the old school kung fu quirkiness;
the ax gang in it reminds me of the crazy 88.

The movie is "Ong Bak: the Thai Warrior" and it is great. The actor, Tony
Jaa, does all his own stunts and fights with no wires or computer
enhancement.

I thought Hero was overrated junk.

I was trying to sneak away to see it yesterday while my wife was at a baby
shower but she came home early. I will try today while she is at church.

I just saw some clips and then I heard there was no wire work and I was
