Movies!
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: Month of May Movies
Topic: Review Time
I saw "The Sentinel" on Friday. This movie stars Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland. Its a pretty good movie and has a couple of good action scenes. I give it a b+.

I know I said I was going to do a blog on remakes and whether or not they are better than the originals. I got kinda caught up in work so I haven't that yet, so instead there is this: Movies in May!

Movies I don't want to see-

Mission Impossible Three: I liked the first MI but the second one I saw although barely remember what happened. That cannot be a good sign. Plus all this Tom Cruise nonsense is causing me to steer clear of it. It has recent Oscar winner Phillip Seymour Hoffman in it, but the only thing I think of when I see him in the trailer is "Tommy Cruise is being menaced by Truman Capote". I'm afraid I won't be able to see the movie without giggling over THAT prospect. Ving Rhames is also in it, but of course he was in the other two (including the one I don't remember).

Da Vinci Code Movie: The other Tom this month is Tom Hanks in the movie adaptation of the book I haven't read. Didn't care about reading the book, care even less about the movie. Already I feel like this is going to be more overexposed and overrated than a certain cowboy movie that came out last year.

If anything, those movies I will wait till they come out on video.

Movies I am Seeing:

Poseidon: There was a remake of the famous seventies diaster flick The Poseidon Adventure on tv sometime in the last year. This is the big screen version. So far it has what the little screen doesn't: Kurt Russell and Richard Dreyfuss (and on a bigger boat too). The trailer is what pulled me in, plus you can try and guess who might be the first to die in some stupid yet perilous way. The original flick is one of my all time favorite flicks (and there is a list, too long to actually list here) so they better not screw it up.

X-men 3 movie: I saw the first two and loved them. I can hardly wait to see what is next for the collective of mutants in this series. No idea if its the last one, but we shall see.
