it's been a while.. might as well post some of my "want to see movies of 2007". As well as my opinion on some that should have just stayed in the can. So here goes nothing.......
I like the odd stupid comedy. But what I like even more than that is stupid comedy that makes references to movies that I've seen and like. Take Scary Movie 4 (two writers from that series did this movie) for example.. The Saw bit at the start with Dr. Phil and Shaq, and the War of the Worlds running gag.. I loved it. This movie takes X-Men, Nacho Libre, Snakes on a Plane, among many other movies... does it get better?
I'm a sucker for sequals (even if they're bad)... But I'm a sucker for them because I love seeing the characters come back and reprise a role. But come on - we dont need another story about Hannibal - If he's not even being played by Anthony Hopkins! Geeze... This movie is a prequel... But the Silence of the Lambs series has already had a prequel (Red Dragon), so in actuality, this is a prequel of a prequel. I think Hollywood has hit a new low.
This movie seems too good to be true. IMDB says it's a nice "boy-and-his-dog type movie for adults that will rip your heart out". Doesn't that say it all?
Ninja Turtles back? LOVE IT!!! back as CGI? eeh... I'm sure it'll be ok. I loved the live action movies as a kid - still do.. but just to see them back will be fun I think..
