Snippitts of Illusions

movie geekiness

now for something completely different...
i missed most of the summer films, being in the hosipital and laid up for a little over a month made it hard to get out, and put a drain on my budget...
that being said my budget is still drained, but we're getting into the next big, and last movie rush of the year.

zathura: yeah i want to see this one bad, and i'm going to make a go of it, perhaps i'll stash a little cash away and go see it over the holiday weekend. i was a big fan of jumanji, and this looks like another fun little movie along those lines.

the legend of zorro: it won't be spectacular, and i'm not gunning for a life changing film, just some good rollicking fun.

harry potter and the goblet of fire: hey i'm a geek. i love the books, how am i not going to go see this film? there's a little more money stashed away i suppose.

aeon flux: ok this one could be total shite, i know, but i've got high hopes for it. i loved the cartoon (of which i think was just released on dvd) and though several plot points were changed, i'm still excited to see this.... i just hope they kept some of the surreal nature of the cartoon.

the chronicles of narnia: i was depressed when i went out and bought the extended edition of return of the king, i thought for certain that i had no fantasy films to look forward too for quite some time. well, i was dead wrong. the narnia trailer looks spectacular, and i can't wait to see it.

mrs. henderson presents: ok there are several movies i've not even mentioned that i'd like to see (memiors of a giesha, broke back mountain, the kid and i) some of these will probably not make it to logan and this is also one that probably won't make it to logan. but boy i sure hope so, as the idea of a movie about a racy theatre dance hall and it's all nude reviews really piques my interest. should be fun, just hope judy dench isn't naked.

king kong: oh man, i've known about this project for an age now, and strangely enough i've not gone seeking spoilers and know very little about this movie. that being said, i'm really excited to see it. with lord of the rings under his belt, i'm curious what peter jackson will have up his sleeve with this one. should be intense.
his movies always are.
