New Movies.

[The Conquistador]

I just saw the trailer for the new Sherlock Holmes movie. It looks like it would be a good one. Robert Downey Jr. plays as Sherlock and Jude Law is playing as "my dear Watson".

Any thoughts?

Could be good as long as they keep them in the 1800s and not put them in modern day London

Yes it is set in the 1800's.

Then it may be pretty good as Holmes wotks best when he's set in the time he was created, Every time they try to mordenize him it screws everything up

Yes both are fine actors, but I will say that I am having trouble seeing Jude as Dr. Watson. Well, we shall see, won't we? LOL If I can buy into Downey being a black soldier in Nam, then who knows what's possible. I'll admit that it took quite a while for me to recognize Robert in that role.

Has anyone seen "District 9"? The sci-fi movie produced (but not directed by) Peter Jackson....
Just wondering if its any good.

Hi there.

Saw Transformers 2 liked it better than the first, but there is 1 thing i didn't like; JETFIRE, i still have "him" from years ago, and he WASN'T a SR71 Blackbird, but isn't i great when the two gutsyest ones in the movie are also the youngest and dating eachother?

Did you recognize Tom Cruise in that film? The guy dancing to hip hop, I couldn't believe my eyes... Tom Cruise is always the ladies pretty boy, how did he end up in that role? LOL

I didn't realise it was him until about ¾ of the way through, then realised because of his voice

I'm currently looking forward to seeing Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Sherlock Holmes, A Nightmare on Elm St and maybe Toy Story 3.

Helena Bonham Carter plays the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland. Alice is played by a girl named Mia Wasikowska.

I wonder if thats the one released as "Pirate Radio" here in the states?
(ship that broadcasts rock music into Britain in the early 1960's when it was banned)
Haven't seen it yet, but it looks good.

2012 sucked predictably.
I am looking forward to "Avatar". "Alice" sounds good, but I hope they don't remake it like Depp's "Willy Wonka". That was pretty bad.

The trailer for the remake of Clash of the Titans looks interesting..

Went to see 2012 the other night with my new ladyfriend and saw an incredible trailer for Avatar. Looks like a winner!

Here is a review of the "World Premiere":

I love the new Star Trek movie, it's a good Trekkie movie all around. Some people may complain that it got a few elements of Star Wars added into it, but I disagree, apart from perhaps the fighting scene with the guy from Harold and Kumars.

The effects are great, and the story is awesome, if you ever liked Star Trek before you won't be disappointed. If you don't like Sci-Fi, you might even still like this movie, as they seriously reduced the slow science infested babble scenes found in previous Trek ventures, and added way more action.

Although you get the sense that they were trying to appease to a younger audience when they made this film, perhaps trying to get this new generation of knuckle heads into Sci-Fi.

Oh, I seriously recommend watching the movie!!

I saw "Sherlock Holmes" the day after Christmas. It is thoroughly enjoyable. Robert Downey Jr.'s Holmes is a wise-cracking, sometimes self-loathing, co-dependent who cannot do without Watson. Jude Law's Watson is self-assured, brave, and strong. The sequences where Holmes explains, in slow motion, how he will accomplish something -- and then does it at real speed -- are very cool. And the way the movie works in Holmes' arch-nemesis is quite clever.

Highly recommended.

I saw Avatar in 3-d, it was absolutely amazing! Though I wish I had gotten there earlier... I had a bad seat

[km1]

I saw Avatar recently, and while it looked amazing the plot was pretty weak and predictable and there wasn't much to the characters. Cameron spends all this time and effort on making the movie look amazing he completely forgot to write a script. Why didn't he just hire someone else to go over his version and give it some life? Instead we get a movie which seems to be only an excuse to showcase all the visuals.

Avatar was pretty much Pocahontas in 3D but way cooler!

[EdwardSinclair]

I am really glad that 2009 was a good year for movies... at least for me. It's been a long time since I have seen so many good films in one year alone. I can't even believe 2009 had the revival of star-trek, that's too much sci-fi in one year... I am so jubilant!!

I did watch Avatar when it came out, and went to see it again yesterday, and I was surprised that the movie theater was still full, and I got an ever worse seat than last time...
If this film was indeed expensive, I'm sure they've covered the expenses in ticket sales alone. I have to say I have seen the movie in two different countries, and in two very different continents and the room was still full over a month later. I recommend Avatar, but make sure your cinema has the 3D version.

Also watched Sherlock Holmes, and Downing nailed that role as Sherlock.. nuff said!! I hugely recommend this film, it has a clever twist and I enjoyed it.
