Talking about the previews seen with HP4 had me looking over the list of upcoming releases. For the most part, color me unimpressed:
- From the Remakes We Don’t Need Department: Baywatch; The Pink Panther; The Blob; The Bomb (remake of “10”); Bride of Frankenstein; Bullitt; Dallas: The Movie; Damn Yankees (why remake this when you have the original with Gwen Verdon?); Devil and Daniel Webster; The Fall Guy; Father Knows Best (yes, with Tim Allen); The Fly; Footloose (why, oh why); Fun With Dick and Jane (I remember the original with Jane Fonda, again, why oh why); Get Smart; King Kong; Miami Vice; My Friend Flicka; Oh, God!; The Omen 666 (of course, if the government official is GHWB, this might be good); The Partridge Family; Pet Sematary; The Secret Life of Walter Mitty; The Shaggy Dog; When Worlds Collide; Yours, Mine and Ours
- From the Going Back to the Well Department: American Pie Presents Band Camp; Basic Intinct 2: Risk Addiction; The Bourne Ultimatum; The Butterfly Effect 2; Cheaper by the Dozen 2; Daddy Day Camp; Daredevil 2; Deep Blue Sea 2; Die Hard 4.0; Easy Rider A.D.; Fahrenheit 9/11 ½; First Wives Club 2; Garfield 2; Gladiator 2; Ice Age 2: The Meltdown; Indiana Jones 4; Mission: Impossible 3; Old School 2; The Passion of the Clerks; Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest; Police Academy 8; Rambo 4; Return of the Living Dead 4; Rocky VI; Rush Hour 3; The Santa Clause 3; Shrek 3; Spider-Man 3; Toy Story 3; True Lies 2 (perhaps they know he won’t be reelected); WarGames 2: The Dead Key
- From the What Were They Drinking Department: Britney Baby, One More Time; Girls Gone Wild; The Jetsons; Major Movie Star; Transformers
So what do I want to see? Cars; Dreamgirls; Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix; Pippin; The Producers; Rent. Not that much out of the whole crop.
