Upcoming Movies

Corpse Bride (Tim Burton) - Halloween 2005 - Tim Burton returns to clay-mation, just as in "Nightmare Before Christmas", with a familiar voice as the main character. Who else, but Johnny Depp. I liked Nightmare, so this one should be good as well. Here's the trailer. Burton and Depp have another movie coming out later this year, based on the classic children's book, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (set for release July 15th, 3005), in which Johnny plays the role of Willy Wonka. I believe that this will be decent, as well, seeing as Tim Burton has yet to make a Horri-Bill worthy movie (unless you count Mars Attacks!), and same goes for Johnny Depp. Here's the trailer for CATCF.

Star Wars Episode III (George Lucas) - May 19th, 2005 - The epic saga concludes... or continues... The epic saga bridges the gap from the original trilogy to the second one. Star Wars geeks all over the world will cream in their pants, not matter how good or bad it is. Average movie-goers like myself should walk away satisfied. George Lucas is rumored to not care what kind of parental rating the movie gets. He just wants to tell the ultimate nerd story, and will kill as many aliens as it takes. Trailer.

Son of the Mask (Lawrence Guterman) - Feb. 18th, 2005 - What could be worse than the worst Jim Carrey movie ever? A sequel eleven years later. Starring Jamie Kennedy, known mostly for his roles in the "Scream" movies as the video store guy that gives the rules of horror movies. Jamie plays the dad whose infant son finds the Mask of Loki, the very one Jim Carrey found in the original Mask. Possible HB nominee? Trailer.

Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous (John Pasquin) - March 25, 2005 - crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap Sandra Bullock not doing pROn blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Trailer.

Fantastic 4 (Tim Story) - July 1st, 2005 - Five astronauts are in some kind of accident in space. "One will be bad... four will be... fantastic." Classic Marvel comic book movie. I think Marvel learned their lesson with Daredevil and Hulk, and to a lesser extent Elektra and Punisher, but who knows. Trailer.

Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny (Liam Lynch) - possible release date April 1st, 2005 - Any D or Jack Black fan will love this movie, no doubt. No trailer available. Also, Jack Black is breaking into the mainstream with Peter Jackson's King Kong, where Black will play the lead male role. Few details are available, other than the tentative release date of December 14th, 2005. No trailer available.

Batman Begins (Christopher Nolan) - June 17, 2005 - From the director that made "Memento", you get possibly the greatest comic book movie since the original "Batman". This is not the Batman you see in the comics, bringing bad guys to justice so they can stand trial for their crimes. This Batman isn't concerned with the law,all he wants is revenge for his murdered parents. This movie looks like it follows the evolution of Bruce Wayne on his way to becoming Batman, and his introduction into a crime-fighting vigilante. Teaser and trailer.

The Devil's Rejects (Rob Zombie) - August 12th, 2005 - Finally, a sequel to the smash hit "House of 1000 Corpses". Rob Zombie, stick to music and stay away from Hollywood. Please, no one go see this movie. If you do, you're just encouraging Zombie to keep making bad horror movies. Well, just about every horror movie is bad, but this one is guaranteed to stand out from the rest as especially shitty. Trailer.
