Origins: Wolverine *should* be over the top, in my opinion. He's the best there is at what he does, and it's his origin story! What were you expecting, Wolverine and Sabretooth to sit down to tea and crumpets?
Don't believe the reviews. Go watch it yourself. For that matter, have you seen Watchman yet? It made me happy. And you should see Terminator 3 if you haven't yet. It's not as good as the first two, but still watchable.
I haven't seen Watchmen. Want to. Looking forward to it. Haven't seen Terminator 3. Not sure if I watched T2 all the way through. But my baseline for "watchable" has grown higher over the years. Too much to do!
"tea and crumpets" would be even more over the top ;) But I'll give it another think.
terminator salvation looks amazing. I love the stunt work at the beginning (with the motorcycle). I almost want to see the previous terminator movie to catch up on the story. ((but there's always wikipedia for that, right?))
If you've not seen it, you *have* to watch T1. T2 was good, and T3 is almost worth the time to read the Wikipedia entry for, but read it anyway.
T1 I've seen--possibly two or three times at this point. I have a surprisingly clear memory of it. I remember T2 annoying me at multiple points but I probably enjoyed it overall. T3 I don't remember... yeah, must not have seen. I'm now caught up via wikipedia :hehe:
I've seen a few of Jarmusch's films. I absolutely loved Dead Man, but some of his others kind of fell flat for me. The Limits of Control does look intriguing. Thanks for the link to the preview. His stuff generally doesn't get much press.
D-9 looks cool.
I will probably pass on the GI-Joe and Transformer movies unless I'm watching them with my boys.
...but you didn't mention the remakes of "Footloose" or "The Karate Kid" in the works. How could you leave those off?
Dead Man was my introduction to Jarmusch, and, any time I remember, it goes on my top movies of all time. I also liked Ghost Dog a fair amount, but might not as much in retrospect. Down by Law I really enjoyed. I _think_ I saw Stranger than Paradise, but I'm not sure of it--and if I did, I don't think I was conscious enough to watch it.
I'd managed to forget about the The Karate Kid remake--didn't even know about the Footloose one. This all started on MySpace's trailers page, and there weren't a lot of them. :) I skipped two or three I wasn't up to even mentioning... (or that there wasn't enough material to form an opinion).
