If I turn out to be wrong, all the better for moviegoers worldwide.

movies are our generations myths. we go to the movies all the time, we immerse ourselves in the story, as we do when we’re reading a good book…..or maybe that’s just me.

the day the earth stood still has a really special place in my soul. let’s just say that my father made me watch it when i was 13 and i thought it was going to be soooo booooring.

but it wasn’t and we watched it several more times.

i don’t mind the remake so long as more people will try watching the first version first before going to the one coming out now…..or maybe the theaters should run them both at the same time. i would love to see the old one on the big screen.

Doesn’t bode well…

And for some reason, everyone seems to have seen a “Watchmen” preview before “The Dark Knight” except me.

Not sure how I left that one out. Yeah, that trailer ruled, without even needing a line of dialogue. And I agree, I think it will shake up the genre in a much-needed way.

But yes, I’m with you on the other two as well. Christian Bale as John Connor? Badass.
