Happy Days Are Here Again!

Or will be soon.

I am talking about Hollywood releases. After an abysmal year, a year so bad that I have not even gone through the Oscar nominee list, we have some promising releases ahead.


Here are the current must-watch on my list.

1. Eight Below
I knew I would not be able to pass this when I saw the trailer the first time. I watched an extended trailer on HD the other day and I am sure that we will watch this the first weekend.

2. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.
Yes, we WILL be the first in line.

3. Cars
No waiting in line but I will be refreshing ticketmaster every five minutes for this.

4. Ice Age 2
I missed the first one in theatres. We have the DVD though. I owe it to them.

5. Da Vinci Code
Some aspects of the book were predictable but the movie looks good.

6. Superman Returns
For old times' sake.

7. Monster house
Not much info available on this, but I liked the trailer. Decent graphics and a little action oriented. Looks promising and definitely worth considering for a "is there anything good in theatres?" afternoon.

8. Open Season
Watch out for this one. This one has very good animation and looked pretty funny. Fall 2006 release, if some other blockbuster does not manage to push it further.


Wait for DVD:
Click, Pulse, Snakes on a plane, Fast and the furious (just to get a kick from the HT).

I am sure there are quite a few more but will write about them some other day.
