With a new year here, I thought it'd be fun to look at the films coming our way in the next 12 months and see what we're looking forward/ dreading like syphillis.
Here's mine from a quick cursory look at 2008 films...
(As ever, these are just the higher profile films that I currently know of. I'm sure there'll be a stack of smaller films that surprise and impress along the way. Any suggestions on anything else to look out for welcome  )
Not looking forward to:
Ace Ventura 3 (after Son of The Mask and Dumb & Dumberer, you think they'd learn)
Little Fockers
Saw V
Scary Movie 5
Starship Dave (could potentially be Pluto Nash 2)
Untitled Brett Ratner Project (sounds bad, even before I knew Eddie Murphy was in it)
Looking forward to:
The Bucket List
Burn After Reading
Charlie Wilson's War
The Dark Knight
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Jumper
Kung Fu Hustle 2
Righteous Kill
Valkyrie
WALL-E |

Bloody hell- I didn't realize that was out this year! Consider it very much added to my list  |

I'm intrigued by, but also very apprehensive about JJ Abrams' "Star Trek." But who am I kidding? I'll probably see it opening night.
Based on LOST, I'm salivating. He's the action/mystery Joss Whedon.
[EDIT: And I'm no ST geek: all I know on TV is the original 79 Jewels, and I quit watching the movies -- even on home video -- after #6.] |

"Land of the Lost."
Will Ferrell, extending his range. Again.  |

I'm hoping for a cool Trixie, myself. Speed was always such a hot-head, always pushing his buttons.
according to imdb, Christina Ricci is playing Trixie in "Speed Racer". does that mean there's a chance Trixie will rip her clothes off and attack somebody like in "Black Snake Moan?" 
to borrow a line from "Sin City": Skinny little Wednesday Addams. She grew up. She filled out. |

Good call- this thread has gone a smidgeon off topic

There is a wonderful book written by Natan Eviezer, a respected physicist at Bar-Ilan University in Israel called In the Beginning. The book details all of the similarities between the current scientific understanding of the creation of the universe and the evolution of life on Earth and the account in the first couple of chapters of Genesis. Eviezer is an orthodox Jew, but that doesn't get in his way when it comes to critical thinking and he is clearly scientifically literate. His book does not directly make the claim that the God of Abraham created the universe and molded Adam out of earth. In fact, he explicitly denies the literal truth of the Genesis story. He just finds himself in awe of how close the Genesis story follows the timeline of events modern science has come to. I'm sure Eviezer himself would admit that correlation does not equal causation and that his faith in the God of Abraham is independent of his scientific and critical understanding of the universe, but it is an interesting perspective from an expert in the field. |

But to teach kids that the earth is 8,000 years old, or was created in six 24-hour periods? In science class? I'd be suing somebody too.
Whatever way you look at it, it's hard to see a loving God in the Darwinist model. And he certainly won't be coming down your chimney on Christmas Eve!
Holy guacamole, that guy was God? [He certainly was on past Christmas Eves! ] |

That's an interesting point. My church seems to have a problem with anyone who questions their teachings, which has caused me plenty of problems. They see even teaching evolution as questioning their religion ("It says RIGHT HERE that god created Adam in his image, he certainly didn't come from an APE." etc. etc.) Look at the uproar brought about by the Da Vinci Code, for example.
I would hope that God would enjoy and encourage our curious nature, after all, that's what she created, right? |
