The
Incredibles
Superheroes.
Imagine
a family of superheroes long since retired from saving the world
and are now brought back into action.
This
is a great new family comedy from Pixar Animation who gave us Toy
Story, Monsters Inc. and Finding Nemo.
Animated
in the same 3D CGI style as those earlier classics.
You
have to go and see this one. I'm just glad for the greater exposure
of the superhero genre to the world, but that's just me!
Go see! |

Master
& Commander
Set
in the 19th century when big ships ruled the waves and naval power
was all.
This
is a tale of a cat and mouse chase between British and French warships
for the command of the sea.
A
test for the captains, Russell Crowe plays the British captain and
leads an excellent cast in this absorbing adventure story.
The
period costumes and ships are designed so well you'd think you were
there! Getting soaked!
Watch
this movie! |

Harry
Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban
A
very British blockbuster.
This
third in the series is the best one yet and easily surpasses the
average first two installments for quality and mood.
Set
in Britain and starring some of our finest acting talent, this is
what I want to see more of.
Ambitious
fantasy and science fiction done well.
Watch
out Harry!
Pure
gold! |

Blade:
Trinity
The
final chapter of the trilogy.
This
is the franchise that re-started the ball rolling for all current
successful comic book based movies!
A
Marvel Comics character. Wesley Snipes is the man, playing Blade
the Vampire Hunter.
Half
man, half vampire, hunting the blood suckers who feed off the human
race. These films have been refreshing and packed with excitement,
action and killer special effects.
If
you haven't seen the first two, check them them out. Blade: Trinity
will be a smash! |
|

Fantastic
Four
Based
on the comic book title that began the Marvel Comics revolution.
Four
people gain fantastic powers in a scientific accident and the world
is never the same!
With
special effects now able to realize the original concepts, I promise
you this will be a major movie and a visual feast!
Just
wait 'til you first meet the elastic Mr. Fantastic! The monstrous
Thing! The Invisible Woman and the Human Torch! You won't forget
them in a hurry!

conceived by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. |

Quite
simply, this will be one of the spectacles of the year.
On
a scale not seen since Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings adaptations.
Taken
from the ancient Greek myth of the Trojan War. The war that began
for the love of one woman. If you must see one film in the cinema,
make it this one!
Don't
wait for the DVD. Trust me, this needs to be experienced on the
big screen!
With
a cast that reads like a who's who of the great and the good in
cinema, Brad Pitt, Peter O'Toole, Orlando Bloom and Eric Bana. |

Kate (from the movie Underworld) Beckingsale and his partner.

to be a lot of fun. Watch it. |

Elektra
First seen in the Daredevil movie this is the origin tale of the
martial arts mistress and trained assassin.
Created
by comic book talent and legend Frank Miller, this will show the
evolution of this irresistible character.
Played
by Jennifer Garner I was impressed by her role in Daredevil and
this film will fill out her character even more.
With
some crazy fighting sequences this will be one to see. |
|
 |
Kill
Bill, Parts 1 & 2
The
Bride.
She's
looking to... Kill Bill!
Fused
with some Japanese anime inspired set pieces, this is a joy to behold.
Directed
by Quentin Tarantino, yes that Tarantino of Reservoir Dogs, Pulp
Fiction and the quality, Jackie Brown. Starring Uma Thurman, Vivica
A Fox, Lucy Liu, Darryl Hannah and David Carradine to name a few,
these films will be hot.
The
fight scenes are choreographed the legendary Yuen Wo Ping, who worked
on the Matrix Trilogy and are truly awesome. Check it out! |

Wars: Revenge of the Sith
A long wait but this will be the final part of the first trilogy.
The
one which links both trilogies.
We
will see the origin of Darth Vader, one of the most memorable screen
villains of all time!
For

that you will never forget.
A
battle against impossible odds! A romance! And spectacular action
sequences mixing ancient mythology with science-fiction. |

Pirates
of the Caribbean
Ho,
ho, ho and a bottle of rum.
A
fun romp featuring Aztec gold, supernatural pirates, sword fights,
mad heroics and a historical setting.
I'm
a sucker for period dramas anyway.
Johnny
Depp's character, "I'm Captain Jack Sparrow!", is just
plain mad!
Very
enjoyable.
Also

The
Matrix Revolutions
What
can I say?
The
final chapter.
The
film that broke the mould with ground-breaking special effects and
set a new standard in action sci-fi movies!
The
final fates of Neo, Morpheus, Trinity and the last city of Zion
hanging in the balance.
It's
man versus machine!
Or
should that be, versus Agent Smith...?! |

Lord
of the Rings: Return of the King
Quite
simply, the end of the greatest fantasy epic of all time!
Swords
and sorcery at it's best.

adaptation directed by Peter Jackson is a work of art that needs
to be experienced on the big screen.
You
must see it! |

Hellboy
Originally a comic book by Mike Mignola, this is a dark tale which
will need to be seen to be believed.
A
demon is summoned by the forces of evil but is recruited by the
Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defence and now fights for good.
Great
CGI special effects and a good adaptation of the comic book. |
|
 |
The
Punisher
Marvel Comics' self made vigilante waging a one man war against
the people who killed his family.
Starring
Thomas Jane and John Travolta this will be compared with Kill Bill
for the violence quotient.
Borrowing
heavily from the Punisher comic book by writer Garth Ennis and artist
Steve Dillon, the skull on the chest will be a memorable image.
Don't
mess with him! |

it like Beckham
This
is a fantastic feel-good British comedy that you will love.
