The Longest Yard - looking forward to this - just for remembering the older version

June 3
Cinderella Man - looking forward to this boxing / period piece.
High Tension - don't mess with that woman
Lords of Dogtown - skateboard indies go Hollywood
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - teenagers chick flick
********************************************
So what do you think?
May 27
The Longest Yard:
Madagascar:
June 3

Is anyone else concerned that Cinderella Man seem like too much of a knock off of Seabiscuit?
It seems like the exact same story. Underdog sports figure (horse, boxer), set during the Great Depression, achieves unexpected success and uplifts the nation.
True, Cinderella Man has Howard, Crowe and Zellweger, and that is an advantage over Seabiscuit. However, the fact that it's about boxing, as a subject, is going to automatically turn many women off. (I'm one of them. Horse racing, I'm OK. Boxing, not so much.)

It's true that it does look a lot like Seabiscuit, but this is also a true story.

The Longest Yard -- I'll be there opening day. It looks pretty good. Hopefully it won't be something like Mr. Deeds.
Madagascar -- I'll definetly see this sometime in theaters. It looks pretty good.
June 3
Cinderella Man -- Same as above
High Tension -- I do not know a damn thing about this movie. It'll probably be a rental sometime down the road.
Lords of Dogtown -- It looks okay, but nothing more than a rental.
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants -- It looks awful, but it's not my type of movie.

Counter-programming for the older movie-goers / Russell Crowe & Renee Z fans - maybe?

The Longest Yard - Not to crazy about the tv spots or trailer. Might wait for the dvd release.
Madagascar - Definitely seeing this. The tv spots are hysterical.
Cinderella Man - Not my kind of movie.
High Tension - Looks great, and I love horror movies, so I'm going to love this.
Lords of Dogtown - Not my kind of movie.
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - Look really good. I'm definitely seeing this one.

Only movie I'm looking a bit forward to is The Longest Yard. Don't know why but Cinderella Man doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. Maybe because of Zellweeger. I hate her. Can't stand this face. :razz:

I am not thrilled at the voices
David Schimmer
Ben Stiller
Jada Smith
and even
Chris Rock - he hasn't hit a home run in awhile. And I guess he has 2 movies opening on the same day with TLY and Mad. Must be a nice pay day, at least.
