What movies are you looking forward to in the weeks after Star Wars.

Especially for the person who is sick of Star Wars threads.

Lots of different choices for everyone.

A nice mix.

May 27

The Longest Yard - looking forward to this - just for remembering the older version
Madagascar - is this going to be one of those special animated ones

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

********************************************

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.)

I don't think the boxing factor turned many women off of Million Dollar Baby. I know it was *about* a woman, but...still.

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

Hopefully the movie comes together better than the trailer looks right now > Longest Yard.

Nothing was really cut, nothing major anyways. Most of the hard gore is still in the film. Even though I've seen HIGH TENSION, it's definetely the most interesting out of all of them.

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.

I think Cinderella Man looks like it is going to tank. What a silly film to release during the summer and the trailer looks abyssmal....

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:

Madagascar, The Longest Yard, and Cinderella Man

Those are probably my first three but I really hope Madagascar is worthy.

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.
