movie mania

i'm really excited about some movies coming out this month. first is the new X-men movie, X-men: The Last Stand. let me just say that this one looks promising because, unlike the first installment which should have been called X-man, this one has a veritable cornucopia of mutants. another movie i'm really excited to see is The Da Vinci Code. not only is it a star studded cast, but i love that most of the scenes were shot on location in European cathedrals and museums. this movie is probably as close as i will get to any non-American culture in a few years. plus, i'm a heathen. also, while i was browsing, i saw the trailer to the new Bond flick, Casino Royale, and it looks decent. i guess i shouldn't be so harsh on the new Bond. i mean, i think at one point in time i went so far as to say that the blond Sonic commercial guy would be a better Bond. and while i was adding links to these movies, i noticed that The Omen is being remade. it opens on 06-06-06 (hee hee.) i liked the cheesy visuals of the first so i'm not sure about this one, but i'll have an open mind for now. if there is no corny decapitation scene, though, i'll close it real fast.
