a plot. no obnoxious messages, such as a political or environmental agenda.

Something to justify my paying $9.00 per person for a ticket alone and then on average $8.00 per person for just popcorn, candy, and a soda...

Oh, and fsck the commercials. I hate that.

I would expect something good from 'The Fantastic Four', just because I read the Marvel comics a log time ago but the poster is so 'unpleasant'

Time will tell.

I'm expecting Catwoman and Garfield to be mammoth failures (along the lines of "Jason vs. Freddy" time failures)...no really, I don't think they will sell many of those things called "tickets"...

Next two must watch movies for me:

Spiderman 2 - trailers look good, though you can see the formula they are taking from Superman 2....Hero wishes for a normal life with the woman he loves, so he gives up being a superhero. Only to find that his sense of responsibility as a superhero, will keep him from ever living a normal life.

Ocean's 12 - Can't hardly wait for this one.

Everything I have already seen before but in a more shallower form with lots of special effects.

The only movies I'm looking forward to are Napolean Dynamite, Garden State, and Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle (). The movies that are coming out will probably just be mediocre plots with TONS of CG thrown in to wow the audience and shift the attention away from the gaping plot holes.

I got the impression from the Catwoman trailer that they had to work very hard to splice together something that wasn't laughable.

Yeah, even with the help of a naked Jennifer Love-Hewitt it wouldn't go anywhere...

Garden State could be good.

I'm not really expecting anything. As usual will wait until the DVD version is available.
