HOLY S**T - I just saw the 2 BEST FREAKIN FLICKS OF THE SUMMER!


As I am under a confidentiality clause with both studios preventing from reviewing in detail either of these 2 movies...

I will tell you that by far.... These will BLOW you away...

I was very impressed with X-Men 2.... Creeped out by 28 Days and walloped by T3..... but nothing prepared me for these 2 and I had the pleasure of see both today....

Get ready for 2 of the most entertaining and impressive films (popcorn Summer fare).... so far this Summer....

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN and LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY MEN!

WOW... I ain't gonna be able to sleep tonight...

I certainly hope our tastes are compatible Chris, because I very much want to like these movies. Now fess up, how did you get to watch'em so early?

Holadem....

My job is that of programing movie theatres with product.

Exhibitor screenings were today on these 2 films and Bad Boys 2 follows tomorrow...

As for T3... I was very impressed with the story arc that unfolded.

It meshed with the Cameron concept very well... Never feeling like the writers had to bend the facts of the earlier story lines to get this one to fit.

Acting performances were dead on. Arnold looks just as good as he did in T2 and although the film clocks in ay 109m, it never makes you feel cheated. As the end of the film certainly offers up the sequel possibilities.... It not the ending one would expect and the writers must be given credit for not just "phoning it in".....

Like a claimed before... If you in to "Summer" popcorn fare... these films were excellent...

From the trailers I definitely had very good first impressions, and its good to here that they have a great chance of living up to expectations.

Great to hear Chris! Nice job.

Don't forget to let us know what you thought of BB2!

I've always thought the trailers for Pirates of the Carribean made it look like a good one, but I've been very underwhelmed so far by trailers for League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I hope that your tastes rub off on me.

Well I've been saying for some time that I thought Pirates was looking very good and they have been selling the film better and better with each round of trailers/TV Spots. It's my pick for surprise hit of the summer.

Now League has been through much discussed turmoil and our own Tino has had a source very close to the project to get many of the details and worries from that production. However, League wouldn't be the first production to have problems that didn't flop and the last few rounds of TV Spots have sold the film much better.

Certainly League has the potential to be a strong character piece (group of interesting characters I mean) and Tino's review of the script had me sold. I would have read it myself but I already have myself penciled in for opening weekend and didn't want to ruin that experience by reading the script first.


So of all your news, to me the fact that you really liked T3 comes as the biggest surprise.

Guess I need to go to the BO thread and makes some "quality of product" adjustments.
