The next big blockbusters…?

So we should be expecting a few big hollywood blockbusters to hit our cinema screens very soon. There’s the “Sex and the City” movie, “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian”, and of course, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”.

I’m wondering what exactly to expect, and if I should actually bother visiting the cinema to view any of these movies…

Firstly, “Sex and the City“. I mean, will it really work in a feature-length movie format?

Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy the series from time to time, however I wasn’t one of those die-hard fans who could recite every line and knew the plot of every episode. The only episode I actually remember was when the girls went to a tantric workshop led by a husband and wife duo. The wife was demonstrating her techniques on her husband’s manhood, when all of a sudden, he was…. finished… and a big wad landed on one of the girls’ faces. I remember it because it was hilarious and I have not seen anything like that on an American series before. Brilliant.

But, back to the movie. Unless they can absolutely fill it with funny, and I actually mean really funny, not just chuckle-tastic, sitcom laughs, then I might enjoy it.

I will be sure to post a review if I manage it. Until then, check out the trailer….

Now, onto “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian“.

You know, I was actually impressed with the first installment of this wonderful story. I would have loved to have seen Anjelica Huston as the nasty queen, but then, that’s just a personal preference and idea that I formulated in my head when they originally announced the film was being made.

But, moving along. How could one not be interested in seeing how this story is translated onto the big screen? I just hope they honour the story that C.S. Lewis’ was so kind to share with the world and don’t go changing things too much.

I’m pretty sure you’ll be seeing a review of this one.

Again, the trailer…

Finally, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the…” what was it again? Oh, the “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull“.

Now, just like all other Indiana Jones movies, the title is hard to remember at first. I’m sure in no time, everyone will have it memorised like it was never an issue.

I used to LOVE Indiana Jones movies. My only hesitation is it will ruin the fond memories I have of the original three films and… is Harrison Ford ok to play this character again? Not that I’ve been keeping tabs on old Harrison for a few years, but I wouldn’t have thought he’d be up to it.

But, fair play to him.

I’m going to sit back and wait a bit before running off to see this one. The first few reviews will decide if I go to the cinema or wait for it to come out on DVD.
