Ones to watch in 06

Here is a quick list of the films that have release dates so far for 06 that I am most looking forward to

January
Brokeback Mountain - Ang Lee's new Film
Match Point - new Woody Allen
Jarhead - Sam Mendes's new film about the Gulf war
Underworld: Evolution - I am a sucker for vampire flicks
Shopgirl - Steve Martins latest
Munich - Spielberg latest been getting rave reviews
The New World - new Terence Malik

February
Walk the Line - Johnny Cash biopic
Aeon Flux - supposedly crappy but I like the cartoons
Goodnight and Good Luck - George Clooneys second directors effort
Sympathy for Lady vengeance - Chan Wook Parks latest, just got my Korean 2-disc of this the other day and will watch as soon as I have my projector set back up

March
Syriana - Getting great reviews from the states, in my backwards logic I am avoiding finding out what its about as I prefer to see things blind rather than build an opinion before hand
V for Vendetta - I struggled to enjoy the graphic novel but word so far on the film has been great
Tenacious D movie - if its half as funny as their DVD it will be the best comedy of the year

April
Hostel - Eli Roths follow up to Cabin Fever which I thought was shit, however people who share this opinion say this is the exact opposite, the poster artwork I have seen is fantastic, severed heads and all

May
Mission Impossible III - directed this time by Alias and Lost creator JJ Abrahms, the teaser trailer looks excellent
The Da Vinci Code - enjoyed the book and the teaser trailer appears to have captured the mood well not sure about hanks though
The Ringer - Johnny Knoxville pretends to be disabled to rig the special Olympics
X-men 3 - could go either way, production has been full of problems and the release has been very rushed

June
Nothing

July
Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - Johnny Deep pretending to be Keith Richards, great
Superman Returns - current teaser is a bit under whelming, but Bryan Singer usually never fails to deliver
Cars - Pixars latest

August
Miami Vice - Should be cheesy brilliance
Nacho Libre - Jack Black plays a Mexican Luchadore(wrestler) should be hilarious
Sin City 2 - Three more stories from Frank Millers mind
Lady in the Water - M Night Shyamalan new film

September
Ghost Rider - comic book adaptation starring Nic Cage
High, Wide and Handsome - Nascar car comedy starring Will Ferrel and Sacha Baron cohen, may be renamed to Talladega Nights

October
Jackass 2 - didn't even know they were making this

November
Casino Royale - new bond

December
Deja Vu - new Tony Scot starring Denzel, this combo hasn't made a bad film yet

WTF's
apparently their has been such a demand that we will get the following this year
Big Mommas House 2
Final Destination 3
Basic Instinct 2 - I thought we saw everything last time, surely it can only be older and wrinklier
Scary Movie 4
Garfield 2
Santa Clause 3

List seems a bit short so I am sure I am missing stuff and there will hopefully be a few surprises over the year, I just wish there where more newer ideas appearing and fewer sequels

I remember watching the trailer for Bareback...Brokeback Mountain for the first time on Film 2005, before I knew what it was about. While they were still just riding horses and slapping each other's shoulders in manly ways I remember joking with The Girl. "Betcha they're going to get all experimental with each other up in the snow..."

In the very next clip, they were looking lovingly into each other's eyes.

A new Underworld? That should be a fun romp if nothing else. From the name alone I am supposing the following: Oooh, some new breed of supernatural being has evolved! Oooh! It threatens us all! Oooh! Let's form an unholy alliance of some sort, don our shiny black PVC suits and kick some ass!

The vampire genre has to die out soon. Please, Christ.
