Exceedingly Mundane

I’m starting to see some really good previews for summer movies. I’ve been anxiously awaiting (as evidenced by the counter on the side of my blog) the last Star Wars movie, of course, but it looks like some other good ones are going to be coming out.

We saw a preview the other night for Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and that one, for whatever reason, didn’t appeal to me. Mr and Mrs Smith looks pretty good to me, but a big part of that could be because both Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are such eye candy! You can check out a trailer for that one here. We saw a blurb about War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise, and that one looked pretty good to me. I just went and looked, and found several trailers here. Looks pretty good! We love movies like this, end of the world, fighting aliens a la Independence Day 🙂

I was just blog-surfing, and found a preview for the new Batman movie, “Batman Begins”, and after seeing this trailer, I have to say that one looks pretty good too!

So, all in all, it might be a good summer for movies. Tim loves to go to the movies. Year round, but especially in the summer when it’s hot and he can sit inside full blast AC and watch a good movie! 🙂 And I, of course, love to go with him – because he’s a great date, he will hold my hand, buy me a coke and a huge tub of popcorn. What more could a girl ask for?! 😀

I found this while blog-surfing tonight – wow, I can remember hearing about this all the way back to the first one in 1977. Fans are already starting to line up for the last Star Wars set to premiere May 19!!

Read all about it here 😀

I read this article at MSNBC a few minutes ago; found a link to it on another blog I peruse. 🙂 You can click Here to read the whole thing for yourself. I’ll copy and paste the top 10 cheesiest movie lines here, in case you don’t want to follow the link. I chuckled at most of them, including the #1 “I’m the King of the World!” from Titanic. Chuckled, if you’re wondering, because we own the majority of these movies on DVD, and I’ve seen almost all of them. 🙂

By the way, the poll was done in Britain, I doubt the #3 in the United States would be from a movie I love “Four Weddings and a Funeral”, but I guess anything is possible!

1. “Titanic”: Leonardo DiCaprio’s “I’m the king of the world!”
2. “Dirty Dancing”: Patrick Swayze’s “Nobody puts Baby in the corner.”
3. “Four Weddings And A Funeral”: Andie McDowell’s “Is it still raining? I hadn’t noticed.”
4. “Ghost”: Demi Moore’s “Ditto,” to Patrick Swayze’s “I love you.”
5. “Top Gun”: Val Kilmer to Tom Cruise: “You can be my wingman anytime”
6. “Notting Hill”: Julia Roberts’ “I’m just a girl… standing in front of a boy… asking him to love her.”
7. “Independence Day”: Bill Pullman’s “Today we celebrate our Independence Day!”
8. “Braveheart”: Mel Gibson’s “They may take our lives, but they will not take our freedom!”
9. “Jerry Maguire”: Renee Zellweger to Tom Cruise: “You had me at hello.”
10. “The Postman”: A blind woman says to Kevin Costner: “You’re a godsend, a savior.” He replies: “No, I’m a postman.”

I just saw a trailer on TV for a new Disney movie coming out March 4 with Vin Diesel – The Pacifier. I hope it’s going to be good, the trailer is hilarious. Reminds me of Arnold in Kindergarten Cop, which I loved. Funny movie. Same type premise here – Diesel is a Navy Seal assigned to protect some kids (I think their father had or knew something of importance to national security). Normally I don’t like Vin Diesel movies, but this one looks pretty good.
