Comments on the Buzzbin (Movies.com)

Top Five Movies that made the Buzzbin (According to me)

1. Goonies 2 - That's right, the entire original cast reunite 20 years later and solve a mystery, or have an adventure of some sort. Paul Walker is vying to get some kind of role, but other than him you can count on Corey Feldman, Sean Astin, and Josh Brolin reprising their roles. Honestly, I loved Corey Feldman and am pissed that he fell out of the spotlight at all, maybe he'll have a surge of popularity and release the Lost Boys sequel or something.

2. The Life Aquatic - Wes Anderson once again teams up with Bill Murray for a movie that is still shrouded in mystery. It involves an Oceanographer and his crew, and thats all we know. Except for the once again stellar cast, Owen Wilson, Angelica Huston, Willem Dafoe, Cate Blanchett, Jeff Goldblum, and Bud Cort. I didn't love The Royal Tenenbaums as much as Rushmore but maybe with Murray back in the lead it will be just as good or better. I'll see it regardless.

3. The Passion of Christ - A sign of promise for this movie is that it is being criticized for its portrayal of Jews. So maybe they really are taking the Bible seriously, and honestly the Jews or Romans denying their roles in the death of Christ would be like the German Tour guide in the Family Guy denying the invasion of Poland and World War 2. It was a long time ago, admit it and move on. Silly Jews.

4. The Birth of the Pink Panther - I remember hating this movie when I was like 9 because it only had the animated panther for the intro credits. But after seeing Peter Sellers in other movies I have wanted to revisit it as an adult, and now that I can look forward to a remake starring Steve Martin I am motivated. The Buzz is that Jackie Chan may play Cato, and Steve Martin is reworking the script to make it awesome. Another one I am sure to watch.

5. King Kong - Peter Jackson is at the helm of what could be a freaking amazing movie. He is pushing for Naomi Watts to be the female lead and there are rumurs that Andy Serkis may give his animated personality to bring mighty Kong to life as he did the beautifully freakish Gollum.

Other Highlights -
Anchorman - Another Will Farrell Comedy
Superman V - Still in casting, so i'm not excited yet although Charisma Carpenter is in the running for Miss Lane
Miracle - Kurt Russell Hockey movie about the 80's USA Olympic Upset over the Soviets
Star Wars Episode 3 - You know about this, I'm scared because I have a feeling Samuel L. Jackson will die in this one.


Future Bombs -
First 50 Dates - Corny Drew Barrymore Romance
Billy Dead - Some Crap from Ethan Hawke, he's offering stock in the movie because no one will pay to make it.
Exorcist IV - Finished filming amd has re-entered the writing phase...Thats never a good sign
