its sunday,early afternoon,theres nothing to do so i thought i would come on here.but there seems to be about 4 of us on at the moment.so im going to write this post about the movies will that will be at a cinema near you one day.

the first film im going to mention is final fantasy:the spirets within.
now im no final fantasy fan,the series have nether spoken to me and neither has the film.
personaly i dont think that its going to be very good,and the main reasen for this is that theres too much hype.
yes it does brake new grounds in the movie industry and computer technology,with real looking visuals.but thats about all it is.the only thing it has to do with the game is the name.its got a long boring and slow story which is hard to follow (or so i have hered).some final fantasy fans may love it,and see it more than once,but everyone else wont be too amazed.it may be to serious that it wont satisfy the gamers hunger for action,that they are used to.

the second film is scary movie 2.i loved scary movie it may look cheap and tacky but its one of the funniest films that ive seen in a while.it gave us something new,weve seen and hered it all before or atleast we thought we had before sm came along and broke new grounds.the first sm focused more on modern day movies like blair whitch,sixth sense and of course the scream trilogy.but scary movie 2 gives you more of the classic horror like the exosist but still with some new movies including dude wheres my car.
its going to be spoofingly good fun when its released.
my only doubt is,how original will it be?

anticipation rating *****

the third movie is cats and dogs.The age old battle between cats and dogs takes a scientific turn when a group of cats learn that humans are close to discovering a cure for dog allergies. The felines try to halt the breakthrough but the canines refuse to take the kitty offensive lying down.its basiacly a war movie with a twist,a big twist.
could it be a bit too much like small soldiers,both war films with a difference,mixing real life with computer graphics.

anticipation rating ***

the forth film is star wrs episode 2.now i dont know much about this one yet.i just hope its not like episode one which i was very dissapointed with.

anticipation rating ***

spider man is the fith.lets hope that this comic to movie coverssion is any where as good as the fantastic xmen.from what ive seen so far,this is going to be a blockbuster of a movie.

anticipation rating ****

the sixth is men in black 2.the sequal to the hit will smith movie men in black has started shooting.plot info is sketchy at the moment but i have hered that,this film will be about a battle against alians that takes place in space.

anticipation rating *****

now the 7th movie is a long way away but is the one im most excited about.its the simpsons movie.thats right the rumours are true,there will be a simpsons movie,one day.
matt groaning (crator of the simpsons) says that as of yet no deals have been struck yet,but they will make one.
theres a posibility that it will be after the simpsons tv series finishes.which may not be too far away.
one big clue that there would be a simpsons movie before it was announced is that fox opened a web site - www.simpsonsmovie.com
which for some reasen has now gone.

But the horror genre has never been completey straight anyway - look to some of the older tounge in cheek horros such as the Evil Dead films. This has increased in modern horror based films such as Beatlejuice and The Addams Family - the later undoubtedly being a horror and a comedy, like Scary Movie.

Scary Movie isn't at all successful as a spoof of the horror genre for lots of reasons - most importantly that it is rooted in retelling the story of one film almost scene for scene. It doesn't fulfil the traditional spoofing tasks of picking holes in the genre's cliches and (I don't know how to put this into English properly) assumptions. Why not? Cause that what its source material, Scream, done so successfully.

Scream is more the spoof than Scary Movie. It is mearly a gross out film based around another film's plot.
