I already saw Iron Man. Very much enjoyed it. Here's my list:
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: If Harrison's too old, you wouldn't know it from the footage I've seen. Plus, "Rocky Balboa" and "Live Free or Die Hard" have me pumped for the return of yesteryear's heroes.
"The Dark Knight" I must concede, you Brits have some of the greatest film talent. As I was rewatching "Batman Begins" last night, I realized that though the film (presumably) is set in America, this is a British film, through and through. You've got Chris Nolan, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, and Tom Wilkinson here. Nolan is a fabulous director, and with the exception of Caine, all of the actors were playing Americans, and convincingly so (which reminds me: are there any cases where American actors speak with credible English accents? I can't think of any). To our credit the great Morgan Freeman is ours. Anyway, TDK will rule. Heath Ledger is blowing my mind in these trailers.
WALL*E - C'mon. It's Pixar. Nuff said.
Oh, tangent. I've heard it said that American actress Claire Danes makes a convincing Brit in Stardust. I thought she sounded good, but being from the States, I'm not a sound authority on the subject. Those who are British, your thoughts?
"Narnia" should be okay.
"The Happening" is supposed to be Shymalan's return to form. I hope so, because I love the man's work when he's on. "Unbreakable" is in my top ten, and I think it's highly underrated.
I hope "The X-Files" sequel lives up to the glory of that show's early and middle seasons.
Last one: "Son of Rambow" is supposed to be hilarious.
I just want to third the motion on Ed Wright and Simon Pegg. My new Halloween tradition is a "Shaun of the Dead" / Michael Jackson's "Thriller" zombie double-feature. And "Hot Fuzz" made me laugh harder than any movie of the past decade. While we were shooting "CTU PROVO," I often thought that our tone resembled theirs (a film that functions as both a parody of a genre while fitting snugly within that genre), though we didn't pretend to rise to the heights that they did. In fact, I believe either Alan or I mentioned "Hot Fuzz" as a tonal template during our initial brainstorming sessions.
Dude, Alan, can't wait for your wedding on Friday!
I would love nothing more than to pay you guys a visit! If I only had the cash. Sigh.
Hey, what role play game are we talking about (or do I not want to know)?
Hi, my name is Jono Decker. I'm a master's student studying family therapy. Though I live in Alabama right now, I'm from Arizona, and did my undergrad in Utah, where, among other things, I worked on Alan Seawright's CTU PROVO. Anyway, I'm lovin' the site!
Hey guys! Alan tuned me in to this, and the sincere plug on your site (as well as this thread) have put a huge smile on my face. This is Jono, by the way. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it so much!
