upcoming movies that rock my world

Okay, I just recently saw Transformers 2. It was fun. Bad like whoa, but fun none the less. I pretty much went into it figuring character development was a lost cause, and plot was probably something best left alone, but pretty people, pretty cars, and action sequences were a go. And yes they were. I was only really thrown out of suspended disbelief a few times when the physics of the situation was just a bit too far off.

While I enjoyed the complete schlockiness that was Transformers 2, the best part of the movie was seeing the previews. Some of them not only looked fun, but looked good, too. So here are a couple of movies that are coming up and look awesome!

Sherlock Holmes (25 December 2009)

Robert Downey Jr as Sherlock Holmes. Let us pause just to appreciate that bit of type casting... he's brilliant at what he does, he's a complete loose canon, a drug-addict, and a bit of an ass. It's perfect.

M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender (2 July 2010)

This just looks awesome! One caveat: Avatar isn't an anime that I follow. And thinking of the anime that I do like, I'm not sure that I would appreciate them being made live action. However, I don't watch the anime, and I do trust Shyamalan, and, as I said, this preview is awesome!

Once Methos finds out he flees Europe, can never be to careful with Kronos

after the arrest he tries to get the technology for himself and steals it shutting down the factory and keeping all the other immortals from the secret.

The more law abiding ones love it as it stops them from being identified and challenged. Headhunters hate it as they can't find their targets

And it just makes them all real antsy, regardless of whether they're peaceful or headhunters. The hairs on the backs of their necks are constantly standing at attention.

The Watchers aren't sure what's up with the London immortals of the era but they sure are a twitchy lot.

I bet they put down it's due to rampant opium and cocaine consumption. some Immortals are worried it's the gathering starting but they don't feel any murderous urges... or more than normally anyway

the twitchiest of them try go to the far sides of the empire or at least far from London...

Methos is very glad about that, Irene/Amanda not so much she has a fondness for her Immortal and Chivalrous friends having them away from Europe doesn't make at all happy

especially as the ones staying seem to be the ones which don't care about those "modern" values and she can't escape
