Upcoming Film Schedule

I post these every now and then, and after a subtle prompt from my Dad I thought I’d post another.

Here’s what the planned viewing looks like for the rest of the year:

April

4th - Funny Games (Remake, might be good)

4th - Awake (Not a remake, might be crap)

11th - [REC] (Apparently excellent foreign peer to Cloverfield/Diary of the Dead)

18th - The Ruins (Good trailer, apparently good book)

May

2nd - Iron Man (One of my most wanted…don’t be crap….don’t be crap…)

9th - Doomsday (Not getting good reviews, but Neil Marshall hasn’t let me down yet)

16th - Speed Racer (Could be awful, but the trailer intrigues me)

22nd - Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull (It’s Indy FFS)

June

13th - The Happening (Shyamalan back on form?)

13th - The Incredible Hulk (HULK SMASH!)

27th - Wanted (Angelina looking yummy, and Mr Nightwatch directing…can’t wait…another most…er…Wanted)

July

2nd - Hancock (Good trailer, neat idea, and the wife will probably enjoy it…it’s Will Smith…)

4th - Kung Fu Panda (I really hope this isn’t a one joke film…)

18th - Wall-E (My soon-to-be three year old son’s first cinema excursion)

25th - The Dark Knight (Despite my son’s obsession with Batman, he’ll not be seeing this for a bit…but another most wanted)

August

8th - Mummy 3 (If I’m washing my hair or tidying my sock draw, I’ll happily skip this, but it might be good fun)

22nd - Hellboy 2 (Oh yes… potentially the best film of the summer)

29th - The Wackness (All The Boys Love Mandy Lane’s director teams up with Ben Kingsley…could be good)

September

19th - Tropic Thunder (Hilarious trailer…RDJ as a black guy…hopefully it’ll be as entertaining as its premise)

26th - Death Race (Really don’t know about this yet, but we’ll see)

October

3rd - RocknRolla (Can Guy Ritchtea make another decent film? We shall see…)

17th - Igor (Great concept, great cast)

31st - Quantum of Solace (Bond is back baby!)

November

1st - Saw V (Must. Watch. Saw. Four.)

21st Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (After the previous outing was surprisingly excellent, this is a must see)

One Left

Well, it’s almost 6am, and we have one film left to go. Savage Streets was predictably crap, although amusing in places (a sign saying “Doctors Hospital” was the high point for me). Frontieres is either the definitive freaky cannible family movie of this generation, or derivative style over substance. I’ll decide which when I’m less tired.

The fifth and final movie is L’interior, and I’m looking forward to it. More Red Bull is about to be consumed. See you on the other side.

Day Of The Bed

In preparation for tonight’s Frightfest All-Nighter, I booked the day off work today and spent it in bed. Impressively, I managed to sleep from 10:30 last night, to 2pm this afternoon. Admittedly there was a slight interruption as I dropped my son off at my sister’s for the day, but even so I’m quite proud of that. It confirms I’ve not lost the ability to sleep I gained as a student

I’ll be updating throughout the night, assuming I can get a connection on my mobile. And the battery lasts.

Imminent New Wordpress Goodness

Wordpress version 2.3 is due any time now, and I’ll be upgrading this and all the other blogs I host to the lastest version.

Things have changed quite a bit with this release, so it’s entirely possible that themes and plugins might break. So, if you visit Is There Food at some point over the next couple of days and things are a little odd, chances are I’m playing with the 2.3.

Once I’ve got 2.3 installed, and I’ve updated my theme and plugins to support it, I’m determined to ramp up my blogging. I’ve got to post my thoughts on Mr Brooks, Zombie Diaries, Wrong Turn 2, Evil Aliens, and more.

See you on the other side.

Best. T-Shirts. Ever.

Damn. I need one of these. And one of these. And maybe one of these.

Screw it… I think I need pretty much every one of the men’s t-shirts on this page.

They even have my guilty pleasure…

More Pointless Remake News

Bloody Disgusting - which neatly sums up my thoughts on this - are reporting that Poltergeist is to be remade. If that wasn’t bad enough, In the shot for shot style that served Psycho so well. Repeat after me: what…is…the…point?

And good old Fango have an published interview with Bob Clark in which he talks about Black Christmas, in which he mentions the aforementioned Psycho remake. While he’s pleased that the upcoming Black Christmas remake isn’t a direct copy, it does sound like Morgan and Wong have totally missed the point of the original. And I can’t help but get the impression that Clark sounds somewhat disappointed with the result.
