The Invisible also looks interesting. Evan Almighty and Ratatouille should be funny. The Simpsons movie is coming out, and the 3rd Bourne installment Bourne Ultimatum. Stephen King's short story The Mist is supposed to be making a screen debut in the fall next year, though knowing how these things sometimes get pushed back I wouldn't be surprised if it was 2008.

Woo hoo! The last one definitely left us all on the hook. May cannot come soon enough. I can’t wait to see Pirates 3. Woo hoo! The last one definitely left us all on the hook.

But, really, I guess that's genius.

I also forgot to mention Spiderman 3 opens Memorial Day weekend, and though I like Tobey McGuire, I'm kinda eh on Spidey. You mentioning Netflix reminds me that I need to add some selections to my queue....I'm heading over there right now! THE QUEEN has been at the top of my list for a while now.

I want the whole experience - the larger than life visuals, the blasting music that craddles you and sweeps you away when you least expect it, the whoops of the crowd and the artery-blocking popcorn. The others I'll have to wait-and-see with. I rely quite a bit on the reviews I read at rottentomatoes.com, and I don't think I've ever been disappointed. In fact, I recently used <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/top/" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Rotten Tomatoes' Best Of page</a> to fill up my queue at NetFlix. Looks like the moment's must-see movie is <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/children_of_men/" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Children of Men </a>, and I'm already mentally waiting in line to see <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/queen/" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">The Queen</a>, which I think opens widely 1/19.
