He's been everywhere lately.

True, but Hulk's reboot had a purpose, to get ready for The Avengers.

It looks like Tim Burton ruined Dark Shadows, did he make it into a comedy... Dark Shadows was not a comedy. It was gothic horror. Serious themes. Now it's a comedy..wow.

I really hope the new Bourne movie eases up on that "OMG IMMA SHAKING THE CAMERA CAUSE THIS IS INTENSE!!!!!!11one" garbage that the last two movies had. Doug Liman did the best job with the first film because it wasn't so nauseating to watch. I still liked the other two movies, but man! the camera work bugged me.

The worst was when it was done on simple dialogue scenes. You could see it swaying.

That is Ridley Scott's fault. He popularized shakey cam with Gladiator now everyone wants to save money on effects by using retired cameramen with Parkinson's disease.

Yet another reason to see it opening day.

Mission Impossible looked terrible except for Simon Pegg being in it, I mean the last one sucked so I expect this one to as well.



@neiru
Dark Shadows was a serious drama, then it was due to be cancelled so they said what the hell and threw in a ghost. And if a camera man randomly zooming in on a woman chest isn't funny then I do not wish to live on this planet anymore.

GI Joe

Avengers

Prometheus

Men in Black III

Spider-man

Battleship (why not?)

Well I loved The Hunger Games (however, that was a spring movie) other that I want to see Snow White and the Huntsman, Brave and Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part 2. Maybe MIB III and Dark Shadows.

Like I give a **** about your nitpick but.....

TO NITPICK...

Disney owns Pixar, so anything by Pixar is Disney.

And look what Disney put on their facebook page...

It even says in the description DISNEY...

Brave looks like a lot of fun, but unless someone really wants to go, I think I'll end up waiting for it on DVD.

Even though I missed the Hunger Games, I think I still might find myself in a movie theatre this year. Avengers and TDKR are really tempting as a comic book fan, but Prometheus currently holds my interest.

It's been a long time since I've had a good scare in the theatres and I'm hoping this franchise can do that again.

Pixar is owned by Disney, so technically it is a Disney production. Disney bought Pixar in 2006.
