Saw a trailer on the big screen for "Batman: The Dark Knight." Most of the trailer featured Heath Ledger as the Joker. He created a really spooky character, I'm looking forward to seeing it. I think it's a good idea to desensitize the audience with these types of trailers - it kind of takes your breath away to see Heath at first, and you sit there wishing he wasn't dead. But if you can get that out of the way before actually seeing the movie, I think it will be easier to fully appreciate what a real star-turn this was for Ledger.

I'm pretty anxious about the new X-Files movie - please don't let it suck. In the paper the other day there was a mini review for a new DVD release, The X-Files: Revelations, that's billed as "the essential guide" to the new movie. The episodes included are the pilot, "Beyond the Sea", "The Host", "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose", "Bad Blood", "The Post-Modern Prometheus", "Memento Mori", and "Milagro". I don't really remember that last one but most of the others are among the show's best so if the movie can live up to them, it ought to be amazing. I just can't tell what to expect from the trailers. *Crosses fingers* I saw the trailer for the new The Day the Earth Stood Still. Now, the original is one of my absolute favorite Cold War-era sci-fi films so I was both apprehensive and excited when I heard there's a remake on the way. Seeing the teaser trailer, I'm a little more nervous now but guess I gotta hope for the best. We're going to take the girls to see Kitt Kittredge. I know it's based on a toy line but the movie looks pretty good and it's a relief to find something for kids that's not too trashy or obnoxious. Has anyone seen The Fall with Lee Pace (from Pushing Daisies)? I sorta want to see it but it hasn't come to any theaters near here.

I am so excited right now. I thought Clint Eastwood had totally given up being in front of the camera, but he is starring in a new movie coming out in December! YAY! No trailers or even a poster are out yet, but this is the synopsis... • Gran Torino, starring Clint Eastwood, who also directs. December. The plot: A disgruntled Korean War vet Walt Kowalski (Eastwood) opts to reform his neighbor, a young Hmong teenager, after the youth tries to steal Kowalski’s prized possession, a 1972 Gran Torino. In the process, Walt must confront his own bigotry.

I've had my google alerts set on Clint Eastwood waiting for news of his new movie for a long time. Today articles are finally showing up! “I’m a weirdo in it. I play a real racist. … It’s a great time in life (to do that) because, you know, what can they do to you once you’re past 70? There’s nothing they can do. But it also has redemption. This Hmong family moves in next door, and he has been in the Korean War, in the infantry, and looks down on Asian people and lumps everybody together. But finally they befriend him in his time of need because he has no relationship with his family.” ...Clint LINK And here's one more article dated today. LINK I can't wait to see this!

I loved those movies as well. I rented them for DD and we watched and I don't think they held up too well over time (and DD was kind of bored) so I'm excited to see what they do in the remakes.

The third tv movie with Noah Wyle as The Librarian will be on TNT Sunday night, Dec. 7 at 8/7c. This one is 'CURSE OF THE JUDAS CHALICE'. I love The Librarian stories. This will be the last outing on TNT. Wyle is hoping to have the next one be on the big screen

I was all excited to go see Clint's "Gran Torino" this past weekend because all the ads I saw said it opened Dec 12. Guess what? It only opened in 6 theatres! Oh well, I guess I can wait a little longer, but I sure was disappointed.

They're doing Witch Mtn. movies??? I loved those as a kid! A few years ago Darren and I went looking for the first two (only two?) and couldn't find them anywhere, even checked online.

I have seen the original two in stores:
 and I have seen the most recent (1995) TV remake at the time it was first aired but not in stores. The one I have never seen is the one from the early 80's with Tracey Gold as Tia. Somehow I don't think I missed much LOL but the last one I wish I could find, my girls enjoyed it. I still can't believe that the original Tia was Paris Hilton's aunt. Wargod, Amazon is selling both original movies together for $15 dollars and according to their site they are still saying delivery before Christmas. And check out check out the trailer for the new one... doesn't look like a low-budget production. Should be fun!

Funnily enough they are showing these films on TCM today; I caught the end of the first one, Return to Witch Mountain coming up next (the 70s version). They must be doing a tie in to the remake or something. These movies sort of creeped me out as a kid, dont know why...

I think TCM was doing a Disney day. They also showed Candleshoe -- one of my childhood favorites. Does TCM put commercials in their movies? I couldn't remember. I went ahead and recorded it anyways. Yes, The Witch Mountain movies are available, both on the same DVD. I borrowed the dvd from netflix.

Happymom, is Marley and me kid appropriate? For a 6 year old? I was thinking it was a romance, but my DD keeps saying she wants to see it (becsause she sees the puppy on TV). Personally, I'm not a Jen fan, so I'll take any excuse to skip it. LOL.

Ditto what Mocha said. I'm looking forward to this. Was that the guy from Rescue Me?
