Last I heard they may not even use the Joker in the next film.

Watched "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" last night. I haven't read the books, but enjoyed the movie for it's randomness. Apparently, they added a love story and changed a but i'd still give it a

(probably a B grade).

I know this is a running theme with movies based on books, but the books are better. If you enjoyed the movie, you would really enjoy the "trilogy" of books.

Yeah, Trillian wants nothing to do with Arthur whatsoever in the series of books, by the way.

Hustle and Flow-

. Good acting from Terrence Howard.

If you thought the movie was random, you should definitely read the books. I don't know what the hell Douglas Adams was smoking, but I want some.

since I'm home sick today, i committed the time necessary to watch Million Dollar Baby. Even though somebody ruined the ending for me awhile ago, you could see where they were going with it from a mile away. Overall a good movie though.

Saw King Kong last night in a VIP box - the only way to watch a three-hour movie. Awesome film (although Jack Black disappointed, IMO) made all the better by the fact I could fart, belch, talk, eat noisily, order beer, scratch my balls etc... whenever I wanted to.

He did an outstanding job withthat part. The Mrs. and I watched it last night and both enjoyed it.

finally saw "Wedding Crashers" last night... very funny... Vince Vaughn's comic timing is genius.

Red Eye-

pretty standard action/thriller. Would have been pretty bad if it wasnt for Rachel Mcadams eye candy.

I thought McAdams and Murphy were pretty good in it. The story was full of holes and the writing was subpar, but the two leads held it together pretty well, I thought.

red eye = blah....one of the more overrated (in terms of reviews) movies of last year

SD_Eagle5 · January 13, 2006, 12:23:38 PM

Watched '40 Year Old Virgin' lastnight, was pretty funny.

Wedding Crashers was better.

Latest rumors for villains (and soon to be villains) as per filmforce.ign.com:

Rachel Weisz will be cast as Ra's Al Ghul's daughter Talia.
Johnny Depp will be cast as the Joker.

I think it's been known for a while now that Josh Lucas is up for DA Harvey Dent (soon to be Two-Face, rumored to be the mIII villain).
