I went and I saw Harry Potter; The Order of the Phoenix and it was my favorite one yet because it was really and actually good.

Bratz: The Movie

Based on the popular marketing ploy that resulted in dolls, clothing and an animated cartoon comes the trailer for Bratz: The Movie.  I’m picturing Mean Girls without the brains.  I’ve hated Bratz since the very first time I saw a piece of their merchandise, so I’m probably not the best person to review this trailer, but here goes.  The trailer for Bratz: The Movie shows four teenage girlfriends intent on conquering High School while the student body president makes every attempt to break up the friendships (I guess because she’s afraid… or jealous).  Whatever, it’s a terrible plot…. actually it is almost the plot of Mean Girls, but in reverse.  I know this movie was made for me, and in return I will not be seeing it.

The Bourne Ultimatum

Jason Bourne is back and he is more angry than ever.  Bent on learing the truth the trailer shows us running, driving and fighting his way to the finish line and the downfall of whatever covert government agency created him.  Director Paul Greengrass is back for the supposed final installment of the Bourne Tillogy and the trailer looks most bad-ass.  I think the second film was better than the first and I’m hoping this one will follow suit and be the best.

Balls of Fury

My buddy Aaron has been talking this movie up for a few months but I just finally got to see the trailer… and it looks awesome.  The movie has Chris Walken running an illegal underground table tennis ring, how cool is that?  The film is written and directed by Ben Garant who also created the much loved Reno 911, so good for him.  He also wrote the film Let’s Go To Prison… which makes me feel like breaking this computer right here and now.  I’ll admit, I’m going to see this movie just because Chris Walken is in it.

The Dark Is Rising

Looks terrible.  Walden Studios brings us another movie of a kid in a fantasy land, wowie.  The Dark Is Rising is about a youngster who learns that he is imortal and thus should fight evil.  The trailer does not instill me with a sense of confidence.  The movie is directed by David L. Cunningham who also directed…. um… nothing.

Fred Claus

A few years ago Will Ferrell was in that movie Elf which filled me with christmas cheer, this year I think Fred Claus is going to do the job.  Vince Vaughn stars as Fred Claus the partying brother of Santa who is forced to move to the North Pole to work in the family business.  Paul Giamatti plays Santa.  Kevin Spacey, Ludacris, and Kathy Bates all show up to help the movie along.  The film is directed by David Dobkin who proved he was no slouch when he made the 2005 sleeper success Wedding Crashers.
