Doomsday:
Authorities
brutally
quarantine a country as it succumbs to fear and chaos when a virus
strikes. The literal walling-off works for three decades, until the
dreaded Reaper virus violently resurfaces in a major city. An elite
group of specialists, captained by Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra), is
urgently dispatched into the still-quarantined country to retrieve a
cure by any means necessary. Shut off from the rest of the world, the
unit must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare.

I’m
guessing the disease will render its victims monstrous and
villainous, not infirmed and weak. They’ll look like a combo
on shaved
head Brittany and the zombies from “Omega Man.”
They’ll moan and
grumble, and do everything short of murmur the word
“braaaaiiiiinnnnns.” The main characters will be
more attractive than
any team of scientists in the history of scientists. It’ll
get rough
for a while in there; someone loveable but dispensable might even die.
But the most attractive people will survive and reify the
matrimony/reproduction ideology by kissing … and thus
symbolically
having sex. |
Good Luck Chuck:
Charlie
Logan (Dane Cook) breaks the rules of spin-the-bottle, resulting in a
twenty-five year curse: every woman he’s ever slept with has
found true
love … with the next guy after him. Before he knows it,
Charlie’s
reputation as a “good luck charm” has women lining
up for a quickie.
But a life filled with all sex and no love has Charlie lonelier than
ever, that is, until he meets Cam (Jessica Alba). |
This
one
will be tough to predict. I’ll either never see it, or
I’ll
see it for free and feel like I’ve been robbed. |
Indiana Jones 4:
Twenty-five
years after "Raiders of the Lost Ark," Harrison Ford reprises his role
in "Indiana Jones 4." |
In
the first three Indiana Jones movies, Harrison Ford finds priceless
old objects that have been lost for several millennia. This time,
Harrison Ford will find the dustiest artifact yet: himself. In
“Indiana
Jones 4,” the character Short Round (from “Temple
of Doom”) will likely
return. He’ll be a bit older, a bit wiser, and bit less
funny. His
stirring “stop judging people by their accents”
speech will be cut at
the editing stage. |
The Seeker: The Dark is Rising:
A boy
discovers that he possesses special powers, but his newfound abilities
thrust him into a battle between good and evil. |
The
world of cinema is ready for a new kind of hero. Someone with the
bravado of Hans Solo, the purity of Luke Skywalker, the spunk of
Princess Leia, the voice of Chewy, the fashion sense of Vader, the
accent of Harry Potter, the brains of Hermione, the tawny hair of Ron
Weasley, and the messianic “dudeness” of Neo. Also,
he’ll be totally
original. |
