Movies to look forward to:<\/b>
\n
Tomb Raider 2<\/a>! Unlike the 98% of the movie-going public that were horrified by it, I actually liked the first one. And huh-ho, what’s this? It looks like somebody’s found the cheat code to get Lara to remove her clothes. According to the report, Angelina Jolie’s gonna be showin’ more skin in the sequel.
\n
Lobo The Movie<\/a>. All I can say is it’s about bloody time<\/b>, you bastich<\/i>!
\n
Daredevil<\/a>. This is shaping up to be the must-see movie for me in 2003. I’m even more excited about this movie than The Hulk, the third installment of The Lord Of The Rings and the Matrix sequels. Judging from the pics, it looks like it’s heavily influenced by the Frank Miller run on the book, which is the only way it should<\/i> be.<\/p>\n

For the record, I think doing “Red Dragon”<\/a> (the prequel to “Silence Of The Lambs”) is a huge<\/b><\/i> mistake. First of all, the book by Thomas Harris had Hannibal Lecter in it for about 5 pages total. That translates to maybe about 2 minutes of screen time. However, judging from the teaser trailer, our favorite crazy cannibal will be one of the main characters in the movie. Call me picky, but I believe that film adaptations have an obligation<\/i> to stick close to the storyline of the original source. Looks like this won’t be the case here.

Currently listening to: Never Mind The Mainstream: The Best of MTV’s 120 Minutes Vol.1. Lots of classic tracks here including the Stone Roses’ “Fools Gold”, “See A Little Light” By Bob Mould, “Mandinka” by the ever-lovable Sinead O’Connor and “Carolyn’s Fingers” by The Cocteau Twins.
