and yes, ive been slacking a bit when it comes to movie news. and its not even because theres too much to cover. quite the opposite actually…theres been fewer movie items that pique my interest these past few weeks. so as a result, i make less effort…whups. ill play a little catch-up then.
CATWOMAN
theres a new poster for the train-wreck-in-waiting movie catwoman. the posters not bad actually…but its like drawing a happy face on a bag of shit.
PHONE REMAKE
focus features just acquired the rights to remake the korean horror movie, the phone. while the premise was slightly ringu-esque, the movie still held its own for one reason and one reason only…that absolutely freaky little girl. so theyd better cast her juuuuust right in the remake.
NEW SPIDER-MAN 2 TRAILER
a rockin’ new trailer for spider-man 2 was released last week…and it looks absolutely amazing. absolutely. do i use that word too much? absolutely. anyway, like i stated before…i never bothered with the first spider-man, but the sequel looks great. it has my attention.
HARRY POTTER CLIPS
and there were new clips from the prisoner of azkaban on the hpana, but they seem to be poot at the moment. update: they were originally from the daniel radcliffe site, so thats still up. the tv clips have the kids of harry potter talking about the television premiere may 9th of the sorcerer’s stone on abc, and about the 10-minute preview of azkaban that will accompany it. wooha!
theres also another post for a taiwanese azkaban teaser that was on the bbc in the past with a few scenes not shown in any of the other trailers.
BAAF 2004
ok, this isnt movie news, but i thought id toss this in here. the 2004 big apple anime festival has been cancelled due to conflicts with the republican national convention. they will instead focus their efforts on the 2005 baaf. fucking republicans!!!

i don´t belive in remakes!!! 🙂
i generally dont mind remakes if they dont suck. for instance, the upcoming remake of the korean movie my wife is a gangster starring queen latifah…will suck. the ring definitely did not suck. and hopefully neither will my sassy girl.
