Shadow of the Real World

A few musings from Kansas by a high school literature teacher. Over the past few months, this blog has turned a commentary on media. I will probably continue to focus on film and television, but books and music might sneak in... By the way - If you would like me to post on a regular basis - please comment, even if it's just to say, "Hi." If my audience disappears, I lose the motivation to write! Thanks!

Trailers

This morning I was thinking about trailers I watch online and realize that perhaps someone else would be interested in a few. So here are some of the upcoming movies that I am looking forward to, in no particular order...

Serenity - Joss Whedon. I'd watch him direct "A Trip to the Grocery Store."
Batman Begins - It's Batman played by Christian Bale...and it looks like a serious take on the Dark Knight. Finally.
The Island - based on a short story. I love sci-fi movies based on sci-fi short stories.
A Scanner Darkly - another short story with very interesting visuals.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith - Action movie, lots of explosions. There's a tango. Need I say more?
Bride and Prejudice - It's a Bollywood version of the Austen novel. What's not to love?
Kingdom of Heaven - Intriguing. I'm interested to see what Ridley Scott does with this story.
The Man - It's Eugene Levy and Samuel L. Jackson. Funny...
The Perfect Man - It's a romantic comedy. Predictable is part of the genre. I don't care! :-)
Madagascar - usually I don't like cartoons. This looks funny.
Lords of Dogtown - it's about skaters and the beginning of skateboarding. I'm intrigued.
Apres Vous - a French Romance.
Mad Hot Ballroom - kids dancing. I'm a sucker for a good dancing movie. :-)
Revenge of the Sith - It's Star Wars. I'm going at midnight...

That's it for now. There's more, but I've got to go clean my house. Mom's coming over for dinner - Happy Mother's Day!!!
