2005 Most Anticipated Movies

Rather than look back on 2004 I'd rather look ahead. Happy New Year folks. Enjoy.

Here is my list of the most anticipated movies of 2005.

Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith: The final installment to the trilogy. No happy ending in this one folks. There will be a lot of death and destruction to go around.

Batman Begins: Warner Bros. reboots the Dark Knight with Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith: Doug Liman serves us up some eye candy in the form of Brad Pitt and Angela Jolie. They play a pair of assassins who are married to each other but one doesn't know what the other one does for a living. They end up being each other's assignment.

Sin City: Robert Rodriguez brings Frank Miller's graphic novel to life. Here's the cast: Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Elijah Wood, Bruce Willis, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Clarke Duncan, Josh Hartnett, Michael Madsen, Jaime King, Brittany Murphy, Clive Owen, Mickey Rourke. I don't think they have enough stars in this movie.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: As Harry grows older the stories get darker.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: They blow up Earth in the first 10 minutes of the movie, and then things get funny after that.

Fantastic Four: Avi Arad and Tim Story bring Marvel's first family to life. They went with a younger cast this time around.

Be Cool: Chili Palmer leaves movies and goes into the music business in this follow up to Get Shorty.

The Ring 2: The story picks up six months after the horrifying events that terrorized Rachel Keller and her son Aidan in Seattle. To escape her haunting memories, Rachel takes Aidan and moves to the small coastal community of Astoria, Oregon, to start fresh. However, Rachel’s resolve quickly turns to dread when evidence at a local crime scene—including an unmarked videotape—seems eerily familiar. Rachel realizes that the vengeful Samara is back and more determined than ever to continue her relentless cycle of terror and death..

Ice Harvest: A dim lawyer attempts a Christmas Eve crime, hoping to swindle the local mob out of some money. But his partner, a strip club owner, might have different plans for the cash. directed by Harold Ramis.

Honorable mention: Spy Hunter - It's the Rock for goodness sakes. Come on you know you smell what he's cookin.

Star Wars III (or VI) better be good. The first two (or last two) did not meet expectations. This will either justify Episodes one and two or kill the franchise.

I'm not looking forward to the Fantastic Four at all. That might be another Punisher.
