I resent the remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory -- the original was so cool.

From the previews, it looks like Burton is sticking more closely to the book. As an example, notice the great glass elevator?

Revenge of the Sith
Madagascar (For our little guy)

Maybe one or two more w/o our little man.

Parenting question .... Feedback suggested.

Our little one is a little over two years old. We plan to take him to see Madagascar which would be his first movie at the movies. Is that too young?

I'm not a parent, but I have taken two year olds that I babysat to movies. They were well behaved during the movie. Understand that it is an animated film, the crowd will be full of children, and as a rule, children in theaters are noisy to begin with. Shouldn't be a problem.

It isn't a summer flick, but Kingdom of Heaven looks great.

Kingdom of Heaven was very good, I thought it was well done. (Note: It wouldn't hurt to have some background knowledge of the time, might appreciate it more that way) Is it better the Gladiator? No. Better then Troy? I don't think so, I really liked Troy even though it was inaccurate to Homer's Iliad. While Kingdom of Heaven I would say stayed fairly accurate to the time and events, it is a good movie and I would have to say Orlando Bloom did an excellent job. So I would have to go give it , and it is worth seeing in theatre.

My movies I would like to see..
War of the Worlds
Star Wars
New World
Batman
Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Cinderella Man is starting shortly. It looks excellent.

Bewitched
Kicking and Screaming
War of the Worlds
Stealth
Must Love Dogs
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith -- It promises to be the darkest Star Wars yet, but remember that Aniken/Vader is the one who brings balance to the force by killing the emperor and squashing the Dark Side...eventually. And I get to see it two nights before everyone else

War of the Worlds -- classic big budget summer disaster movie...I love those. And the special fx look awesome.

Dukes of Hazzard -- Saw the preview. Burt Reynolds as Boss Hogg is ridiculous and doesn't work at all. Bo and Luke look more like jokesters than they ever were. Rosco doesn't look as clumsy as the TV version. But Jessica Simpson more than makes up for it as Daisy

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Fall 2005) -- I love the Harry Potter series. Goblet of Fire was the best book of the five so far (IMO).

I saw House of Wax over the weekend. I wasn't expecting to like it but I did. Plenty of suspense and a very interesting plot. Paris Hilton wasn't THAT bad either. She was bad, just not THAT bad.

Somehow I picture the "Dukes of Hazzard" movie as being like the "movie within a movie" segment of "Pee Wee's Big Adventure." (Steve Brolin portrayed a James-Bondian version of Pee Wee, Morgan Fairchild portrayed Pee Wee's girlfriend.) Everyone will be more handsome/beautiful/erudite than their real, or in the Dukes' case, TV personas. All of which will serve to drain the charm out of the original concept.

In my own biased crystal ball, I don't see the "Bewitched" movie as having the same issue.
