So uuhhhh, apparently Sony would like to make another 3 (count 'em) Spidey flicks, but the current cast has yet to sign on again as of yet...
Now I know they arent going to run out of enemies anytime soon, as the comics have been going on for YEARS, but in fims... I dunno, I wont be holding my breath if the actors do sign on again methinks
Unless in Spidey 4 they introduce Carnage and the rest of Venom's 'Progeny' (Scream, Lasher, Riot, Phage, and Agony) and in Spidey 5 introduce Toxin, and no idea what they'd do for 6, but, meh, I dont expect a Spidey 6

In the last few weeks i have seen 'Miss Potter' and 'Meet The Robinsons'.
Both films i enjoyed immensly. Have always been a fan of Beatrix Potter's books.
Renee Zellwegger and Ewan McGregor both did a fantastic job with their roles. WEll so i thought anyway.
Meet The Robinsons is one of the latest Disney creations and has like the more recent one's a fair bit of adult humour! Predictable ending but what Disney movie doesn't??? Before i saw this movie i thought it was about The Swiss Family Robinson for some strange reason...but i was wrong. I encourage everyone to go and see it...one word...T-Rex (Is that one word or two?)

I'm pretty sure Stacy, (the Police chief's daughter Peter took to the Jazz club,) dressed all in black is going to be Black Cat, (always in black, white-blonde hair,) Mysterio we know is JJ's son, and we've met him so there's another.
Also, Dr Conner's lizard is a possibility too.

Spider-Man 3 - overlong, self indulgent, convoluted, cheesy (McGuire was a little bit OTT in this)...yet I really enjoyed it. The creaters either had balls in doing it like this, or were blinded by their own self indulgence, which is fitting giving Peter Parker's story arc.
The first footage from the new John Rambo film is out. OMG. Don't click if you are squeamish. http://www.aintitcool.com/multimedia/AICN-JOHN-RAMBO2.mov Apparently this link will only be up for a few more days...
If you want to see what the new Joker and the next Batman film will look like, click this spoilerific little link. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/32723
Interesting movie times ahead, starting with this week's little swashbuckler 
Before I see that though, 28 Weeks Later is going to be my next little indulgence.

Sorry to step on your tootsies Aiel but.....
Do You mean Gwen Stacy ?.
Felicia Harding is Black Cat in the Animated series (Blonde Just as Gwen is but she had a medallion which turned her hair white (that or looking at Chewie Shaved did it)
plus
Quentin Beck was Mysterio.
John Jameson (in the animated series at least) was responsible for finding Promethium X in space or as most people know is the Symbiote which turned Spidey bad and later on created Venom. I do like the fact they kept the whole Symbiote from Space riff.
You're on the Ball with Dr. Curt Conners as the Lizard I wanna see him
Being A Spidey fan I kinda know this.
Again Apologies Aiel.

ok, just got back from seeing Pirates.
I give it .... 
Sorry, was just a little tedious. Weighing at at nearly 3 hours it can be a little.....lengthy.
The movie was more of the same as the second. Good action, some amusing moments with Jack as could be expected & the "multiplicity" scenes with Jack were quite amusing. The effects were quite good & you weren't left thinking" that was clearly CGI" which is what you don't want to be thinking in a special effects movie.
I give it

Saw Pirates tonight.
Didn't have a problem with the length. What did bother me was how confusing the many plot lines were. There were many parts of the story I just didn't understand. In some scenes I was so distracted by the atmosphere, that I didn't focus enough on the significance of what was being said. Started to get really frustrated. Particular scenes earlier on in the film didn't make sense, and by not understanding them, I didn't know why/how things happened later on in the story. Maybe I would have understood the film better if I had watched POTC 1 and 2 again recently beforehand... the previous ones would explain why some things happened in this one.
Despite that, I still enjoyed the film. It was for the most part an exciting adventure, with great action, special effects, music, costumes and make-up. The characters I enjoyed the most were Jack Sparrow, Davy Jones, Barbossa, Pintel and Ragetti.
I'd give it / (3 and a half out of 5)
EDIT: Also, there's an extra scene after the credits.

Reviews ...
Spidey 3
Well ... I thought they'd improve from the 2nd film, but looks like they have gone in the wrong direction. Too many bad guys, and although Peter Parker's 'darkside' was a good idea ... it was poorly executed. Watching the scene in the jazz club, I wondered if I was watching 'The Mask' with Peter's 'amazing' dancing. The movie tried to do too much. This'll be a good watch when languishing on the couch, hung over and not wanting to think too much.
If they make a 4th, it'd better be DAMN good.
/ (1 and a half coffees out of 5)
Pirates Of The Carribean: At World's End
I was wary of the length ... but I was NEVER bored for the entire duration of the film. I really enjoyed it! Had enough humour as well as twists that kept me entertained. Some great sequences which lifted it. It goes somewhere else yet still stays faithful to the genre. I love a movie where not everyone wins in the end. The separating of husband and wife was excellent and not expected.
Special mention has to go to the cameo of Keith Richards. Great credit to the producers for making him Jack's father. The Jack Sparrow character's physical appearance was based on Keith when they did the first movie and he actually did a damn good job! Better than Mick Jagger in Ned Kelly or Freejack!
If there are more, I'd go watch
/ (3 and a half out of 5)
**NB Saw a trailers for Transformers and Harry Potter: OOTP before the movie. Both look good! Bring on July!
