Wait, hold on, I’m still in shock. I’m going to have to talk in short bursts. Because my heart is still beating far too quickly. For me to concentrate. On sentence structure.

Okay, I think I’m relaxed enough to carry on now, forgive me. If you too wish to trip out on the latest and greatest trailer for the most amazing film spectacle of the year, simply check it out right here, in gorgeous HD.

As you can see, this movie is going to blow people away, and I can only hope it’s even better than this trailer makes out. And to be honest, I really doubt it will fall down at that hurdle. Much rather, I think it will be just too good to actually show at cinemas, and therefore never be released. Argh!

So what’s been going on in the cinema world recently? Well, of course this is just what piqued my interest, it may be totally tiresome to you but whatever. Probably not. So, if you remember, I did round up what I was looking forward to this year, so as we approach the end of the year I thought it would be good to look further ahead.

Funny you should ask… well, I’d be more than happy to explain. Don’t worry, it’s no trouble, I’ve been convincing myself I need to join ever since I was told you could become a member for just 11GBP per month and see as many movies as you wish free of charge… awesome! I thought. But then I got thinking, do I really go to the cinema that often?

Lets break it down. 11GBP a month is 2.75GBP a week, so to see one film a week it would cost 2.75GBP… I know, I know, it would cost the same to see an unlimited number of films per week, but lets say that pays for one ticket a week for simplicities sake. Don’t want to start any “Inifinite Monkeys” debates here or anything. Not yet anyway… So, one film a week. Now, if I wasn’t a member, this would cost me (conservatively) 4GBP a film, or 16GBP per month. So there is clearly a saving, but would I see one film a week if I could do so cheaply? Absofuckinglutely!!

Lets look at the films coming out later on this year that I will be seeing… Not to mention films out now that I can catch whilst they’re still showing (such as Rush Hour 3, Transformers : The Movie and Bourne Ultimatum). Firstly is probably my most hotly anticipated pick, I Am Legend, an apocolyptic, vampire-esque action flick starring Will Smith as the last human alive on earth… Sounds pretty incredible already doesn’t it, well just wait till you see the teaser (in Hi Def if you can) here. It will blow your mind. Seriously, a single scene in this epic New York shot movie is reported as costing a staggering 5 million bucks. A single scene!! Unbelievable. I’m running out of superlatives, it really is that amazing… So please, go see this film on December 14th, I urge you!!

Oh and just to wet your cinematic appetite, I heard on the grapevine that I, Robot 2 is on it’s way… Holy Hell, that will probably my single favorite film of 2008. Although I do love I, Robot, having seen it about 25 - 30 times since I bought the DVD on release day. Can’t get enough of that film!

So anyway, here’s the list of films I will be seeing in the near future. And don’t worry if you can’t get to watch them, I will be bringing my own wonderful brand of cruel opinion to the review of each… enjoy the trailers!
