<p>wow. 28 seemingly unoriginal ideas for movies. but at least i'm actually looking forward to seeing almost half of them. or at least i'm hoping they'll be good.</p>

<p>i really want to see "memoirs of geisha" 12/9 and "corpse bride" 9/23, which thankfully don't fit into any of the previous categories.</p>

<p>anyway, what to you guys/girls think?</p>

<p>Memoirs</a> of a Geisha by Arthur Golden</p>

<p>I heard that Saw was a joke.. my friends said that they laughed through the whole movie.. hahhaha Saw II.. wonder how that's gonna turn out like.</p>

<p>I'm not really keen on the Harry potter movies. The books are fab but i hate the films. The cast is stupid and my butt gets really sore cos it's too long.</p>

<p>Jurrasic park 4?? 3 was bad. 1 and 2 were good though.</p>

<p>SUPERMAN?????????????????????? omg loser superhero along with batman. the only one i like is spiderman.</p>

<p>I'm keen on Mission impossible 3! i've seen 1 but not 2..</p>

<p>Ammytiville-terrible</p>

<p>What about Enders Game..... I dont know when that is coming out.</p>

<p>ooops, didnt know memoirs of geisha was a book. haven't heard of enders game. and yes ammytiville horror sucked.</p>

<ol>
<li>ammytiville</li>
<li>memoirs of geisha</li>
<li>enders game</li>
</ol>

<p>saw II.... wow i can't believe they're making another one... can someone say bust?</p>

<p>"Ammytiville-terrible"</p>

<p>Wow, i murdered that word!</p>

<p>haha. i didn't know how to spell it either so i just copied you. double homicide.</p>

<p>Wasn't Godfather Part II the only "good" sequel? I'm pretty sure the film could stand alone as an excellent film, if not a classic (BTW, I'm not counting Lord of the Rings, as the book is really one volume and so are the movies).</p>

<p>well, i was bored and decided to give my opinions of the movies i have seen under the the sequel, prequel, and whatnot category...now that 2005's over</p>

<p>ones that i saw
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith...good
Batman Begins...good
Ring 2...bad (only saw part of it)
Charlie and the Chocolate factory...bad. i can't believe how boring and plain crap it was.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire...good
Chronicles of Narnia...death. holy jesus that movie sucked balls.
King kong...ok/good. it was entertaining</p>

<p>ones i still want to seem,even though i know and heard that they suck
Saw II.
Legend of Zorro
Brothers Grimm.</p>

<p>ones i would rather gouge my eyes out than watch
Son of the mask
Deuce bigalow
Dukes of Hazzard
The Transporter II</p>

<p>how did herbie fully loaded not make the list?-The last moments of Lindsay Lohan's hotness</p>

<p>Harry Potter should also be on the list, since it is a sequel and a book.</p>

<p>Brokeback Mountain (Heath ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal are gay cowboys) should also be on the list, it was a short story.</p>

<p>I saw a couple of screen shots of the superman one..
The superman guy looked really.. un-superman.
And i think Rachel Mcadams is playing the female lead.. (or Kirsten Dunst?) and her hair is really bad.. actually i think its kirsten dunst.. uh i dont know. the girl just looked really boring.</p>

<p>Cheaper by the Dozen II should also be on there...I think this came out last year, but the one that came before that Cheaper by the Dozen was also a remake! I didn't know what until I was cruising channels and saw Cheaper by the Dozen...but it was on like AMC or TMC or FMC...one of those MC channels...and yeah...it was old :rolleyes:</p>

<p>I just saw a commercial and they're making a sequal to Big Mamma's House!</p>

<p>I think they're making a sequel to Underworld.</p>

<p>you can find a list of movies based on books here. they are categorized by years.</p>

<p>The Longest Yard and Bad News Bears are two more remakes to be added</p>

<p>And Fantastic Four is based off comics, does that count?</p>
