Movies in 2005 that I want to see and ones I might see

"Dark Water" (2005) Jennifer Connelly, John C. Reilly, Dougray Scott, Tim Roth

This movie will be released in theaters on July 8, 2005. This movie is a suspense thriller starring Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind, The Hulk, House of Sand and Fog) as Dahlia Williams, a mother who moves into a broken-down New York apartment with her daughter and they find some problems with water leaking in the apartment. I saw the preview for this movie with The Ring Two and I think it looks really good.

Rachel McAdams (Red Eye, Wedding Crashers, The Notebook, Mean Girls) plays Amy Stone. Diane Keaton plays the mother. I first saw a preview for this movie in theaters when I saw In Her Shoes and I think it looks really good.

This movie is an epic adventure based on the Crusades and is from Ridley Scott, director of Gladiator. Orlando Bloom plays a peasnt who becomes a knight and Eva Green plays a Princess of Jerusalem. I first saw the preview for this movie when I saw Constantine and I think that it looks really good.

This is the fourth film in the Harry Potter series and will be in theaters November 18, 2005. I finally saw the preview for this movie with Corpse Bride and it looks just awesome. I just know this movie is going to be awesome.

Comparable Movies: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

A Movie I might see

"Cinderella Man" (2005) Russell Crowe, Renee Zellweger, Paul Giamatti

This movie will be relased in theaters on June 3, 2005. This is the true story of Depression Era boxer James Braddock. I dont know if I will see this movie. It looks kind of boring. I might see it, because Renee Zellweger is in it and she is hot. I saw the preview for this movie with Meet the Fockers, Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous and The Interpreter. I doubt if I will see this movie, because I'm really not the biggest fan of movies about boxing.

Comparable Movies: Million Dollar Baby, Against the Ropes, Ali, Price of Glory, Seabiscuit, Road to Perdition, The Legend of Bagger Vance

A Movie I will absolutely not see

"Ice Princess" (2005) Joan Cusack, Kim Cattrall

This movie looks absolutely horrible. It looks like a rip-off of Miracle. I love Joan Cusack, but I will NOT see this movie, because it looks TOO girly.

Comparable Movies: Raise Your Voice, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen
