the films,

last year was an excellent year for film. the intelligent and the indie shone, taking advantage of the lack of big box office hits (enchanted aside, fucking love that movie despite the naysayers). but this year the blockbuster reigns supreme and this summer brings in the big guns, with some long anticipated titles and a different kind of indy. here's the few i can't wait for.

WALL.E

pixar's newest looks like a return to their witty charming best (cars was a misstep in my books) and when on their game, no one comes close. i was ecstatic to hear of the return of disney's traditional animation studio but disney is close to my heart whatever the medium. monsters inc and toy story remain two of my favourite films of all time.

THE DARK KNIGHT

batman begins was the glorius return of the coolest superhero out. with heath ledger's last substantial role as the joker, the dark knight looks likely to top it's predecessor.

TROPIC THUNDER

the heartbreak kid was unforgivable but without speaking too prematurely, he looks like he's got his mojo back. a return to the silly ironic mould of dodgeball, tropic thunder is backed up by jack black and robert downey jnr in what looks like the funniest comedy character in years, yes he is playing a black man. or he's playing an actor playing a black man. it's convaluted but it's shaping up to be fucking hilarious.

PINEAPPLE EXPRESS

knocked up, tied with superbad was last year's most piss-yourself-funny comedy. seth rogen and judd apatow are comedic geniuses, lucky they're respectively starring in and writing pineapple express then. weed dealer takes on the man. you know that's going to be golden. you know it.

INDIANA JONES AT THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL

dr jones! dr jones! can't shitting wait.

THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELLING PANTS 2

if you know me you'll know that i have a strange sense of humour, i am a funny fuck, just in a strange way. but you'll also know that i'm not actually joking with this one. the two most gorgeous american's from my two guilty tv pleasures. no not ugly betty, she's a bint. alexis bledel from gilmore girls and blake lively from the no-replacement-for-gilmore-girl-but-actually-pretty-damn-good gossip girl, i'm going to be in a cinema full of 10 year old girls with an erection. alexis + blake = rager. i'm not joking.
