Guest Post on Neerav Bhatt's Rambling Thoughts Blog

February 18th 2008 03:12

I was invited to write a guest post on Rambling Thoughts Blog, one of the most highly trafficked blogs in Australia. It's moderated by Neerav Bhatt, who has done a remarkable job building up his blog and pulling in content from guests on a wide variety of topics.

He asked me to write an article on movies coming out in 2008 that we can all look forward to, which I did, largely ignoring the big guns: Indiana Jones, Wall-E, Ironman. Instead, I put up a list of movies that probably won't go big (except for "The Dark Knight"), but will be savagely enjoyed - by me.

I mean, I'd love to see Depp in "The Rum Diary" and I'm tremendously excited to see "Still Life". These are movies that might not appeal to most audiences, but, really, there's no reason they shouldn't.

Check the article out:

Movies to watch for in 2008!

Another feather in your growing chiefton's headdress.

Thoroughly enjoyed your post - and congrats - fame appears to be finding you - fortune . . . well that's another story I suspect.

Cheers

thanks Mis, MNG - while it's hardly fame, and fortune seems to have forgotten to stop by my house, it's always good to promote yourself!

Cib,

I enjoyed your review, too.

I am excited to learn that Depp has been chosen for another real life role. To me, Blow was one of the best biographical films made, and Depp one of the most versatile actors to carry it off, so well.

Batman and Indiana are also exciting for an actionphile.

But I am particularly interested by your words on the Three Gorges Dam Project and actually seeing this one and am grateful for the heads-up.

Isn't Wonder Woman due this year, or was that 2009?

Lilla ...

thanks Lilla - there's an error on the post... the movie isn't called "Three Gorges Dam Project", it's "Still Life"... I'm planning to see it soon and post a review here!

there's interest in a Wonder Woman movie, but I don't know if it'll actually come out...

Don't quote me, because I really don;t pay that much attention, but I thought I saw a model doing her last catwalk show, becuase she had been chosen to play the lead role, as Wonder Woman ...

A snippet piece on the news about a week ago?

Fixed the Three Gorges formatting error. Thanks again for the article

1 or 2 promo photos would be fine, perhaps some movie posters?

PS I thought Megan Gale was going to be Wonder Woman in an upcoming movie?

That's Megan Gale, Lilla...

She's given up her modelling career with David Jones (kinda sad I won't see her posted up everywhere anymore... yeah I liked her) for the lead role as Wonder Woman.

I guess she has more roles in the pipeline, why would she quit? MORE makeup?

Cib - did they ask for an encore? let us know.

Thanks Opto,

Megan Gale, I'll try and remember, but names are not my forte... thanks. Glad I wasn't dreaming

Can't always tell at my age, you know. *chuckle* But that reminds me that I am really looking forward to the new Get Smart movie too, I reckon it'll either fly, or 'miss by that much." ((laughs)) There can be no halfway measure with such an icon, can there?

Thanks Cib, for the update on the Three Gorges too, so many good ones to look forward to, this year and of course, for Potter fans... wow another round and more of the mystery of his lineage revealed ... woo hoo for me, because I gave up reading the books, due to the maddening back-tracking.

There's that 10,000bc too... something different?

I heartily look forward to your review on 'Still Life.'

Cheers

Lilla ...

lilla - yes, megan gale was hooked to play Wonder Woman, but I thought that I read the future of the project was in potential jeopardy because of the writer's strike? is it still on?

thank lara - I think my anticipated movies will change quite a bit as the year goes on...!

Opto - lots of interesting things happening in the future - stay tuned!

thanks for the list, JD... I have not seen even one movie by David Mamet! I'd have to remedy that...

For Mamet I suggest you start with Glengarry Glenross which he wrote. For Directing I would go with House of Games as a good beginning.
