And of course....

I'm actually waiting for Shrek 3 which will be released in 2007. Shrek 1 and 2 were some of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

funniest movies ever? i really didnt think shrek 2 was THAT funny. the end was pretty hilarious, but the rest of the movie was sorta ho-hum. shrek 1 is a classic though.
the 2 top movies of summer 2004 were shrek 2 and spiderman 2. the 2 top movies of summer 2007 will undoubtebly be shrek 3 and spiderman 3. hollywood is just so predictable...
The Departed looks like it'll be a winner.

Children of Men
directed by Alfonso Cuaron
quote:
Directed by stylish Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón, Children of Men is is the latest in a series of dystopian visions of a totalitarian society that isn’t actually so far away. It’s a cheap buck that appeals to the “Oh gosh, isn’t George Bush awful?” Banksy appreciating market, but really that market should be bloody well ashamed of itself if it swallows this sort of e. Children of Men begins with the premise that human beings can no longer reproduce, and since then the world has gone to something awful, or as they put it, ‘No children, no future, no hope.’ In the face of a totalitarian state, public loyalty is maintained by the criminalisation of foreigners and the odd bomb-blast. And aren’t we shocked when someone suggest that the bombers may actually be the government in disguise!! So far, so typical.
We step around these mean streets with Clive Owens who slots in as the stereotypical disillusioned former activist, sighing about the awfulness of it all as he sips his coffee and grieves over his long dead son. Michael Caine throws away what little dignity he had left by appearing as a bearded old hippy whose wife has been tortured into catatonia by MI5, for some reason (we assume it’s cos she’s a little bit left). In fact, the first sequence with Caine is what started me hating the whole thing, summing up the political depth of the implied critique by the soundtrack of Radiohead and the Beatles; might as well have namechecked George Monbiot while they were at it.
Owens’s little world is torn apart by the re-appearance of long lost lover Julian (played by Julianne Moore) who is now the leader of a group of terrorists/freedom fighters (with the catchy name of ‘the Fishes’) battling against the tyranny of the system, man. Julian, who luckily managed to take a GHD with her when she went underground, needs him to smuggle a refugee girl to somewhere for reasons undisclosed, he spends about half a second in inner turmoil before he signs up, and off they go. Unsurprisingly after a few pathetically contrived reminiscences about their good old days living in squats and taking ketamine, they get back to eating the faces off each other with abandon.
Before they can get gone they’re ambushed in the woods by a gang of eco-crusties who just do that sort of thing apparently. Julian gets herself shot and the gang retreat to a farm used as a safehouse by the aforementioned freedom fighters. Here it transpires that all is not as it seems (once again) and even the nice Fishes are not to be trusted. We also find out that the girl is pregnant, and as such is the hope for humanity and has to be carried away to some chaps called ‘The Human Project’. Clive decides that it’s time he took charge of the girl himself and off they go again.
i think its a really interesting premise and hopefully there is a lot of substance throughout the 2 hours of film. The book had a lot of cool facts about "their" government and society in the first two chapters and then it just wandered off into personal stories and memories.
and from what I've heard of the movies ending "twist": they reach the human project. But one of the scientists instantly puts a gun to her head and blows her brains out. The revelation is that the scientists felt humans were a disease on the planet and were the ones who masterminded human's infertility. They used a ploy to bring the girl to them to find out why she rejected the process. Owen goes back to utter despair. :(
