I have downloaded the new Matrix Reloaded teaser trailer, and although it's very brief and there's not much footage, it definitely made me say "I wanna see this now !"

Morpheus starts by saying :
"I believe it is our fate to be here...it is our DESTINY"
That really got me :)

2003 is still a long way off of course, still a lot of good (or potentially good) films coming out this year...

Spider-man, The Two Towers, another Harry Potter film, Minority Report.
Most intriguing is a film called Signs, with Mel Gibson and directed by the guy who did the Sixth Sense and Unbreakable.
This one looks seriously creepy.

quite a few of those sound worth seeing... esp. the matrix ones, Good Omens (class book... read it like 5 times...), True Lies 2 and X-men 2.

Other than LOTR I think the only other ones I'd want to watch would be Hulk (big fan of the comics) and the Matrix.

The others of course have the potential to be good but I'm not a betting man. The first X-Men was passable, I found Potter as dull as hell and Ben Affleck as Daredevil? Fooking 'ell.

Good Omens could be fantastic but again, it'll probably get the Hollywood treatment.
