Starring Charlize Theron, a welcome addition to the hot female action-adventure star list. A live-action movie can't possibly capture the sheer surrealism or bizarrely appealing grotesque angularity of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Aeon_Flux\">original animated series<\/a>, but it looks like they did a decent job of making Theron move in slightly inhuman ways at times.  I imagine it'll be mostly just a standard action movie&#8212;but hey, fun action-adventure starring Charlize Theron; what's not to like?  Opens December 2.<\/li>\n<li><cite><a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/trailers\/focus_features\/pride_and_prejudice.html\">Pride and Prejudice<\/a><\/cite>.  Huh. On the one hand, Keira Knightley! On the other hand, the preview calls it \"The story of a modern woman.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.\" And Matthew Macfadyen as Darcy is not especially impressive-looking.  But Donald Sutherland is well-cast as Mr. Bennet.  Still, I don't see it supplanting the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0112130\/\">BBC miniseries<\/a> (the Colin Firth one) as my favorite movie version.  Opens November 18.<\/li>\n<li><cite><a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/trailers\/wb\/v_for_vendetta\/\">V for Vendetta<\/a><\/cite>. Despite <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/V_for_Vendetta_%28film%29\">what Alan Moore said about the script<\/a> (\"It was imbecilic\"), I think the movie looks reasonably good.  And I think Natalie Portman is very well-cast as Evie, even though I'm not normally a big fan of hers.  Opens March 17, 2006.<\/li>\n<li><cite><a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/trailers\/disney\/thechroniclesofnarnia\/\">Chronicles of Narnia<\/a><\/cite>. I know I've mentioned this before, but I may as well mention it again. The preview is pretty magical, despite the obvious WETA\/LotR influence to the look; I so want this to be good.  Opens December 9.<\/li>\n<li><cite><a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/trailers\/dreamworks\/wallace_and_gromit\/\">Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were Rabbit<\/a><\/cite>.  I've seen this trailer too many times now to really appreciate it, but I'm definitely looking forward to the first feature-length W&amp;G movie.  Opens October 7.<\/li>\n<li><cite>Get Rich or Die Tryin'<\/cite>. I actually don't have much interest in seeing this movie; I'm mentioning it because I really like the image on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/gallery\/ss\/0430308\/Ss\/0430308\/GetRich450.jpg?path=gallery&path_key=0430308\">poster<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Stay tuned for more <cite>Last Unicorn<\/cite> movie info (and Beagle info); that deserves an entry of its own.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Been meaning to post about these for weeks.
