Here are just a few that have been on or just recently added to my "must see" list:

Matrix Reloaded (5/15/03)- this is already looking like the must see action flick this spring.
<a href="http://www.thematrix.com" target="_blank">www.thematrix.com</a>

X-MEN 2 (5/2/03)- loved the first but was left wanting more...this should fill the void.
<a href="http://www.x2-movie.com" target="_blank">www.x2-movie.com</a>

The Hulk (6/20/30)- since X-MEN & Spiderman comic book movies are bringing in big loot, The Hulk will be no different.
<a href="http://www.thehulk.com" target="_blank">www.thehulk.com</a>

The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (12/12/03?)- Two Towers was a great movie but fans of the book (like me) left the theatre with a big wtf, lets hope that Peter Jackson stays more "true to the book" in the final installment.
<a href="http://www.lordoftherings.net" target="_blank">www.lordoftherings.net</a>

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (?)- Sean Connery in an X-MENish flick = success in my eyes.
<a href="http://www.lxgmovie.com" target="_blank">www.lxgmovie.com</a>

Van Helsing (?)- Hugh Jackman(TBA) plays the role of Van Helsing(Anthony Hopkins - Brahm Stokers Dracula) as he is summoned to fight the classic horror icons: Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Werewolf. Rock on...
<a href="http://www.vanhelsing.net/main.html" target="_blank">www.vanhelsing.net/main.html</a>

Bulletproof Monk (4/16/03)- Chow Yun-Fat & Sean William Scott = action and laughs aplenty.
<a href="http://www.bulletproofmonk.com" target="_blank">www.bulletproofmonk.com</a>

Bruce Almighty (5/23/03)- Jim Carrey back to "type cast" form which means it should be a winner.
<a href="http://www.brucealmighty.com/index.html?__source=UPMN" target="_blank">www.brucealmighty.com/index.html?__source=UPMN</a>

Honorable Mention:
The Italian Job (5/30/03)- an action movie with an all-star cast that includes Mark Wahlberg, Jason Stratham, Edward Norton Jr, Seth Green, Charlize Theron, and Donald Sutherland = hugh bank potential.

The Amazing Spider-Man(Spiderman 2)- loved the first...looking forward to the second in 2004.

Freddy vs. Jason (6/13/03)- all I have to say is...its about damn time.

Star Wars: Circle of Force(Episode III)- get it over with all ready.

Terminator 3:Rise of the Machines (7/2/03)- meh...its a Schwarzenegger sci-fi, based on that I'll see it at least once.

Tenacious D:The movie- I'm a fan of the D...nuff said.

Cradle 2 The Grave (5/28/03)- Jet Li = gotta see it once.

Willard (3/21/03)- McFly(Crispin Glover) and rats for friends = good times.

Shaolin Soccer (4/11/03)- titles says it all.

...lol, did I miss anything?

Definate must see as soon as it hits the theatre.

Shadowland:

<a href="http://www.x2-movie.com" target="_blank">www.x2-movie.com</a>
I could actually wait until this makes it to DVD like the first one before I see it.

Shadowland:

The Hulk (6/20/30)- since X-MEN & Spiderman comic book movies are bringing in big loot, The Hulk will be no different.
<a href="http://www.thehulk.com" target="_blank">www.thehulk.com</a>
All I can say is if this is anywhere near as good as the two trailers I have seen then DAMN!!

Shadowland:

The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (12/12/03?)- Two Towers was a great movie but fans of the book (like me) left the theatre with a big wtf, lets hope that Peter Jackson stays more "true to the book" in the final installment.
<a href="http://www.lordoftherings.net" target="_blank">www.lordoftherings.net</a>
This is a no brainer must been seen in the theatre atleast once.

Shadowland:

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (?)- Sean Connery in an X-MENish flick = success in my eyes.
<a href="http://www.lxgmovie.com" target="_blank">www.lxgmovie.com</a>
They seem to be scratching at the bottom of the comic book barrel on this one. IMHO!

Shadowland:

Van Helsing (?)- Hugh Jackman(TBA) plays the role of Van Helsing(Anthony Hopkins - Brahm Stokers Dracula) as he is summoned to fight the classic horror icons: Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Werewolf. Rock on...
<a href="http://www.vanhelsing.net/main.html" target="_blank">www.vanhelsing.net/main.html</a>
First I have seen of this one does look very promising.

Shadowland:

Bulletproof Monk (4/16/03)- Chow Yun-Fat & Sean William Scott = action and laughs aplenty.
<a href="http://www.bulletproofmonk.com" target="_blank">www.bulletproofmonk.com</a>
All I have to say is Chow Yun Fat kicks ass. This looks like a really cool film.

Shadowland:

Bruce Almighty (5/23/03)- Jim Carrey back to "type cast" form which means it should be a winner.
<a href="http://www.brucealmighty.com/index.html?__source=UPMN" target="_blank">www.brucealmighty.com/index.html?__source=UPMN</a>
I can almost hear the religous right complaining about this one. But I think it looks like it can be really funny. I have to see this.

Shadowland:

Honorable Mention:
The Italian Job (5/30/03)- an action movie with an all-star cast that includes Mark Wahlberg, Jason Stratham, Edward Norton Jr, Seth Green, Charlize Theron, and Donald Sutherland = hugh bank potential.
Never heard of this but some pretty good names in it.

Shadowland:

The Amazing Spider-Man(Spiderman 2)- loved the first...looking forward to the second in 2004.
Wonder who is the bad guy this time around.

Shadowland:

Freddy vs. Jason (6/13/03)- all I have to say is...its about damn time.
This is one of the signs of the appocalypse right?
Next it will be Freddy and Jason vs Godzilla!

Shadowland:

Star Wars: Circle of Force(Episode III)- get it over with all ready.
Will they finally get around to the wholesale slaughter of Jedi Knights?

Shadowland:

Terminator 3:Rise of the Machines (7/2/03)- meh...its a Schwarzenegger sci-fi, based on that I'll see it at least once.
You know you want Arnie!

Shadowland:

Tenacious D:The movie- I'm a fan of the D...nuff said.
? What ? Have no clue.
Shadowland:

Cradle 2 The Grave (5/28/03)- Jet Li = gotta see it once.
Jet Li is probably the only reason to see this movie.

Shadowland:

Willard (3/21/03)- McFly(Crispin Glover) and rats for friends = good times.
Again WHAT?

Shadowland:

Shaolin Soccer (4/11/03)- titles says it all.
Ok is this like the old 80's chop socky movies?

Shadowland:

...lol, did I miss anything?

Doctor Octopus is set to be the next baddie in Spider-Man 2. Tenacious D is a two-man band consisting of Jack Black and Kevin Gass. McFly(Back To The Future/Charlie's Angels - Crispin Glover a.k.a - McFly/creepy thin man).

House of 1000 Corpses?...that's Rob Zombie's work isn't it? Bad Boys 2 might be good, we'll see. And I completely forgot about the Charlie's Angels sequel...yummy.

Actually it's a pretty heavily acclamied comic written by Alan Moore AKA God.

I think the trailer looked pretty shitty though.

Kill Bill, if it's released this year...
Likewise, hence the quote in my sig. One of the best scripts I've ever read.
your sig comes from a Sonny Chiba movie - samurai reincarnation.

Of course, Quentin is a huge Sonny Chiba fan.

Well Alan Moore much like Steven King seems to be sucking ass these days. I have the first issues of that book and it's not much to sing praises about. IMHO!

"Gods and Generals" is apparently a bonafide piece of crap. I had a feeling it was since they didn't try and release it for Oscar contention. The rotten tomatoes meter gave it 8% (0% cream of the crop).

My favorite quote:

SF Chronicle:
"If one were to watch the movie with no knowledge of history, one could be left with the impression that in 1861, a maniac named Lincoln decided to arm federal troops and attack neighboring states because he felt like it."

Another good one (NY Times):
"War may be hell (and in fairness to the movie, its battle scenes are moderately gory), but "Gods and Generals" makes going to war feel like going to church."

Dude, I cannot believe someone's going to remake Dawn of the Dead. If I'm remembering correctly, I read that even George A. Romero (the original director) is unhappy about this. Dawn of the Dead kicks ass, who ever is directing the updated version better not fuck it up.
