The list of "Films I Want To See" is at an all-time high:

Treasure Planet
Harry Potter II
Star Trek: Nemesis
Solaris
The Two Towers

I often go six months at a stretch without even considering going to the cinema, and now there are five in the space of two months? I don't have time to go that often.

Heh. I know what you mean. Several of those are on our list, too; goodness knows when we'll make time to see them. We're so bad at doing that!

Around our house Harry Potter 2, The Two Towers, and ST:NEmesis were givens.

We saw HP2 the day it opened and it was as impressive as the first if not more so. Once again, they were faithful to the novel.

ST:N looks interesting even though I haven't seen much about it except in trailers. Of course, with The Two Towers a shoe-in for the X-mas box-office, that'll hurt overall receipts for ST:Nemisis, who (from what I've read) is counting on opening day sales figures to determine if antoher "Next Generation" movie will be made or not.

I saw the movie trailer for Treasure Planet when Joyce and I went to see Santa Clause 2 a couple weeks ago. I wasn't too keen on it right off, but the more I see the TV trailers, the more interesting it gets.

Solaris hasn't impressed me yet and I don't know why. I like Lem, and have carried a copy of _Last_and_First_Men_, and _Starmaker_ around in my library for years, with ...Men) being a favorite of mine.

Good luck with your movie viewing - you'll have to let us know how Solaris was

Is this a new version of Solaris? I really like the old one - very dreamy. It's one of my Dad's favourite films, so he made me watch it at some point.

I think it must be new... it was reviewed in Salon, and George Clooney's in it?

That sounds... ominous.

We are keeping Treasure Planet in a seperate category. Here it is going to play at the IMax instead of the normal cinema. Now if they could just do Two Towers and/or Nemesis there

Wonderful article about "The Two Towers" in the most recent edition of TIME Magazine. I'm ready!!!!! "Treasure Planet" has been getting some very good reviews...mixed reviews for Solaris. Managed to catch Harry Potter II and found it as fun as the first, but a wee bit more intense and darker in some ways. Enjoy!

I don't know what Solaris is about but if you go and see Chamber of Secrets you will see Mandrakes... :D
