My buddy Gerald and I auditioned for the part of the dog (he was the front, I took up the rear), but they claimed our costume wasn't quite what they were looking for. Christmas Cottage Director: Michael Campus Starring: Jared Padalecki, Peter O'Toole The story of how painter Thomas Kinkade was inspired to paint his beloved masterpiece The Christmas Cottage. No idea how they can stretch this into a two-hour movie, unless he paints really, really slow. Dr. Doolittle: First Dog Director: Craig Shapiro Starring: Kyla Pratt, Kristen Wilson This is actually the FIFTH sequel to a movie that really didn't need to be made in the first place. How did we go from Citizen Kane to this? Elegy Director: Isabel Coixet Starring: Penelope Cruz, Sir Ben Kingsley A respected professor begins an affair with a student, only to have jealousy transform him into a blood-thirsty, multi-tentacled flying cyclops. Okay, we made that last part up - but with sex scenes featuring a 64-year old Kingsley, this might actually turn out to be a bit of a horror movie. Far Cry (Based off the hit video game) Director: Uwe Boll Starring: Michael Pare Uwe Boll (BloodRayne, House of the Dead) is making a name for himself as Hollywood's preeminent director of crappy movies based on video games no one has heard of. He returns to Vancouver this summer to film the story of an ex-Special Ops agent who gets shot at and in turn shoots a bunch of people. Put the Academy on notice! Snow Demon Director: Paul Ziller Starring: ??? A man survives a plane crash, only to be stalked by a blood thirsty Yeti. I had a nightmare like this once, only I was chased by Barbara Walters. Tale of Two Sisters Director: ??? Starring: ??? A remake of a terrifying South Korean horror film about twin sisters who return from a mental institution only to deal with an evil, controling stepmother -oh, and a ghost. No word on whether or not they'll cast Mark-Kate and Ashley as the twin leads, but we can always hope and pray. They Came From Upstairs Director: Thor Freudenthal Starring: ??? A group of kids must protect their vacation home from invading aliens. Overcoming the unimaginable distances between galaxies? No Problem! Defeating some punk kids holed up in a cabin? Big Obstacle! Tortured Director: Nolan Lebovitz Starring: Laurence Fishburne, Cole Hauser Torn from the headlines! An FBI agent is torn after his superiors tell him to torture the head of a crime syndicate. We wonder if any of that torturing involves making the guy watch Fishburne in the last two Matrix sequels? Tin Man Director: Nick Willing Starring: Kathleen Robertson, Richard Dreyfuss A new, trippy, sci-fi version of the old-tyme classic "The Wizard of Oz". Who else is surprised they haven't already done a remake of this? This time around, Dorothy's trip to Oz will apparently run a bit longer, as this is scheduled to be released as a mini-series. Trouble Man Director: Thomas Dey Starring: Chris Tucker, Eva Mendes Chris Tucker takes time out of his busy shcedule (lately consisting mostly of rolling around in all his Rush Hour money) to star in this comedy about an undercover agent who gets mixed up with a woman whose past is littered with failed relationships. Lovers of mediocre action comedies are encouraged to start lining up now. Watchmen Director: Zack Snyder Starring: Gerald Butler Zack Snyder's follow up to his smash hit 300, this dark movie inspired by a graphic novel (as is just about every other movie made these days) tells the story of a man investigating the murder of an ex-super hero. As he digs deeper, our man finds that there is more than just capes and tights in the closets of these "heroes"
