Upcoming Flicks

There are quite a few good action-adventure films here or coming up in the next few weeks prior to the 'biggies' like Return of the King or Matrix Revolutions. Hope to catch 'em all...
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines is the latest installment of the OTHER man vs. machine franchise. It stars, once again, Arnold Schwarzenegger as an old model Terminator sent back in time to protect the human race from a similarly-transported EVIL terminator. Unfortunately, this time around the bad guy's a girl- a Terminatrix, or T-X to be exact. MAJOR action and carnage is expected all around. I've heard good things about this film from a couple of friends who've already seen it. Have to say I really wasn't interested in this flick some time ago. Now I want to see it. Bad.
Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl is a swashbuckling adventure starring Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Geoffrey Rush. It has cannon battles, swordfights, babes in corsets, undead pirates, pirate gold and everything a growing boy needs. Don't know yet when this flick hits theaters here in Manila, but I am a-waiting...
Tomb Raider 2: Cradle of Life has totally underwhelmed me with it's boring trailer. But this sequel DOES have Angelina Jolie, whom I'd pay to watch even if she's just having a pedicure... so... Oh well.

Will try to get to see T3 over the weekend, by hook or by crook. Maybe the DVD pirates have a couple of the other films in stock already... Heh...
