A number of somewhat promising movies are set for a 2005 release. 2005 doesn't seem to quite have the magic as 2004 though. But mark your calendars for:

02/11/05: Constantine. Keanu Reeves tries his hand at superhero status.

02/18/05: The Interpreter. Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn team up in an assassination thriller.

03/11/05: Robots. An animated version of Ice Age but with Robots.

03/11/05: Sound of Thunder. Another Time Travel movie but with more adventure.

03/18/05: Cinderella Man. Based on a true story of a boxer, Russell Crowes tries a different character this time.

04/01/05: Sin City. A star-studded crime drama (perhaps trying to play off of the success of "Traffic").

06/03/05: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Sleeper movie of romance and adventure.

06/03/05: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The most unusual and perhaps one of the more riskier attempts at adaptation of an odd sci fi novel onto the big screen.

09/16/05: A Scanner Darkly. Keanu Reeves tries another sci fi vehicle.

09/30/05: Jarhead. A war movie that's more personal.

11/04/05: American Gangster. Denzel Washington and Benicio Del Toro star in this story about a real heroin kingpin.

11/23/05: The Brothers Grimm. A darker more serious fairy tale.

12/02/05: The Great Raid. Another Attempt at a war rescue movie.

12/21/05: The Producers. Can the Broadway actors recreate the magic?

12/25/05: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.

I'm glossing over Star Wars & Harry Potter this year.
