My pick is the Stepford Wives. Ignore the critics, they're wrong. The Stepford Wives was funny, witty, clever, and interesting. Bette Midler was excellent, and let's face it, Christopher Walken is in it. Not to mention Yoda is the director.
The Chronicles of Riddick: I liked it, but I'm not gonna go around recommending it. This one is only for those who really liked Pitch Black, and even then, I can't guarantee you will like it. I liked it because it had all the elements that I was looking for, particularly originality/imagination. I give them major props, because it takes some major imagination to come up with that kind of mythology. But unfortunately, Vin Diesel still can't act. You need to be able to endure some B-Movie acting in order to like this movie, the only good performer in it was Judi Dench. But once again, I liked it.
Garfield: I haven't seen it all the way through, but I have seen a vast majority of it, and have this to say. It's not funny. At all. What it does have going for it, the 2 C's: Cute and Clever... just not funny. The CG rendering of Garfield is ugly; they should have used a real cat. But if you want to see Odie dance on his hind legs, check it out. If you like "cute" movies, you will like Garfield. But if you're looking for another Shrek, look elsewhere.

A very good poll, Smitty, but it may take me some time to reply to it properly: Riddick ain't going to be released in Poland this month. But this one is definitely the most eagerly awaited by me from the poll titles. I don't think I'll ever see Garfield.

I haven't seen any of these movies yet, so I can't vote. I'll probably see 'Riddick' this weekend, don't know if I'll see 'Stepford Wives' & I'll probably wait until 'Garfield' comes out on dvd & watch it w/ the kids. But the one I'm most excited about seeing is 'Riddick' if that counts for anything. Sure, it may suck but at least I'll get to eyeball Vin for awhile.
