Cinema: May 2007 Archives

I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean last night (possibly more on that later). Of course before the film there were several trailers, which I always enjoy. So what does summer 2007 have in store for us? There's the new Harry Potter, Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix 12th July, but before that there's Shrek The Third on June 29th. I'm not sure if the second instalment of the Fantastic Four (Fantastic Four 2 Rise of the Silver Surfer) which is being released on June 15th is going to be worth watching, though it does star Jessica Alba.... The ones I'm really looking forward to, apart from the Harry Potter, are of course Die Hard 4.0 (4th July), The Bourne Ultimatum (17th August) and Resident Evil: Extinction (21st September). They're all sequels, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing NOTE: All release dates mentioned are for Ireland

Amazon (US) has been offering downloadable films and tv series for the last few months, although they are not available to Irish consumers. So what about Europeans? We can access hardcore adult video streams without any issues, but what about "tamer" selections? Earlier this evening DVD.it emailed me to let me know that they are now offering films from a mere €2.99. The selection isn't exactly amazing, but it's a good start. The only downside is that you need to speak fluent Italian! :)
