Ditto for Marvel dipping into the vault for "Iron Man" (isn't Robert Downey Jr. perfect casting?) And I have a soft spot for the Harry Potter series, which delivers consistently and should post the big number in November. <BR/><BR/>But what I am really waiting for in 2008 is any movie at all that generates some serious, passionate devotion in my movie-going soul. As good as 2007 was, it failed to deliver for me a movie that made me want to say, "This is why I go to the theaters and plunk down a sawbuck!" I liked 2007 a whole lot...but I miss the love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-76313434164973012912008-01-27T00:16:00.000-05:002008-01-27T00:16:00.000-05:00Miracle at St. Anna.
