Let’s see summer Movies 2004—kids of all ages: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" (June 4)
The Story: Trouble is once again a-brewin' as a more mature Harry (Daniel Radcliffe, now with a Barry White-esque voice) enters his third year at Hogwarts. Convicted murderer Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) has escaped Azkaban prison and is heading his way. Hermione (Emma Watson), Ron (Rupert Grint), and the rest of the Hogwarts gang are back, along with a few fresh faces, including Emma Thompson as kooky clairvoyant Professor Trelawney, David Thewlis as Professor Lupin, and Michael Gambon, who has the unenviable task of assuming Dumbledore's robes from the late Richard Harris.
The Skinny: Some balked when Alfonso Cuaron, the Mexican auteur behind the sexually charged "Y Tu Mama Tambien," was hired to take over the "Potter" franchise from Chris Columbus. But judging by the trailer, he brings the same lush magical realism to Hogwarts that he did to Miss Minchin's School for Girls in 1995's "The Little Princess."
More Kids Movies: Shrek 2" (May 19)
The Story: Newlyweds Shrek (Mike Myers) and Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) hit a snag on their way to "happily ever after." Mid-honeymoon, they detour -- Donkey (Eddie Murphy) in tow -- to visit her folks (John Cleese and Julie Andrews), the rulers of Far, Far Away (think Beverly Hills, complete with stretch carriages and Joan Rivers dishing on fairy-tale fashions). Horrified with his new son-in-law, Fiona's dad conspires with her Fairy Godmother ("Ab Fab'"s fab Jennifer Saunders) to get rid of the grumpy green ogre in favor of the smarmy Prince Charming (Rupert Everett). Enter feline assassin Puss-in-Boots (Antonio Banderas), who wields the ultimate weapon: big sad kitty eyes.
The Skinny: Budgeted at $70 million ($30 million of which went to Myers, Diaz and Murphy, who each pocketed $10 million to reprise their roles), this sequel to the smash Oscar-winning original ($1 billion in box office and video revenue) is such a surefire blockbuster that Part 3 is already in the works.
"Garfield" (June 11): The Story: Fur flies when sedentary Garfield (voiced by Bill Murray) is forced to get off his considerable keister to rescue airheaded pooch Odie from an evil dog trainer. Human element is provided by Breckin Meyer, as Garfield and Odie's owner Jon Arbuckle, and Jennifer Love Hewitt, who plays a bodacious veterinarian.
The Skinny: The cynical, lasagna-loving orange feline finally makes the leap from the comic page to the big screen in this CGI-and-live action mix, which seems squarely aimed at the pre-teen crowd. We love Murray, but hearing his voice come out of a creepy-looking, sunglass-wearing bloated cat makes our hair stand on end.
Moreover, here at the dawn of the 21st Century, an actor or actress seems to require only a single season as the star of a successful TV show in order to embark upon an equally successful Movies career. Jennifer Love Hewitt, Neve Campbell, James Van Der Beek, and Sarah Michelle Gellar are only a few recent examples. Jim Carrey merely appeared as one of the cast members on "In Living Color" and is now one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood.
In the 40s, 50s, and 60s, it was considered unusual for a Movies star to appear on TV. The truly big Hollywood legends would never think of doing a regular TV series. Picture Elizabeth Taylor and Cary Grant as the Beaver's parents. The mind reels. But in the early days of television, established Movies actors and actresses began making the switch to TV and stayed there. TV was a new medium, and needed talent. With a few exceptions, though, it was pretty much a one-way street.
Eventually, sometime or another, somebody has to imagine what a dinosaur looks like. Maybe it is a Paleontologist, maybe it is an Artist, maybe it is a Movie Maker, and maybe it is you. The "picture" of the dinosaur -- whether it is in our mind or on paper or celluloid motion picture Movies -- helps us to understand how these animals behaved. Ideas about how dinosaurs looked have changed over the years as our research improves. At one time, for example, some scientists thought that dinosaurs hopped like kangaroos. If a dinosaur in Jurassic Park did that, everybody would laugh.
There is a sort of partnership between paleontology and painting and movies: they help to define each other. The paleontologist digs up the bones, the artist paints a painting, and the filmmaker brings it to "life." Then everyone complains about how silly the movie dinosaurs look (or do they?) and little by little, things improve. If dinosaur paintings like those in the Paper Dinosaurs exhibit have helped us to learn about dinosaurs, so have Celluloid Dinosaurs, realistic and otherwise.
The only information we have about what might be the very first dinosaur movie, Prehistoric Man (1905 or 1908?) or Prehistoric Peeps, 1905(?), are the title and the possibility that they contain cartoon animation or mechanical dinosaurs Movies. There is a lost French film from 1909 based upon Jules Verne's A Journey to The Centre of The Earth that allegedly contains dinosaurs. So far, however, we cannot turn up any proof of this. And the acknowledged maestro of modern movies D.W. Griffith walks away with another milestone: Man's Genesis, 1912, which apparently contains the first verified dinosaur scene, though we haven't seen it ourselves. Brute Force, a sequel from 1913, was actually shown, in part, on the American Academy Awards show in 2000. There is no doubt that there is a big, clunky, mechanical dinosaur in that film!
