Coming Attractions

Truth be told, I'm a huge fan of cinema. Sadly, while I am away at college, there are no movie theatres nearby. I tend to fall behind on what is new and coming out, especially because I don't watch TV in college either. I'm going to take a few minutes to look at some movies that are coming out that I am interested in, if nothing more than a reference for myself.

American Gangster
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0765429/trailers-me60061652
In my younger years this movie might not have appealed to me, but I have to say it looks interesting. I'll likely give it a look see eventually.

Hitman
Yeah, the movie probably wont be that great, but I love the game so I might as well give it a shot.

Awake
Its not necessarily the movie but Hayden Christensen that I want to see in this. I heard he's a really great actor, and his work in the Star Wars series was due to George Lucas's direction. I really want to see what Christensen is capable of.

The Golden Compass
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385752/trailers-me60480803
This seems to be straight up goodness. Not much more to say than this will likely be one of the bigger movies to come out in a while.

I Am Legend
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480249/trailers-screenplay-E33164-310
I don't know anyone who would speak ill of Will Smith. He's a great actor who has stared in some of the most popular movies in the last decade. This movies seems like it'll be another good success. Apparently he will be fighting zombies/vampires. Will Smith + post apocolyptic NYC + Vampires = solid entertainment.

Youth Without Youth
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0481797/trailers-me60459433
I'm not sure what to make of this movie yet since I don't know much about it, but I do know two themes include immortality and time which is enough to catch my eye.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408236/trailers-screenplay-E35334-314
It seems a lot of movies I'm looking at lately draw me because of the actors. This happened again. Not only am I a huge Johny Depp fan, but I love Alan Rickman too. I haven't yet disliked a Tim Burton film, the number among my favorites infact. Couple that with my growing fixation on madmen the likes of The Joker, this movie will likely be my next big fixation.

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem
I'm sad to admit I want to see this, especially after how much I was dissapointed with the first. However, I still love each franchise.

Cassandra's Dream
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0795493/trailers-screenplay-E36088-314
Like American Gangster, I wouldn't have been drawn to this type of movie when I was younger. I won't be jumping to see this movie in theatres, but I'll definatly make an effort to see it.

One Missed Call
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0479968/trailers-me60641262
I'm a huge horror fan, and there is little to get excited about in this day and age. This looks like it'll be in the vain of The Grudge and the Ring, all of which based off of Japanese Horrors. I don't know, though, might be one too many movies of this type.

Cloverfield
While I don't know if my desire to see it will last (due mostly to the fact little is known), a monster movie set in New York definatly has me interested.

The Air I Breathe
Based off of a Chinese proverb, it seems like it'll definatly be something new. I always like movies this pretentious.

The Eye
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0406759/trailers-screenplay-E35391-314
What sold me was the trailer. I'll have to look into this a bit more.

In Bruges
I always find hitmen interesting. While a quick IMDB summary is all I've read, it's on the list for now.

Pathology
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0964539/trailers-screenplay-E35135-314
I wasn't too excited after reading the summary, but the trailer made me have a second glance. Damn, way too many movies listed here have to deal with murder.

Jumper
http://www.jumperthemovie.com/
Part of me things this may be a typical Hollywood movie, the other half tells me Sam Jackson and Hayden Christensen are in it. Hmm...


10,000 B.C.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443649/trailers-screenplay-E33985-314
I'm not super excited to see this yet, but it looks like it might be worth a glance.

Iron Man
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371746/trailers-screenplay-E34667-314
The next big super hero film, why not just be a slave to its popularity? It actually seems like it'll be pretty good. Any non-Superman super hero movie will be good after Spiderman 3. I can be wrong, however...

Indiana Jones andthe Kingdom of Crystal Skulls
Do I have a reason not to see this movie (answer: no)

The Incredible Hulk
Lol, remaking a Hulk film so soon just made me laugh, Ed Norton is attatched, so I might actually see it.

The Dark Knight
If you don't go see this movie I will put the Joker makeup on, come to your house, and re-enact the best seen of Resevoir Dogs on you.

Well, hope you enjoyed that. I'm guessing several movies will drop and then be added to this list, especially seeing its late and my judgement isn't that sound. Oh well, g'night all.
