Movies I'm Looking Forward To

Film - Alice in Wonderland
Why I Want to See It - Directed by Tim Burton
Releases . . . who knows, just heard a virtual unknown has been cast as Alice

Film - Avatar
Why I Want to See It - James Cameron has been talking about this for YEARS and I am giddy about the return of 3D to movie theaters
Releases . . . 2009

Film - Burn After Reading
Why I Want to See It - The Coen Brothers next film (George Clooney also helps)
Releases . . . Sept 12th, 2008 see the hysterical trailer here

Film - Australia
Why I Want to See It - Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman star in a historical epic directed by Baz Lurhmann. See the cheezy trailer here. OK, I'll admit I also want to see The Edge of Love which you can check out here.
Releases . . . Nov 14th 2008 for Australia, not sure for The Edge of Love

Film - Savage Grace and Blindness
Why I Want to See It - I love Julianne Moore so much I wasted several hours of my life watching The Forgotten and Freedomland. Sure Children of Men helped even the score, but she still owes me another good one.
Releases . . . Savage Grace had a limited release this May but was totally off my radar until I saw this trailer. Blindness opens Sept 19th, 2008, creepy trailer is here

Film - He's Just Not That Into You
Why I Want to See It - I thought I would be more excited about the remake of The Women coming out later this year but after seeing the trailer for this I'm giving it my chick-flick slot.
Releases . . . Feb 2009, check out the trailer

Film - Changeling
Why I Want to See It - Angelina Jolie sometimes makes me wish I was a lesbian, oh wait, that's why I want to see Wanted. This one was also directed by Clint Eastwood.
Releases . . . Oct 31, 2008

Film - W
Why I Want to See It - Oliver Stone takes on the Prez. I don't think it will be a good movie, but I still want to see it, if only to see Richard Dreyfuss play Dick Cheney.
Releases . . . Oct 17, 2008

These are but a few of the films I am looking forward to seeing. What are you looking forward to?

They're remaking The Women? I don't know how I feel about that...

Personally I am caught up in the hype about The Dark Knight so I'm glad we'll be going to see it soon!
