Transformers II coming in June this year.

[Snoogans]

Definately not Mall Cop

[GreatAmericanZero]

ok here are films that interest me during the first look through of the 2009 films wiki pages

"The Watchmen" - gotta see it, but i just read the graphic novel and it looks exactly the same

"This Side of Truth" - Thats the new Ricky Gervais movie that co-stars Louie CK. i'm sold

"Bruno" - new Sasha Baron Coen Borat-y movie

"Terminator Salvation" - maybe it will make me forget about T3

"The Year One" - Harold Ramis directs Apatow regulars in a movie about Jack Black in biblical times

"Funny People" - Judd Apatow directs Seth Rogen and Adam Sandler doing stuff

"Inglorious Basterds" - cuz Quentin Tarantino rules

"Where the Wild Things Are" - don't like kids movies, but i'll see anything with Spike Jonze's name attatched

"Fantastic Mr. Fox" - see above but replace "Spike Jonze" name with "Wes Anderson"

"The Lovely Bones" - so far i've loved everything Peter Jackson has done (and i loved King Kong more than any of the Lords of the Rings movies)

"I Love You Phillip Morris" - a movie about Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor having gay sex in prison. From the people who made "Bad Santa" i'm curious!

"The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus"- everytime Terry Gilliam gets a film completed its a miracle so it must be seen

"Public Enemies" -Michael Mann directing Johnny Depp and Christian Bale in an old school Gangster Movie, sounds great!

"Shutter Island" or "Ashecliffe" - whatever its called, if Scorsese is directing i'm interested



Movies that i have no interest in seeing

The New Star Trek - fuck that
The New Harry Potter - fuck that
The New Sherlocke Holmes - fuck that. everything Guy Ritchie ever made sucked
"Not Another Not Another Movie" - the title gives me horrors
"Alone in the Dark 2" - is that for real?
"A Christmas Carol" - Zemeckis next CGI weird thing that will suck
Fame re-make - ew
"Transformers 2"
"Gi Joe Live Action movie"
"Land of the Lost" with Will Ferrel
"Angels & Demons"
"Night at the museum 2"
"pink panther 2"

and finally

"Fast & the Furious 4"



so it looks like its going to be a year of high and lows. and there are also a ton of films not on my radar yet and films that i feel indifferent about (like the Woody Allen film with Larry David). Looks like we'll have to wait and see!

[Kublakhan61]

The Limits of Control - Jarmusch and Bill Murray
Whatever Works - The Woody and LD movie (there's a picture up at yonah schimmels!)
The Tree of Life - Terrence Malick and Sean Penn, if it makes it out in '09
Coraline - Possibly for Neil Gaiman
Antichrist - Lar Von Trier does a horror movie. The devil is real.
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans - Because there is no better director then Herzog
Notorious - The Biggie movie - Completely serious about that
King Shot - Alejandro Jordorowsky - metaphysical gangster movie - Produced by David Lynch!
Tetro - F.F. Coppola and Vincent Gallo. I'll give it a shot

Plus - Watchmen, new Wes Anderson, new Gilliam and new Tarantino (if that happens).

[epo]

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans - Because there is no better director then Herzog


I love the strangeness of Herzog, but the thought of Nicholas Cage & Eva Mendes sucking on screen together again frightens me.

[Dirtbag]

The New Sherlocke Holmes - fuck that. everything Guy Ritchie ever made sucked
Lock, Stock was OK and Snatch was great, even if it was very Tarantino-y. I don't think I've even bothered with anything else of his since he made that shitpile with Madonna.

Watchmen is easily #1 and I'll definitely check out Transformers 2. I did nerdgasm during the first one just because I've been a fan for 20 years, but it didn't really hold up upon repeated viewings. Devastator on the big screen should make it worth eight bucks though.

[NickyL0885]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Mall Cop(yes, I said it), and Transformers 2.

[GreatAmericanZero]

Lock, Stock was OK and Snatch was great, even if it was very Tarantino-y.

meh

best way to describe those movies is to say they are very "Boondock Saints"

[epo]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Mall Cop(yes, I said it), and Transformers 2.

I can't even look at you.

[GreatAmericanZero]

i love wolverine as a comic book character, but i'm just not excited about the wolverine movie

[Kublakhan61]

I love the strangeness of Herzog, but the thought of Nicholas Cage & Eva Mendes sucking on screen together again frightens me.

I agree that the idea is frightening but if Cage wasn't capable of fulfilling this role (and surely he wasn't), then Herzog knew it tried to make a great film anyway. I completely trust Herzog to make it work - remember, he is a man so determined to capture his vision he literally dragged a riverboat over a mountain. Nick Cage isn't gonna get in his way. Who knows he may have wanted a shitty actor in the lead.

ok so i just saw a commercial for "My Bloody Valentine 3D" ... and I know that epo (ope) will probably not be able to acknowledge me as a respectable human anymore, but i totally want to see this!

maybe it was the White Zombie song they played.... major high school flashbacks!
or maybe i just like to be skeered... and in 3D!?!

i will go. oh yes.

[Chip196]

I can't wait for The Road ... the book was so amazing.

The Road on IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0898367/)

More Human Than Human may be the single most overused movie trailer song ever. And I love White Zombie.

[Coach]

Race to Witch Mountain..and betting against the odds that this remake will be good.
Wolverine...Just wanna Know how Sabretooth turned into that mess in Xmen
Coraline......Neil Gaiman Movie for Kids..high hopes, but may dissappoint...Fucking make Good Omens or Sandman already!
Star Trek

I think GI Joe is gonna be a tough sell. The kid from "3rd Rock from the Sun" is Cobra Commander.

no fucking way


why ??

no fucking way


why ??

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Joe_(film)


* Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Cobra Commander: Destro's shadowy, masked boss.California. Levitt described his vocal performance as being half reminiscent of Chris Latta's voice for the 1980s cartoon, but also half his own ideas, because he felt rendering it fully would sound ridiculous. He will wear a new mask, as the crew found the original too reminiscent of the Ku Klux Klan, and prosthetic makeup underneath the mask.


And here is your Destro:

i've seen that kid in stuff where he seemed like a decent actor

i'm not going to see GI Joe cuz its a live action movie about GI Joe

[GregoryJoseph]

I just hope there's one that's 90 minutes or less.

The trend of 2 hr and 45 minute movies is maddening.

I don't have a problem with a good popcorn movie. My only problem is when people *ONLY* watch popcorn movies and then tell me how great they are.

Enjoy your glasses!
