My Possible Fave 10

Well so far this year I really don' t think that the movies have been all that good. In fact, I'm not sure if I've gone to see anything this year, oh wait, "Cloverfield" was one... So other than that, or something I've forgotten, there hasn't been a whole lot I really want to see. So with that in mind, I have decided put together a list of films this year that I am really jazzed to see this year, not including surprises and the films that do not have release dates yet.

All of these films could stink, and you know, after the fiasco of "Spider-man 3", I really mean that now, but I hope not.

in no order

IRON MAN

Did I ever really think, "wow I really want to see an Iron Man movie." No. Never even thought about it. But then I heard about Jon Favreau directing it and was ok. And then I heard that Zoic, the people who did visual effects for "Firefly" and "Battlestar" were working on it, and I was starting to get excited. AND THEN! AND THEN! they cast ROBERT DOWNEY JR. Robert Downey Jr. Are you kidding me! How perfect is that! And then I watched the trailer... and it looks like it could be as good as good can be. I've got no real reservations.

SPEED RACER

Wow.. the Wachowski Siblings are back. They're doing Speed Racer and it's got matthew fox in it! Ok. That's not that exciting, but its the Wachowksi siblings and it looks like a "Cars"/Star Wars: Phantom Menace Pod Race - with Real People in it. This movie could suck, but it's from the "Matrix" guys...er people and I'm gonna go see it and it looks pretty cool.

INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL

Indy good. Is Shia good? Hmm... I do know Spielberg is kinda good. And those other Indiana Jones films were all right... Ok, really, this film scares the shit out of me. ("Spider-man 3" phobia). I mean raise your hand if you don't like Indiana Jones. And personally, I'm not sure if they really need to do another one. I feel like they could have just put out the old films again and i would have been happy. So i'm not going to watch the trailer and I'm done reading about and i won't read reviews of the movie and other stuff... I'm just crossing my fingers.

WANTED

In the world of wanted, some people have the power to bend bullets with their mind. With their mind! This could be the most awesome movie of the year.

HANCOCK

Will Smith is back! And he's not alone, Jason Bateman's got his back (you know, that guy from "Teen Wolf 2"). The movie is about a down and out Superhero. It's directed by Peter Berg (and if it's like "The Rundown") it could be fantastic. And seeing Will Smith throw a whale is pretty funny.

HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY

Guillermo Del Toro. We have the same first name. We Williams have to stick together. And the last sequel he made... "Blade 2" was great frightening fun.

THE DARK KNIGHT

Batman & the Joker. Sad backstory, People magazine editors should be taken out back and beaten (check out your newsstands). Superhero sequels have the power to be the greatest in their series and it looks like this one will be better than the first. (not that the first one was bad) Heath Ledger was an inspired choice and he looks absolutely frightening in the trailer. Batman!

UNTITLED X-FILES SEQUEL

Kept hearing and hearing and hearing about this movie getting made, and now they made it! As posted earlier I watched a crappy version of the trailer and when Mulder says "Scully, I need you on this one," I got goosebumps. Mulder & Scully.  Luckily, I don't have the taint of the last 3 seasons, but I still think I'd be excited for this movie. I mean, it has to be allright, if Fox made it and the cast came back.

QUANTUM OF SOLACE: THE NEXT JAMES BOND MOVIE WITH THE WORST TITLE EVER!

Dear Sony,

Please change the name of this movie. "Casino Royale" was sooo good. I've been watching Bond films the way that Josh watched Star Trek films. After a while, I was like, there's no way they will ever make a great Bond film in my life ("Goldeneye" was really good, not great.) So here's to the next Bond movie, may it be as good as "Royale" and may the worst thing about it be the title.

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE

If it's not good it doesn't matter. I will be here at Midnight when the movie premieres. Hopefully it will be at the Sherman Oaks Arclight Cinemas so that I don't have to wait 3 hours early, but if I have to wait 3 hours I will, and I will leave quite content.

HONORABLE MENTION

MAMMA MIA!

Have you seen the trailer? A Great trailer! It looks awesome, so much fun.

TROPIC THUNDER

Perfect casting. Absolutely ridiculous story. Downey Jr. as a Celebrity Actor who gets a paint job to look like a black man. Whoa... Watch the trailer. It works.

WALL-E

Pixar.

GET SMART

In the tradition of the good "Rush Hour 1&2"  moments, It's  "Get Smart" with Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway and THE ROCK.  This looks like it could be a lot of fun, and you know sometimes that's all you want. This almost gets on the list, just because "The Love Guru" looks so bad.

So that's it. If you know of some movies that you are excited about, hit up the comment's section.

Peace!
