Like most of America, and the rest of the World, movies are a big part of everyone's culture. I like to go to as many as possible, but can't always make it. Since it's mid September the year is almost done with, but there are some solid movies out there. Here is a list of the ones I am most looking forward to see. Enjoy
(Done in order of release)
The Informant! (Warner Bros. September 18)
I'll admit I'm a pretty big Matt Damon fan, I like his movies. Some movies he has been in I turned from because a certain guy named Ben Affleck was in them, I'm not a fan. Over the summer I spent some time looking up movies that were going to be coming out this year, this one came up so I looked up a trailer on Youtube. From what I saw looked like a spoof of spy movies, and I'm all for that. Damon looks to do a fantastic job as he normally does. The only thing that I think might bother me is that it looks like there will probably be a twist in the story, but I could be wrong. The Informant! was originally a book by Kurt Eichenwald, it comes out next week and it looks fantastic.Zombieland (Columbia Pictures, October 2)
Shaun of the Dead was a fantastic movie. Why it was so fantastic was because it took a subject, like zombies, and made it funny. Most zombie movies are made to be a serious fight for survival where every turn could be their last. I think Zombieland is taking heavily from that formula, it stars Woody Harrelson (Seven Pounds), Jesse Eisenberg (Adventureland), Emma Stone (Superbad) and the pretty much every movie needs Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine). A zombie plague sweeps the World, and like most movies the gang is on the run. It seems funny and like I talked about above, it's good to see them having fun with the subject matter. Even if this movie tanks, I will definitely give it credit for trying to do something new with it's premise. TRAILERWhere the Wild Things Are (Warner Bros. October 16)
I first found out about this movie through ververdan0226 topic about it. I really never heard of it before then and had no idea it was a book. After watching the trailer and read up on it a little and what I found was a charming movie. It's about a boy (Max Records) who is mad at his mom for dating another man. He makes up this world to kind of cope with the whole thing, and like most kids he is the ruler. The movie, graphically, looks fantastic. It's pretty hard to tell that some of it is CG, but that's becoming more and more common now. It's directed by Spike Jones (Being John Malkovich). It looks like a top notch kid, no not just kids, but adult movie.The Road (DeamWorks, November 25)
This is my big movie of the year. The Road was a book written by Cormac McCarthy (No Country For Old Men), and it follows a man and his son as they travel a post apocalyptic world. It's a extremely emotional book, it won't surprise me if some people shed a tear. It really builds up the love the father has for his son and what he will do to make sure his son survives and stays healthy. Viggo Mortensen plays the father, and I won't say he is who I pictured when I was reading the book but he's a fantastic actor so I'm sure he will do a fine job. The movie was supposed to come out in February of 2009 but got pushed back for more production time. I've heard many people say this sounds like Fallout 3, I don't really agree with this but I guess people can think what they want. I want to see how the movie adapts the book, in the book there really isn't much talking. Usually just little talk between the father and son, so I can see them adding dialog which I would like it better if they kept it the way it was. This is my big movie this year and I will defiantly see it. Plus it's two days before my birthday ^_^ TRAILERSo that's the big movies I want to see this year. There's many, many more films coming out that some of you might like to see, so feel free to post them. I'd like to see what you all think.
Thanks for reading
