DAYBREAKERS (8/1/2010)
The vampire genre has been heavily used and reused, packaged and repackaged with not much originality left to exploit. But here comes Daybreakers with stars Ethan Hawke, Sam Neil and William Dafoe to bring you a story about a world inhabited fully by vampires and the remaining humans are hunted down for food. The question they pose in the movie is; what happens when the blood runs out? A simple look at our current situation with oil and other natural resources but with added vampirism. Should be out by now.
THE BOOK OF ELI (15/1/2010)
Holy crap! Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman in one movie? Heavy. Gary Oldman makes the perfect villain (watch Leon, Fifth Element and True Romance, also Sid and Nancy) and in this film he is one. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where years after a nuclear fallout, humans are striving to survive and Washington plays a man who holds the key to sustaining human life with Oldman playing the villain who wants it for his own needs. Should be fucking awesome.
LEGION (22/1/2010)
Okay, so the plot is a bit over th top, a lot over the top but there is still that special pull in this movie. Maybe its the fact that it contains an over the top plot. Get this, God has had enough of humans and so sends his angels to set Armageddon but Michael rebels and goes off to save humanity. The only way to do so would be to protect a still unborn child who is Christ in his second coming. God is evil and angels are demonic creatures that can be killed by machine gun fire. Its a surprise they're showing this in Malaysia..
WOLFMAN (12/2/2010)
Not really a fan of those classic horror films and their remaks but this one has Benicio Del Toro! And with Anthony Hopkins! Its Del Toro Vs. Lautner.
COP OUT (26/2/2010)
I fucking love Kevin Smith movies (Clerks, Clerks 2, Dogma, Chasing Amy, Zack and Mirri Make a Porno and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) and this one should be great (although the black/white cop comedy is already pretty stale). Although there's just one thing that I would prefer without, Tracy Morgan. Its okay if he's just in a supporting role but a lead role? C'mon.. Well, Bruce Willis though.
ALICE IN WONDERLAND (5/3/2010)
Some people are saying that Tim Burton may be losing his touch. Well, we'll see after Alice. Hopefully, Burton can manage to bring his whole crazy weird touch onto the screen and give us moments we can remember forever (so far the most memorable scene that Burton has given us would be the Martians heads exploding to country music in Mars Attacks). Johnny Depp is back with Burton and their pairings always never do go wrong.
CLASH OF THE TITANS (26/3/2010)
I'm a huge fan of Greek Mythology and hearing about this remake of the 80's film just makes me over excited and the trailers pretty cool. Sam Worthington is Hollywood's rising star taking upon lead role after lead role in a couple of blockbusters so far. Also to boot, Ralph Fiennes playing Hades and Liam Neeson playing Zeus, the ultimate villain/hero pairing after their previous villain/hero pairing together in Scheindler's List.
REPO MEN (2/4/2010)
Poster pulls you in doesn't it? Yeap, what a nicely done poster. Looks interesting from here. Yeap, it sure does. Jude Law and Forest Whitaker too. Yeap. Its a sci-fi thing. Yeap.
KICKASS (16/4/2010)
Based on the comic book by Mark Millar who also created Wanted (but wasn't adapted as faithfully as I would assume it to be.. They're assassins instead of supervillains.. I was hoping for the whole superhero mythology to be included in Wanted and they toned down Wesley Gibson's violent nature..) This should be a fun superhero movie with NIcholas cage and Mark Strong. Hopefully they don't make them assassins instead of superheroes in this one..
NIGHTMARE OF ELM STREET (30/4/2010)
Jackie Earle Haley of Rosharch fame brings the game as Freddy Kruger. Hopefully he brings the same magic from Watchmen into this over done franchise. And hopefully it doesn't turn out like the Halloween remake or Friday the 13th remake..
IRONMAN 2 (7/5/2010)
Ah, a movie containing two of Hollywood's down and up stars, Robert Downey Jr. who faced a career downturn due to crack and later acclaim again in Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang and Mickey Rourke who with his bad boy attitude made him jobless but now a star again through the Wrestler. And now we see these two stars head to head. Iron Man was fantastic, Iron Man 2 should be fantasticer and with Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow. She is so hot.
ROBIN HOOD (14/5/2010)
In 2000, two men paired together and made the greatest movie of that year. That was Gladiator. And now director Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe team up again to reimagine a classic. Notice the Russell Crowe's eye gaze in the poster? It just screams out 'Ima pwn ur ass noob'.
A-TEAM (11/6/2010)
Remember that show from the 80's with Mr.T going 'I'm gonna break you, foo!'. Well, this is the modernized action packed remake with Liam Neeson and Sharlto Copley (of District 9 fame). Next summers getting exciting.
TOY STORY (18/6/2010)
Toy Story was one of my all time favourite animated movie after Nightmare Before Christmas and there's a third one! Woo! About time too. Tom Hanks hasn't been in any really amazing movies lately so this would bring him up again.
AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER (2/7/2010)
Yes, its being directed by M. Night Shamalyan and yes Dav Patel is starring as Zuko but whatever, nothing can stop me from enjoying this film just like I enjoy the animated series. But of course I'm gonna prepare my mind for a major dose of disappointment before some bad stuff happens.
PREDATORS (7/7/2010)
You can't see the Predator in this poster cause he's the Predator. He's fucking invinsible and before you know it you've got your fucking innards all over the floor and your head ripped from your body. This poster sucks.. Hopefully this Predator is as good as the 1st, better than the 2nd and god forbid, not as bad as the AVP flicks.
INCEPTION (16/7/2010)
It's Christopher Nolan directing. Christopher fucking Nolan of Memento/New Batman flicks. Not much is known about Inception other than the fact that it takes place in the achitecture of the mind. Awesome.
THE EXPENDABLES (13/8/2010)
Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren, Steve Austin with cameos by Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzernegger (is that spelt correctly?) need I say more. Action flick of the year. If you are a real man, you will watch this. There is no excuse.
THE OTHER GUYS (6/8/2010)
An action comedy cop movie with Will Ferrell (whee), directed by Adam McKay (whee) of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Talledega Nights and Stepbrothers fame but with Mark Wahlberg (boo). A star studded cast including Samuel L. Jackson, The Rock and Michael Keaton too.
LET ME IN (1/8/2010)
The book was way fucked up (Note to self: Not a good book to give to a 14 year old girl for her birthday), good but disturbing as hell and the Swedish movie adaption (which I need to watch) was I heard even more fucked up with critical acclaim reviews and making loads of cash. Now we have an American movie adaption. Would it be better than the Swedish flick? Who knows. Watch if you can stomach the mature themes. I don't think this one's coming out in Malaysia.
UNSTOPPABLE (12/11/2010)
Denzel Washington is in. And with Chris Pine of Star Trek fame. I guess there ain't much to explain other than the fact that this looks a bit like Taking of Pelham 123 which was directed by Tony Scott and this flicks also directed by Tony Scott. Hmm.. Still, one to look out for.
DUE DATE (5/11/2010)
Robert Downey Jr.'s in a Todd Phillips film! For those not familiar with Phillips, watch Road Trip, Old School and this years so-called comedy of the year (not in my list) the Hangover. Starring alongside Zach Galifianakis too. Should be a funny movie to watch.
TRON: LEGACY (17/12/2010)
The true sequel to the 1st Tron, this one stars an older and at the same time, a younger Jeff Bridges thanks to the technology from The Curious Cas of BB. Bikes look sweet.
THE GREEN HORNET (22/12/2010)
I never thought I'd see Seth Rogen in a superhero suit but I guess it's possible. I am a fan of Seth Rogen but I am not a fan of Jay Chou. Why is Chou taking over Bruce Lee's role in this remake? Why? Couldn't they find someone much better than a pop singer? The less lines they give to Chou the better. I want to see Rogen do his thang.
Lets hope 2010 would be a better year for films. And yes, I am aware that ECLIPSE is coming out and is not in this list because after two suckfest films (okay, the second one sucked less) I have lost confidence in this fucked up franchise. Lets see if they can do a hat trick. Three bad films in a row. But the irony is it still makes loads of cash.. Where is the fucking justice in the world? I guess that would be why God is sending his angels to anniliate us.
