Day 7: Movies of 2010 (Part IV)

hopefully this is the last one of these posts with the exception of an add on a day or two down the road (it will not be tomorrow's blog, maybe, if needed it'll be friday's.). this one will be a mixed bag of things, so here goes. oh, and sometime next week, or during the weekend, i'm going to post a blog on the top 5 movies that i don't want to see.

scott pilgrim vs. the world... i know absolutely nothing about this, but the photo(below) has michael cera holding a flaming katana. another undated movie though, sometime 2010.



hot tub time machine... once again, this one i just read about; literally. john cusack is great in comedic roles though, so there is hope. i also am thinking that, like the cop out trailer, the trailer below does not do the film justice. march 19th.



percy jackson and the last olympians: the lightning thief... another i probably will not see in the theater, but only because i have a thing with reading novels before seeing movies based on novels. everything i have heard about this series has been great (my nephew blew through the five book series). it's also directed by the guy who did the adaptations of harry potter 1 and 2, so there is that. february 12th.



the american... ANOTHER movie i just learned about, but considering that george clooney is one of the best actors of the generation, and it's about an assassin (which i seem to be drawn to)... september 1st.



inception... christopher nolan's next film (dark night, the prestige)...looks amazing. one of the movies i can't wait to see, even when i have no idea what the hell is going on in the trailer. july 16th



the social network... another one i am really, really, really hesitant to put on this (growing) list. why? it is abou the creators of facebook. yeah, it is a true story about facebook. it's one of those times where i thought, "what the fuck? they're making a movie about this?" It's directed by david fincher though, which makes it okay. october 15th



shutter island... nothing to say about this movie really. i have the book sitting on my bookshelf, so, depending on what i end up reading this month, i may not get around to reading it by the movie's release. after all, joe hill's novel, horns hits next month on the 19th. that said, trailer looks great, and i've heard the novel is amazing. february 19th.



how to train your dragon... last one for this list. a dreamworks movie, which are usually way below the bar pixar sets year-in-year-out. that said, i really enjoyed kung fu panda in 2008, and this is directed by lilo and stitch director, chris sanders. here's hoping. march 26th.
