Finally to the studios you need to come up with something more than all these sequels. People are craving something more than toy story15 and ice age 27 there has got to be somebody smart in Hollywood.

Avengers – will see this although I don’t buy Samuel Jackson as Nick Fury and probably never will. He’s good at acting and looking pissed but I see that role as going to a more grizzled actor and more like the comic book, like Charlton Heston in True Lies. I know Heston is dead but maybe Ian Mcshane or someone else with a hard look and gravelly voice. Also disappointed that Edward Norton is not involved but I’m sure there were reasons for that.

Dark Shadows – really like Burton/Depp collaborations, especially Sleepy Hollow and Sweeney Todd so will be going to this for sure

The Dictator – positive this will be funny and even with the soulless Megan Fox should be worth a go. She’s good to look at but really shows no personality in movies

Battleship – Why? Might be good with Skarsgard and Neeson with some good effects but why link it to a very simple straightforward game? Just call it Warships or Destroyers

MIB3 – 3D or not, I was pretty disappointed with MIB2 but will probably go because I hold out hope they can do better. Also have the sons ages 10 and 7 who will want to go

Snow White and the Huntsman – love the cast, except Kristen Stewart, but want to see this anyway

Madagascar 3 – will go for the kids, did like the first two, the second better than the first, but the kids really like them

Prometheus – the first time I saw Alien I was bored to death. It is a slow-moving movie, I believe it takes a full hour before the alien actually appears, but I have grown to love the movie now and am sure to see this one too. In general I do like Scott’s work, with a rare exception, like Robin Hood

Jack the Giant Killer – sounds entertaining, will see what word of mouth is after it comes out

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter – why not? Would love to see Abe use his wood-chopping skills on some bloodsuckers

Brave – was a little disappointed in Up and have not seen Cars2 but find all Pixar movies at least watchable and usually more than once so will see this one too, with the kids

Amazing Spiderman – I was a comic book fan in the 70s and 80s, then they hit $2 per issue and I thought “who can afford this?”. I really liked the first two spiderman movies and the third was mediocre (Topher Grace was bad casting IMO). This new one shows some promise and I look forward to a fresh take, hope they did a good job

Ice Age 4 – for the kids again, liked the first one, second one was a little funnier, third one was enough to keep me awake (and I work nights so that is saying something), fourth one I am sure will be along the same lines, eh

Ted – not a big Wahlberg fan although he is slowly winning me over, first with Invincible and then The Other Guys, was okay in a half dozen other films I’ve seen him in. The big draw to me is MacFarlane, should be very funny

The Dark Knight Rises – very much looking forward to this, Christian Bale is one of my favorite actors today and although I thought he was underwhelming in Terminator Salvation I think this will be another very good Batman venture. And it comes out on my birthday so I’ll be at the midnight showing, nephew’s treat

Neighborhood Watch, Here Comes the Boom – feel about the same with these two, probably will get them on dvd but may see in theater if a friend wants to catch a comedy and I’m not working

Total Recall – yeah, agree with a previous post, Farrell is a bit of a douche but the rest of the cast (Beckinsale, Nighy, Cranston, Hawke, Biel) looks really good, will see this most likely, lack of Arnold could be a good thing

Expendables 2 – agree with the hype and cast did not live up to the first movie but still liked it, bought it on dvd and will see this one. Being a teen in the 80s, I like seeing these old guys still doing movies, even if they aren’t what they used to be. Very nostalgic, ignore the steroids, botox and facelifts, sit back and enjoy the show

ParaNorman – I have such a huge appreciation of what the stop motion animation process requires that I will see this just because of that. I’d probably go to see a stop motion porno just because of the work involved. Voice cast looks good and anyone who co-directed Flushed Away couldn’t be all bad

G.I. Joe – might get on dvd when it’s cheap enough next year, like Dwayne Johnson when he’s not required to act but don’t have much use for Bruce Willis outside Die Hard movies, I consider replacing Quaid with him to be a step down, or two. Quaid was really good in the first movie and the better actor anytime. Still like you Bruce, but you are a bit limited

The trailer for ParaNormal is fantastic, can’t wait for it (but also a crappy title).

Prometheus will either be a brilliant return to his own style, or yet another lackluster Ridley Scott film (and yes, that includes Gladiator, YAWN).
