14.02.10 # Movie Releases # 94 CommentsKnight & Day
Starring: Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Peter Sarsgaard, Maggie Grace, Paul Dano
Director: Lee Unkrich
Release Date: 2nd July 2010
His Tropic Thunder cameo showed Tom Cruise do comedy, so now with his career still reeling after the Scientology madness, feature action comedy seems a sensible direction to try out. Hence Knight & Day, which centers on a lonely woman (Cameron Diaz) whose seemingly harmless blind date suddenly turns her life upside-down when a super spy (Cruise) takes her on a violent worldwide journey to protect a powerful battery that holds the key to an infinite power source. The title sounds like it belongs to an 80s sitcom, but I like the madcap energy of the trailer.
The Last Airbender
Starring: Noah Ringer, Nicola Peltz, Jackson Rathbone, Dev Patel
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Release Date: 2nd July 2010
Nothing to do with farting, The Last Airbender is a live-action adaptation of the first season of animated TV series Avatar: The Last Airbender. It follows the adventures of Aang, a young successor to a long line of Avatars, who must put his childhood ways aside and stop the Fire Nation from enslaving the Water, Earth and Air nations. It’s written, directed, and produced by M. Night Shyamalan. Anyone who saw his last movie, The Happening, will be nervous. This is the first of a planned trilogy.
Predators
Starring: Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Danny Trejo, Alice Braga
Director: Nimród Antal
Release Date: 9th July 2010
Produced by Robert Rodriguez, based off his old spec script, Predators will star Adrien Brody as a lean mercenary. The R-rated movie is a direct sequel to the first film, as Aliens followed Alien. If Rodriguez lets him get near the camera, it’ll be helmed by Nimród Antal, who gave us Vacancy and the not-so-great Armored. The Predator will look as it did in the original film, but is joined by new creatures, such as Predator dogs and Predator falcons. Can’t wait for this.
Inception
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ken Watanabe, Marion Cotillard
Director: Christopher Nolan
Release Date: 16th July 2010
The director of the Dark Knight upsets everyone by making a movie that isn’t a Batman sequel. But wait, this looks great. And all of Christopher Nolan’s other films have been terrific too. And what a cast he has for this. Inception is a mystery story set within the architecture of the mind. In other words imagine being able to physically enter the world of someone’s brain and steal confidential information that exists only in their memory. Or something like that. Is director Nolan trying out Heath Ledger-lookalike Joseph Gordon-Levitt with an eye to him taking over the Joker role?
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Jay Baruchel, Alfred Molina, Monica Bellucci
Director: Jon Turteltaub
Release Date: 16th July 2010
I don’t think anyone reading this saw Fantasia when it first hit cinemas in 1940 but you may still be aware that Mickey Mouse played the role of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Well Mickey has been recast as Jay Bacochel from Tropic Thunder in this Jerry Bruckheimer-produced live action spin-off which sees him coming under the wing of Nicolas Cage and fulfilling his magician’s destiny to stop New York etc being destroyed by evil forces. Think of Harry Potter without any kids. Looks like fun, with some cool sorcery visuals.
Salt
Starring: Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor
Director: Phillip Noyce
Release Date: 23rd July 2010
Action-thriller starring Angelina Jolie as a CIA officer accused of being a Russian sleeper spy. The trailer is unintentionally silly, with Jolie jumping off a bridge onto a moving truck then hopping from vehicle to vehicle with ease. But big names have been attached to the movie (Salt was originally to be played by Tom Cruise) so there must be something special about it?
Repo Men looks like something that Johnny Lee Miller should be starring in. I predict that it will stink like a butt.
repo men was a good movie you just dont understand true action.
stop being a sicko
Action Movies are probably one of the more exciting things to waste our money on at the cinema. My top 3 are
Kick Ass
Inception
Clash of the Titans/Iron Man 2/Prince of Persia/The Last Airbender/The Green Hornet
By way of 2010′s action movies my picks are:
1 – Inception
2 – Kick-Ass
3 – Tron Legacy
Alright, is it me or does Ralph Fiennes play like every devil or major demon character in every movie?
And also these MMA movies about fighting (Fighting, Never back Down, and now Warrior?!)and stuff have to stop coming out. There not interesting at all.
Oh yeah, and the 3 best action movies are gonna be Inception, Robin Hood, and either Prince of Persia or Kick-Ass
so The Eagle of the Ninth isn’t a golf epic?
Oh gd.
Of the top of my head, Tron, Inception, Last Airbender (better not suck it up M. Night Shyamalammypancakebatter), my boy Harry Potstickers. I’ll take Prince of Persia w/ a GI Joe approach, I expect it to suck but maybe it’ll surprise me.
Oh yeah and Iron Man 2 + Clash of the Titans will… be… SICK! I guarantee it.
And Kick-Ass too!
… and A-Team, Robin Hood and Predators might get my time if I’m bored and/or if I get to the theatre early enough.
Likely to be 2010′s best action movies –
1. Inception
2. Tron Legacy
3. The Expendables
Inception, Iron Man 2, and clash of the titans=great xD as for the A-team..i’m sorry there’s absolutely no way to fill Mr. T’s shoes, other than that lookin forward to the movie
