I probably always say this... But I can't WAIT for the fall movie season! Check out this page on
IMDB to browse. I wrote down my list of favs - this doesn't include stuff that should be great, but isn't my taste - and came up with 20 movies.
The two that I'm looking forward to most are:
Life of Pi. One of my favorite books, filmed by one of my favorite directors, Ang Lee. You must watch the trailer, I was practically bawling by the end of it.
This is 40. A spin-off of Knocked Up, with Paul Rudd, directed by Judd Apatow. I think the trailer is adorable.
The rest:
- The Words – Bradley Cooper, plagiarism drama.
- The Master – New flick by Paul Thomas Anderson, Phillip
Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix.
- 10 Years – Reunion comedy with Tatum Channing.
- End of Watch – Cop drama with Jake Gyllenhaal.
- Looper – Time travel action with Joseph Gordon Levitt.
- Cloud Atlas – Insane special effects by the Wachowski
brothers.
- Espionage – Financial drama/thriller with Richard Gere.
- Flight – Denzel Washington plays a pilot in an emergency
crash.
- Lincoln – Steven Spielberg, Daniel Day Lewis, AND my new
boyfriend Joseph Gordon Levitt.
- Skyfall – James Bond.
- Twilight - *shrug* It’s stupid, but fun.
- Anna Karenina – Screenplay by the same guy that did
Shakespeare in Love, which was another literary movie I loved. I just
read this book though, and it’s not very good.
- Hyde Park on Hudson – Bill Murray as FDR.
- The Hobbitt – Peter Jackson.
- Les Miserables – in spite of the fact it has Anne Hathaway,
who is just not really my thing.
- Jack Reacher – Tom Cruise action, based on good books.
Initial trailer looks dumb, hope there’s more to it.
- Django Unchained – Quentin Tarantino’s new one, starring
Jamie Foxx. Looks cool.
- The Guilt Trip – Road trip comedy with Seth Rogen and his
“mom” Barbara Streisand.
