dangermousieOK, here's the list of the movies coming out this year (non-Bollywood) that I really want to see.
No order. 20 movies.
1. Serenity: I am a Firefly fan. And this is supposedly excellent big-screen continuation with more Mal, more Simon, more Jayne, more everyone. Woo!!!
2. Walk the Line: I don't generally go for musical biopics (or for biopics, period), but the trailer looked fantastic, this has really good buzz,I have the hots for Joaquin Phoenix, and I know nothing about Johnny Cash, so it will be all new to me.
3. Aeon Flux: It doesn't look anything like the cartoon (according to Husband). But since I haven't seen the cartoon, I don't care. It does have cool-looking action, futuristic dystopia, Celeborn being autocratic, and some really impossible romance. Works for me.
4. The Corpse Bride: Because it's an animated film that looks macabre and made by Tim Burton.
5. Munich: It's a Spielberg movie about the aftermath of the Munich Olympics. Of course I'll watch.
6. Jarhead: I like the subject matter and the cast.
7. Brokeback Mountain: I adore Ang Lee. I am also bemused by the idea of Heath Ledger and Jake G(no idea how to spell the last name) as star-crossed gay cowboys.
8. Memoirs of a Geisha: I liked the book, I love the cast, I love period movies.
9. The White Countess: Merchant-Ivory film set in 1930s Shanghai starring Ralph Fiennes? Why on earth not?
10. The Constant Gardener: Mereilles directed, Fiennes is the lead, LeCarre is the source.
11. Elizabethtown: Orlando Bloom! Seriously though, I did like the trailers and I like Cameron Crowe and the premise is totally fun.
12. Rent: I love musicals (check out the Bollywood obsession). Not enough to want to watch "The Producers," but enough to get excited about this angsty La Boheme update.
13. The New World: Period movie about a period (early 17th century Jamestown) not done very often. Besides, the trailer looks dreamlike. Plus, Christian Bale and Colin Farrell (I prefer Bale, but Farrell ain't bad).
14. Beowulf: Iceland and Gerard Butler. And Vikings fighting monsters.
15. Tristan and Isolde: duh. If it ever gets a freaking release date, that is! It's turning into Humko Tumse Pyar Hai of Hollywood.
16. Proof: I liked the play
17. The Fountain: Hugh Jackman as a man travelling through time into past and future (15th and 25th century) to save his wife. Sounds good to me.
18. King Kong: Once again, duh.
19. Everything is Illuminated: Frodo! :)
20. Hooligans: Frodo as a football hooligan!
