Many of these movies are sequels to films or adaptations of books (some just look like they'll be a great time) that I love and treasure, so listing these films in order from the ones I want to see a lot to the ones I want to see even more is pretty difficult. Without real organization or thought to placement, here they are:
10. Angels & Demons - Release Date: May 15, 2009
I liked the book Angels & Demons better than The Da Vinci Code, and with added star power of Ewan McGregor, this movie has potential to be better than the first one. (Which is odd, because, technically, Angels & Demons should have been the first because it was published first.)
9. The Year One - Release Date: June 19, 2009
(There aren't any real pictures for The Year One yet, so a picture of Olivia Wilde, who plays a princess in the film, is going to have to suffice.) Jack Black and Michael Cera play two men who, when exiled from their primitive tribe, travel the globe and meet famous Biblical figures in this Monty Python-esque movie.
8. Adventureland - Release Date: March 27, 2009
Adventureland, like Zach & Miri Make A Porno, was filmed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I like seeing movies that were filmed in the area where I live because it makes the mental escape the movies provide much more realistic. In fact, I know exactly where those two actors in that scene are standing. How cool is that?!
7. Youth In Revolt - Release Date: April 3, 2009
(Also, no pictures yet for Youth In Revolt, so please accept this photo of Michael Cera, the lead in the movie, from a different movie as a substitute.) I read Youth In Revolt several years ago, and the book found a place in my heart. I'm interested in seeing Michael Cera in the role of Nick Twisp, seeing as the only parts I've seen Cera play have been sweet and somewhat socially awkward males. Either way, it'll be entertaining!
6. Brüno - Release Date: May 15, 2009
Sacha Baron Cohen is back as Bruno, the gay Austrian fashion/gossip reporter who can't help but offend just as many people as Borat did! As a fan of Da Ali G Show and its spin-offs, I can't wait to see what Bruno does in this movie!
5. Up - Release Date: May 29, 2009
Before the most recent children's movie I saw, the preview for Up played, and I was immediately hooked. Was the old, curmudgeonly man who just wanted to get away, or was it the terrified Boy Scout clinging to the house being lifted higher into the air by balloons? I can't say for sure, but I know I need to see this!
4. Star Trek - Release Date: May 8, 2009
Although I wasn't the biggest fan of the original Star Trek series or the movies (I personally love Star Trek 4...so what if there are whales in it?), but I'm still interested in seeing the story about how the original (original meaning Star Trek, not Star Trek: Enterprise) crew of the Enterprise came together.
3. Land of the Lost - Release Date: June 5, 2009
My childhood was full of great television shows, such as Land of the Lost, so when I heard they were remaking one of my most favorite childhood shows into a movie starring Will Ferrell, I knew that the powers-that-be had the right combination for a great movie!
2. Terminator: Salvation - Release Date: May 22, 2009
I have always enjoyed the Terminator franchise (in ALL of its forms!), and I can't imagine that this sequel will change that fact!
1. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - Release Date: July 17, 2009
It's weird to think that the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone was published when I was just 13 years old. Now I'm almost 25, and the thought that I'm too old for these movies has never crossed my mind. The Harry Potter series has never disappointed me, either in print or on film, and although I'll be one of the first in line to see this, I do recognize that I'm too old to dress up in "wizarding" costumes. (Fact: I have never dressed up in a costume to go see a movie.)
