Movie’s I’m excited about in 09
12 06 2009Over a year ago, I did a short list of movies that I was excited about; of the four, only Baba Mama was good. I was going through the trailers for movies at apple and these were the ones that looked like ones I want to catch.
Funny People from Judd Apatow (whose 40 Year Old Virgin I really liked)
Up from Pixar who haven’t released anything but awesome yet.
500 Days of Summer for Joseph Gordon-Levitt in an indie-type romance
Astro Boy because it’s a childhood favorite of mine
Extract from Mike Judge with Jason Bateman – looks funny
The Brothers Bloom has an interesting premise and is made by the guy that did Brick, which I enjoyed for its originality
Moon for Sam Rockwell, who I liked a lot in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and for sci-fi fun
Away We Go looks like a good summer romantic drama with comedy and even though I dropped the Office, I still have a soft spot for Halpert
The Boat that Rocked for seeing rebels with rock and roll in the 70′s – Heidi will like this one.
The Proposal looked sort of funny, this movie represents my weakest excitement, but it does have Sandra in it for my brother.
The Hangover for real chuckles from the trailer – stick around for the very end of the trailer for an awesome cameo
Julie & Julia for Heidi, I’d gladly skip this one
Taking Woodstock about finding the location for Woodstock is the one Heidi’s most excited about and I wouldn’t mind seeing either.
Bruno looks hilarious and I loved Borat so expectations are high
Toy Story 3 is still a long way away but will be a great addition to the story, I’m sure.
9 looks strange and exciting at the same time
Surrogates teams some futuristic sci fi with Bruce Willis and action – good combo
State of Play is a thriller that looks good – my favorite genre
Stranded is the documentary of the story that the movie Alive was based on
Where the Wild Things Are seems to be an exciting look at a popular book that I read as a kid from Spike Jonze who’s loaded with original talent
We’ll see which of these ones actually turns out to be any good.
UP is REALLY good – Karl & I hit it for our date night a couple weeks ago, and it was SOO worth it…totally recommend!
[...] I’ve watched for the past few years. Well, that has bombed a bit I must say. But, I caught this post from my good friend and decided to have a gander at what trailers are on these days at Apple.com, [...]
Up, Where the wild things are, toy story 3, state of play, hangover and funny people all look good. I’ll let you watch the others first and tell me how they turn out.
Hey thanks for the movie idea’s we need to catch up we are totally out of it because we were traveling the last 5 months.
