Most Anticipated Movies for the next Six Months!

The Day the Earth Stood Still




I’m hoping that this remake of the first great alien invasion movie will turn out to be a big hit. I like Keanu Reeves but he’s no Michael Renne, the original actor in the 1951 classic. At least Gort hasn’t changed…even though its getting the full CGI treatment.



Trailer







The Watchmen




This is going to be fantastic. The first hard rated R superhero movie ever. The Watchmen is required reading for anyone who wants to know more about comics and graphic novels.



Trailer





The Wrestler




This is the wrestling movie that will erase the horrible taste that was left in everyone’s mouth after Ready to Rumble. This movie will put Mickie Rouke back on the map and will sound extremely similar to the turbulent story of Jake “the Snake” Roberts.


Trailer





Star Trek




The film franchise is reinvented! What had become cheesy and a geeks only club is now breaking out in the mainstream as a wide appealing action adventure movie. This is a prequel to the Star Trek Universe. We discover where Kirk, Spock and the others came from and what put together on the Enterprise. JJ Abrams is the man about town right now. He has done Alias, Cloverfield, Lost, Fringe and now Star Trek. Sky’s the limit for him. Maybe now Star Trek can finally get the respect its deserved for years.

Trailer






Terminator Salvation




The fourth in the Terminator franchise and the first in a trilogy that takes the war against Skynet to the future. The machines have taken over and John Connor must step up to liberate humanity. We finally see the war in the future and I’m hoping this movie will be groundbreaking...even though James Cameron has not given McG his absolute blessing.

Transformers 2: Rise of the Fallen



The sequel to one of my favorite movies of this decade is finally coming out. The first movie had tons of action, drama and laughs. I can’t wait to see what Bay and his crew have lined up for us. Honestly, I want to see more robots as well as the comic and dramatic dynamic between Shia and Megan.


G.I. Joe




Another great cartoon series of the 80s is finally coming to the big screen. Following the success of Transformers, G.I. Joe will try to capture that same kind of success. I’m hoping it will be great but so far there has been absolutely no buzz on this film which is not a good sign. I’m hoping for the best.


X-Men Origins: Wolverine




The X-Men live on in the movies as their most popular character, Wolverine takes center stage in his origin story. I think this is going to be a great movie with lots of mutants we have not seen before.

The only Marvel movies failures with single characters is Punisher, Ghost Rider and the first Hulk Movie. Mike, do you who is the director of the Wolverine movie?

The Director for the X-Men Origins: Wolverine is Gavin Hood. Who's he? He's an actor, with little known credits to his name yet this seems to be a big opportunity for him. He's directed and produced before but this is by far the most mainstream thing he's ever done. Good luck to him because if he gets this wrong there's going to be a lot of angry muties out there!
