It seems that what interests me in the movie theater goes in long cycles. Suck, suck, suck... Oh.. finally something good! Ohh and that one too! .... Suck, suck... You get the picture. We finally have come around again to where I can get excited about what is coming out in the theater. If I'm going to pay $12 a ticket, then it had better be something I like AND something that just NEEDS to be seen in the theater. Otherwise.. Netflix. I have no problem waiting a few months to see something that may or may not be good or lacks the "epic-ness" that demands the large screen.
First.. Monsters vs. Aliens. - This doesn't come out till late March, but it looks as if it's packed with some good laughs. It's put out by Dreamworks and seems like a Pixar kinda thing. To sum up... Aliens have landed and the US military have brought out their secret weapons to save Earth. A 49 ft tall woman, a brilliant but mad scientist cockroach, The missing link, an indestructible blob, a 350 foot-grub as well as other "monsters". It's an action, adventure, comedy the family can enjoy together ... and i'll be there.
Secondly... The Tale of Despereaux - It comes out in December and is another cartoon, but this looks as if it will melt our hearts. There's a whole backstory about the kingdom he lives in, but this little mouse with giant ears refuses to live in weakness and fear. He's a brave and virtuous mouse who believes he was destined to be celebrated in the tales of chivalry which he so adores. When the princess is kidnapped by the evil leader of the sewer rats, our little hero bravely jumps into action.
Third.... Star Trek - This time it's director J.J. Abrams going boldly where men have gone before... and I like it! The writer and director of the show Lost is taking on a cult classic. And by what the trailer shows and knowing J.J.'s style.. It's going to be a fun ride!
Fourth... Yes Man - Looks like we're up for another fun Jim Carey ride. Maybe not in the same category of Truman Show or Bruce Almighty, but it still looks like it could be fun. Perhaps a rental though. Jim plays this guy who always says "No" to everything but meets an old friend who invites him to a self-help seminar and changes him to a "Yes"-man. He now says "yes" to about everything and we are taken along on his ride.
Anyway.. that's all I've got for now. The Boy In The Stripped Pajamas looks dearly good too. However, as I am pregnant and trying to soak in "happy" things till I'm all pruney, then this one looks like it will have to wait. I know I can't shield myself from sadness all the time. There's sadness everyday. However, if I want to limit it for the time being... this one will have to wait.
Oh yeah.. lastly... Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The American trailer is out.. and i'd show it... but I really, REALLY enjoy the International trailer. I'll wait to post that one once I can. The movie won't be out till July 17th and unless I'm in labor at that time.. I will be waddling into the first showing of it the night it comes out.
Ciao for now.
