General Discussion : Movies I'm most looking forward to seeing in 2010

[djross]

The movies I am most looking forward to seeing in 2010 are the following:

Enter the Void (Gaspar Noé)
The Tree of Life (Terrence Malick)
Melancholia (Lars von Trier)

This may be compared with the movies that at the end of 2008 I said was most looking forward to seeing in 2009:

Enter the Void (Gaspar Noé)
The Tree of Life (Terrence Malick)
Antichrist (Lars von Trier)

In other words, not much has changed, even if the only one of the three from this year I've seen, Antichrist, perhaps was not quite the film I'd hoped.

Toy Story 3 - Here's hoping it won't be as shitty as Toy Story 2
Inception - Despite Ellen Page it looks awesome
The Expendables - for the cast and the arnold cameo
Magneto - Here's hoping they don't ruin this one like they did with wolverine
The Fighter - High on Crack Street: Lost Lives in Lowell was a good documentary. Should make a good movie.
Shutter Island - Scorsese
Edge of Darkness - Mel Gibson's first movie in awhile plus it looks like it has some hilarious one liners
Cemetery Junction -

Shittiest looking:
Robin Hood
Shrek 4
Prince of Persia
Kung fu kid

Edge of Darkness - Mel Gibson's first movie in awhile plus it looks like it has some hilarious one liners

Is that based on the mini-series? I don't really follow films that are coming out to theatres, but this is something I outta check out.

Cemetery Junction -

This just has to be one of the greatest comedies of the last few years.

that was pretty funny, reminiscent of "Extras", looking forward to their first film

I'd add "Alice in Wonderland" to Pickpocket's list, my favorite Disney feature,
I just love what the art department has done:

After losing my hope that King Shot and Deodato's Cannibals will ever get made my number one is The Human Centipede (First Sequence). It won some awards at few fantasy/horror festivals and sounds AWESOME:
In The Human Centipede, Dr. Heiter (Dieter Laser) is a leering, sepulchral surgeon from Germany whose specialty is separating Siamese twins. Dr. Heiter decides to evolve his craft by sewing together living beings together at the "mucous-cutaneous zone" (guess) in order to create Siamese triplets with a single digestive system. After his experiment in creating a three-segment rottweiler ("a beautiful three-hound construction") fails, Dr. Heiter tries again, shifting his attention to humans. First, a trucker is stolen away while relieving himself on the side of the road, Next, two clueless party girls who come knocking on Dr. Heiter's door after getting lost in the German forest get pulled into the experiment. After erasing the trucker from the picture, the doctor finds another victim: a crazed Japanese man wandering around Germany. The doctor concludes the initial phase of his experiment by splicing together the two girls and the Japanese man. At this stage, the film really goes berserk as Dr. Heiter attempts to impose his personal brand of order and discipline on an increasingly out-of-control situation.
Also:
Hisss

Tucker & Dale vs Evil
Mammuth (I don't know anything about the plot, but everything by Kervern & Delepine is top priority for me)
The Futurological Congress (I loved the book & Ari Folman as a director sounds like a perfect choice)

And from the titles mentioned above I definitely want to see Enter the Void.
Alice in Wonderland looks great, but I heard it's going to be a family film and that ruins it for me. This is kind of book that shouts for adaptation that's brutal and perverse, full of psychos and junkies.

Edge of Darkness - Mel Gibson's first movie in awhile plus it looks like it has some hilarious one liners

yes

[miss jesus]

Legion sounds pretty rad to me. I haven't seen the trailer yet but I intend to check it out.

Since I love monster movies and Benicio del Toro, I can't not watch Wolfman. Good to hear it's gonna be an R.

I really want to see Clash of the Titans. Hopefully no one will say anything like "I sure am tired of all these Titans clashing" during the film.

Gonna watch The A-Team. Gonna watch Knight & Day. Gonna watch Tron Legacy.

The Other Guys sounds hilarious, I want to see that too. Same deal for Your Highness.

No release date yet but I bet they'll come out next year and I want to see them: The Debt and Julie Taymor's The Tempest.

[Stewball]

Top of the list,

Alice in Wonderland & The Expendables.

The Green Zone looks good and I'm cautiously optimistic about Nottingham or whatever the hell they're going to call it.

Same sentiments.
