Top 5 Movies I'm Dying to See



































Here are the top five movies that are currently in theaters I am absolutely dying to see.

5. The Namesake


I saw the trailer for this during the coming attractions at my second viewing of The Queen. I thought it looked great and the story looked extremely interesting. After Brian's glowing review, I was certain that I needed to see it. It is currently in my town in the downtown area at a theater that I frequent. What's keeping me from going? Probably a lack of money...but I'm really just too lazy to try and get down there.

4. Blades of Glory

I always enjoy a good Will Ferrell movie and I've
been waiting for this since this time last year. My brother wants to see it also so it's only a matter of time until I get down to the theater.

3. 300

Despite negative reviews about the acting and story, the action sequences look too good to pass up. The whole film looks beautiful, so we'll see how this is.

2. Fracture

Anthony Hopkins returns to somewhat of a Lecter-ish role. Ryan Gosling as a DA. These two in a cat and mouse setup sounds absolutely amazing.

1. Grindhouse

I'm a big fan of Quentin Tarantino, so when I first heard about the project, I was somewhat interested. After the first trailer, it looked good. After the second, it looked amazing. Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez are at the top of their game and getting great reviews for it. I watched some of the fake movie "trailers" for the "trailers" in between "Planet Terror" and "Death Proof". The best ones are "Machete", "Werewolf Women of the SS", and "Thanksgiving". This looks hilarious, awesome, and most of all: badass.

Hairspray Trailer!

http://movies.aol.com/movie-trailer-clip/hairspray-quicktime

It's finally here! It looks absolutely fantastic. Travolta, Pfeiffer, Efron (yes, I said it) and especially newcomer Nicole Blonsky look outstanding! Here's an updated "most anticipated" list.

1. The Simpsons Movie
Sorry, but I cannot deny my geekiness here. Most. Anticipated. Movie. Ever.

2. Hairspray
What a trailer!

3. Sweeney Todd
Until we get a trailer or a picture of Helena Bonham Carter in costume, this will probably stay here.

4. Spider-Man 3
Although I usually find comic book movies formulaic and boring (Daredevil), I love the Spider-Man franchise. This looks VERY risky, so I'll await seeing how it does with critics.

5. Across the Universe
It's hard to go wrong with this plotline and music.

6. Snow Cake
Just a few more days...

7. The Other Boleyn Girl
Great book, but very hard to adapt. But with Peter Morgan at the typewriter, it shouldn't be a problem.

8. Shrek the Third
I usually don't realize how good the Shrek franchise actually is until I see one of them. And after last night's American Idol sneak-peak of the film, I'm excited.

9. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
As with Shrek, I'll like it more when I actually see it.

10. Evening
The plot sounds sorta "eh", but it has the best cast of the year.
