FALL 2008

The offical fall movie season is upon us. Here is a breakdown of the films I'm most interested in seeing, in no real special order:

Burn After Reading (The Coen Brothers, Pitt, Clooney, and Malkovich...wouldn't miss it...)
Body of Lies (Ridley Scott. Russell Crowe. Leo DiCaprio. Terrorism. Ass-kicking ensues...)
The Road (Viggo Mortensen in an end-of-the-world tale of survival from novelist Cormac McCarthy...)
Appaloosa (Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen in a Western...I'm so there...)
W. (Oliver Stone's seriocomic look at Bush...should be a riot...)
The Hurt Locker (Kathryn Bigelow is back with a supposedly blistering Iraq war combat film...)
Righteous Kill (even though the buzz is bad, I can't pass up the chance to see Pacino/De Niro on screen together)
Blindness (Merrielles is a genius...)
Eagle Eye (Looks like slick fun...)
Choke (I love Sam Rockwell...)
Miracle at St. Anna (Spike Lee's Private Ryan...?)
Flash of Genius (I love the story...will it be good...?)
What Just Happened? (Inside Hwood satire from Barry Levinson with DeNiro...love the sound of it...)
Rachel Geting Married (Jonathan Demme is back...)
Max Payne (maybe...very cool trailer but...)
Pride & Glory (Gritty NYC cop movie with Ed Norton and Colin Farrell...right up my alley...)
The Changeling (the latest from Clint "Leather" Eastwood...)
RocknRolla (Guy Ritchie's latest...I want it to kick my ass...)
Zack and Miri Make a Porno (The trailer is hilarious...)
Religulous (Bill Maher destroys all religions...can't wait...)
Quantum of Solace (Give me my James Bond...)
The Soloist (Love the cast...)
Australia (The latest from Baz Luhrman...should be good...right...?)
Milk (Fantastic trailer and excellent cast...)
Doubt (What a cast...dark subject matter...should be intense...)
The Day the Earth Stood Still (Will either be the surprise of the season or the stinker of the season...)
Seven Pounds (Will Smith can do anything...)
Defiance (Ed Zwick's latest...will he succumb to the schmaltz again...?)
The Reader (Sounds complex and challenging...I'm there...)
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (David Fincher. Brad Pitt. 'Nuff said. Oh yeah, phenomenal trailer...)
The Brothers Bloom (I loved the director's previous film -- Brick -- so I am looking forward...)
The Spirit (Frank Miller and lots of hotties...)
Revolutionary Road (From Sam Mendes and starring DiCaprio and Kate Winslet...I smell Oscars...)
Valkeryie (Tom Cruise in a WWII espionage thriller from Bryan Singer...should be intense...)
