Upcoming Movies
Categories: Pictures
Sarah and I used to go to the theatre a lot to see movies, despite only having crappy ones in Charlottesville. Since we've moved, we've gone to the movies a lot less. I think we have seen maybe four movies in the theatres since July (Batman Begins, War of the Worlds, Wedding Crashers, and Walk the Line). There are a lot of reasons, I guess: Netflix, money, crappy movies in the theatres, and a not so great theatre in Rock Hill.
But there are a number of movies coming out that I want to try and get to, beginning this Friday.
Syriana is already out in select markets. I don't think it will make it to Charlotte, but who knows. This looks good, with a good cast and engaging issues.
The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe tomorrow. I'm excited about this one. I read these books before LotR. Weta did the effects. It looks very cool.
King Kong on December 14th. Giant ape, dinosaurs, Peter Jackson. How could you go wrong? This is also one of those "must see in the theatre" movies. I'll probably have to see it twice in the theatre because it's three hours long and I know I will have to get up during the movie at some point to go pee.
The New World on January 13th looks interresting as well, with Terance Malik directing and Christain Bale and Colin Farrell starring.
Next year also brings the new Superman movie, the next X-Men movie, and perhaps both of the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels.
