Coming soon

Hi,

There are quite a few films I’m looking forward to seeing over the next few months.

Starting this week; is the Bruce Willis sci-fi action film called Surrogates. I like the premise of this, but my main concern is how silly the story may get by the end. Willis is a fine actor and he does add some solid weight to this film, along with a pretty good cast. The SFX shown in the trailer look reasonable good, but it’s where the story will end up that does worry me. Hopefully it won’t become a mediocre ending sign posted from the start.

Fame, remake of course also opens this weekend. Not one to get widely excited about, it may be ok. My daughter likes the look of it though and may get more out of it than me.

Some other films coming in the next few weeks.

Pandorum (October), and we are back to sci-fi, and a film which seems a cross between Alien, Aliens and Event Horizon. Ben Foster and Dennis Quaid head the cast list and direction is by Christian Alvart. This I really like the look of, Foster is a smart actor and I think Alvart could be a pretty strong Director in time. Got high hopes for this.

Zombieland (October) – Tony pointed this out, and it looks superb. The trailer is great and really makes me want to see this film. Along with some super reviews I can’t wait for this. Jesse Eisenberg (Adventureland) and Woody Harrelson are the main stars and the film is directed by Ruben Fleischer.

Jennifer’s Body (November) – A horror/comedy written by Diablo Cody, directed by Karyn Kusama and starring Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried (Mama Mia). I want this to be good and it looked ok from the trailer. But then the reviews are coming out they are not that positive, some are ok but the main problem they say is the horror isn’t there! But we shall see.

Staying on the horror theme and with Halloween approaching we have the next chapter in the Saw franchise. Halloween 2 which I’ve not heard anything good about. The Stepfather remake and Cirque du Freak: A vampire’s assistant, one I must admit I’m looking forward to seeing.
And the teenage girls’ event of the year – New Moon (Twilight 2) also opens in November.

And even further in the future and ones I’ll talk about another time. Daybreakers, Law abiding Citizen, The fourth kind, The Box, 2012, The Road, Ninja Assassin, Sherlock Holmes and Avatar.
