Terminator Salvation (2009,  PG-13)
Terminator Salvation
Being a huge fan of the first two The Terminator movies (the third one was a disgrace!) I was stunned that they were making another. However, it will just be one of those movies I have to watch no matter what the reviews are going to be like.

Nothing can compare to the brilliance of the originals but, after watching the trailer, it actually looks quite decent enough and I love Christian Bale so it is something I have to see.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009,  PG)
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Arthur Weasley: Times like these, dark times, they do funny things to people. They can tear them apart.

After watching the trailer I really couldn't wait to see this. But after finally watching it, I can't help but feel a little disappointed. Overall it was ok but the aspects they missed out of the book could have helped to make this a little better than it actually was.

Professor Minerva McGonagall: Why is it that whenever something happens, you three are always involved?
Ron Weasley: Believe me, professor, I've been asking myself that for the last six years.

Review on it's way.

Seven Pounds
Just seen the trailer looks decent enough so could be worth checking out.
8
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008,  PG-13)
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The plot sounds incredibly bizarre, but the trailer looked amazing.!
9
The Spirit (2008,  PG-13)
The Spirit
The Spirit: My city, I can not deny her. My city screams. She is my mother. She is my lover, and I am her Spirit.

Firstly, I think I should start of by saying I actually wanted to watch some of Frank Millers other work like Sin City or 300 before watching this.

Having watched it anyway, I didn't love it but I didn't hate it either. I was left feeling disappointed more than anything else, as throughout the entire movie I felt like I was just waiting for it to get better but it never did I just found myself waiting for it to be over as soon as possible and I was glad when it was.

The Spirit: Somebody find me a tie! I don't care what kind, but by God, it had better be red!

The acting was reasonable yet at times irritating; yes, I even found Samuel L. Jackson's performance annoying. Nevertheless, the acting was not the only aspect that left me feeling irritated some scenes particularly the ones with the 'The Spirit' narrating were just plain annoying. Even more so, because I loved the comic book style of the movie it was great to watch, this had potential to be better than it was but turned out to be dull and unrealistic.

Overall, I was left feeling bored on some occasions but vaguely entertained in some parts although not enough for me to want to see this again, at one point I actually wished I had stayed home and watched Sin City.

The Spirit: "What are you?" That's what the woman asked me. Am I some sort of ghost? I still move. I still breathe. I'm still alive.
10
Watchmen (2009,  R)
Watchmen
Rorschach: The world will look up and shout "Save us!"... And I'll whisper "No."

12
Bedtime Stories (2008,  PG)

Im not a huge Adam Sandler fan and I also cannot stand Russell Brand, but this does not seem too bad so could be work checking out at some point.
13
Marley & Me (2008,  PG)
Marley & Me
Hmmm looks like another typical movie from Jennifer Aniston, though the trailer was not to bad, certainly seems to be appealing so could be worth checking out at some point.
14
Bolt (2008,  PG)

Could be worth checking out at some point.
15
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009,  PG)

19
2012 (2009,  PG-13)
2012
Trailer looks rather good but is it another typical movie form Roland Emmerich?

Something I definitely want to check out, however, depending on the reviews this movie gets I may wait to see it and not rush out to the cinema.

After reading some horrible reviews, I still want to see this but more so for the special effects than anything else.

I doubt this will be any different from the other two reasonable sequels. They seem to be mildly entertaining so could be worth checking out at some point but the trailer may change my mind will have to wait and see.

Hmmm im not to sure what I think of this after watching the trailer. It looked shit and well stupid! Maybe I hated it because the whole roof top chase scene was a little to Bourne-esque. Im hoping the actually movie is a lot better, will have to wait and see.

Tekken (2009,  Unrated)
Tekken
I never normally want to see movies that were originally computer games. Mainly because I have never played the games, so I have no interest in them. But I actually remember this from my childhood so it could be worth checking out at some point, might change my mind once I have seen the trailer but for now this is something I want to see.

53
Notorious (2009,  R)

Yes, I want to see this!

X-Men Origins - Wolverine
The trailer was not too bad and after watching X-Men, I was really looking forward to this. But I have heard it's absolutely terrible and judging from other reviews it looks pretty likely that this is going to be shit. I am extremely gutted, this could have been a great movie. Will have to just wait and see how bad it really is. ;(

The Last House on the Left (2009,  R)
The Last House on the Left
Hmmm like many other movies, it looks like the best parts of the movie are shown in the trailer, which is incredibly annoying.

One thing that puts me off about this movie is Garret Dillahunt I did not like him much in The Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

With that said the movie did not look to bad so could be worth checking out at some point. But it is not something I would pay to see so mostly likely to catch it when im flicking through the channels.

The original may be worth checking out too.

69
Leaves of Grass (2009,  R)

71

As long as Zac Efron does not break into song or dance routine, it cannot be that bad. Can it?
