My Most Anticipated Movies

Lewis

Pretty self-explanatory. These are simply the movies that I'm looking forward to seeing the most. They may not have been released yet, or they could be older movies that I missed out on the first time around. I'll try to remember to keep this updated as I cross movies off my list.

1	Alice in Wonderland (2010, Unrated)
2	The Lovely Bones (2009, PG-13)
3	Where the Wild Things Are (2009, PG) Where the Wild Things Are is as mercurial and as hard to get a handle on as the emotionally unstable young boy who is its focus. It's visually captivating, occasionally frightening, and heartfelt in its inconsistency. Max is clearly dealing with emotions that are difficult enough for an adult to handle. His anger, fear, and sense of being ignored are all embodied by the wild things that make him king, and he learns about himself through them. Their dangerous and destructive play, their fear-fueled rages, it all helps Max understand more about his own life. The beginning seems hurried and the ending seems abrupt, with not enough emphasis on whether Max has truly learned anything. Other than that, I did not see much to complain about. This isn't a "kid's movie" (even though the kids at the theater I went to seemed to enjoy every minute of it). There is more danger than humorous circumstances and no pop-culture references to be seen. I don't know if this is the movie I would have made, but I have to respect the effort and creativity that made a very brief book into a very unique film.
4	Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009, PG)
5	Machete (2010, Unrated)
6	Paranormal Activity (2009, R)
7	Up (2009, PG)
8	[Rec] 2 (2009, Unrated)
9	District 9 (2009, R)
10	Sherlock Holmes (2009, PG-13)
