To be excited about!! In order of their release:
The Time Traveler’s Wife - August 14, 2009. Based on the book by Audrey Niffenegger, which I’m reading right now. I’ve been meaning to read it for YEARS and the movie coming out was just the thing I needed to kick my ass into gear (I don’t want to see the movie until I finish the book). It stars Rachel McAdams as Clare, who I LOVE.
The Final Destination - August 28, 2009. The 4th (and apparently final) movie in the series… I love crappy horror movies, and these ones are no exception (although I haven’t seen 3 yet). Why am I so stoked for this one then? Two characters, my friends: “3″ and “D”. That’s right, the movie will be released in 3D. The tagline is “Death has never been closer”. Ummmm… amazing!
Sorority Row - September 11th, 2009. Cheesy, crappy horror flick + Rumor Willis? Pass me the popcorn!
2012 - November 13th, 2009. Based on, well, “truth”. Depending on if you believe in that sort of thing. What sort of thing? The sort of theory that the world is going to end on December 21, 2012 (when the Mayan calendar mysteriously ends - damn those Mayans!). There’s lots of other theories as to why THIS is the date the world will end - various prophecies by various prophets, the Pope list (the official name is “St Malachy’s Prophecy”, but whose keeping tabs?) , etc etc… I could ramble forever. Does this make me sound crazy? Maybe a little. Either way, I’m looking forward to the movie.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon - November 20th, 2009. Every tween girls dream… no, I am not 13 but I loved the booked and Robert Pattinson is hot, okay?
The Lovely Bones - December 11th 2009. Based on the book by Alice Sebold, which is one of my favourite books ever - I’ve read it 5 times, and used it in grade 12 as my ISU novel. Possibly the most exciting movie to be released in a looooong time for me.
Alice in Wonderland - March 5th, 2010. Loosely based on the game “Alice” by American McGee, it’s a dark(ish) sequel to the original Disney piece. I love Alice in Wonderland - it’s one of my favourite childhood movies - and as I mentioned in a previous blog, I loved the game (though I never managed to beat it).
Anddddddd breathe. Sorry, I’ve been holding my breath waiting for a few of these to come out! Unfortunately, I’ve still got a ways to go for some of them… December - and I never, ever thought I’d say this since I now live in Northern Ontario, where we get snow in early October, but - PLEASE COME FASTER!
