No, really!
Crossing Over: Never heard of it. I agree with what they wrote, except that with the LA and immigration (IE, race) thing, it sounds way more like Crash than Babel.
Cadillac Records: Whoah, this is coming out this year?!? This is what happens when you don't read movie blogs for like three months. I predict it'll probably go the same way as Dreamgirls...
Frost/Nixon: I'm still waiting for Couric/Palin.
War Zone: Wha?
The Reader: Oh, so this is '08 after all. Kate Winslet owns.
Che: This is '08 too? It's either going to rock, or suck really hard.
The Day The Earth Stood Still: I don't see the need for this.
Doubt: Movies based on plays are very hit and miss especially with relatively inexperienced directors, but with Meryl, Jesus, and PSH, I'm there. Eventually.
Nothing Like the Holidays: Sounds... dumb.
The Wrestler: I thought this was like, 2045 or something, not 2008. Anyway, Darren Aronofsky can do no wrong... unless he goes pretentious.
Gran Torino: Did Changeling or The Changeling or whatever already come out? Is Eastwood pulling a Flags/Iwo Jima thing again, where after his first movie bombs critically, he releases the second one because he "always planned to do that" or whatever?
The Brothers Bloom: This looks hilarious and I wanna see Rachel gettin' funny.
Seven Pounds: Will Smith's usual holiday fluff. I mean that in the best possible way, as the movies are usually extremely enjoyable.
Yes Man: Crappy-looking. And yes, it looks just like Liar Liar, except that instead of always telling the truth, he always has to say "yes." Or some stupid shit like that.
The Tale of Despereaux: This looks cute, and it's got some really great actors playing the voice roles.
Nothing But the Truth: Meh.
Bedtime Stories: Double meh.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: That's a stunning promo picture/still/whatever it's called. Are there any advance reviews of this movie? Great? Sucky? It's Fincher so I'll be there, but it's Blanchett so I won't be all that thrilled about it.
Marley and Me: This one's getting a lot of hype from the media. I don't get it. I do like dogs and think they are adorable, however.
The Spirit: Too much Sin City redux, down to the hodgepodge yet still bizarrely awesome cast.
Revolutionary Road: I'M SO THERE. This is the one movie I am totally determined to see this holiday season. I worry the super late release date will doom it in awards season, but... it's Kate and Leo. It should get attention. Right?
Valkyrie: My friend and I saw a commercial for this one and couldn't stop laughing. NEXT.
Defiance: It could be really great, but... it's Edward Zwick. Ew, semi-colon not so much.
Anne Hathaway's going to get a fucking Oscar nomination this year, isn't she? Shit.
