Okay, let me veer off of sports today, yesterday was just an outrageous day for sports in DC. Today let’s talk about upcoming movies in 2010. Of course there are plenty of movies, I can’t possibly talk about every movie, but these are the ones that I truly give a shit about. My “must-see” list.
In no particular order..
Get Him to the Greek
Now I’m a pretty big Judd Apatow fan, he seems to have the touch when it comes to comedies…Celtic Pride, Kicking & Screaming, Drillbit Taylor.....whoops! WTF you say? How about the 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad, Pineapple Express, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Well, Get Him to the Greek is a spin-off of the latter, bringing back Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) and more importantly Jonah Hill. Jonah Hill is NOT reprising his character from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, instead he’s playing an entirely different character, an intern. He needs to escort Aldous Snow to a concert in L.A. Mix Judd Apatow (producer) and Jonah Hill together and let the hilarity ensue. Now I thought the funniest thing in Sarah Marshall was Jason Segal, and the best thing was Mila Kunis, but Jonah’s a funny mother fucker. So him and Russell Brand? Can’t be that bad.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
What’s the premise? What the fuck kind of title is this? Let me mention one name and tell me what you think. Michael “George Michael Bluth” Cera. How about I mention another name? Edgar Wright. If those 2 names don’t ring any bells in your head, you don’t know dick about funny movies. (or you have a life and don’t care about shit like that….) Either way, Edgar Wright directed Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead, two must see comedies, two of my favorite MOVIES, let alone comedies. Michael Cera is mother f’ing Michael Cera, google him so I can move on with this shit. Anyhoo, Cera plays Scott Pilgrim. He falls in love with a chick named Ramona V. Flowers, but to get to her he needs to get past her seven ex-boyfriends, who control her love life. They will kill anyone who tries to get with her. Sounds like a crazy comic book? That’s cuz it is, mother fucker. Check out who else is in this movie…Chris Evans, Brandon Routh, Aubrey Plaza, Jason Schwartzman…..damn this is going to be a funny ass movie…can’t wait.
Green Hornet
This is one of those movies that I usually wouldn’t give a shit about, but I found out that Green Hornet is being played by Seth Rogan and that changed everything. Now I’m curious to check it out, if Seth Rogan never made Observe and Report, then this might fall into the “oh shit I bet this movie is going to be Mother F’n Funny!” But he made Observe and Report and all expectations have fallen badly. That might be a good thing for this movie.
Black Swan
Okay so the title of this movie sounds pretty gay, right? Wait ‘til I tell you the premise. Two rival dancers in New York City. That’s it. Yes that’s sounds very gay. Now let me tell you who directs it. Darren Aronofsky. He directed Requiem for a Dream and The Wrestler. Still don’t give a shit? Let me tell you who’s in it. Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman play the rival dancers. I also hear they get it on, in a steamy sex scene. Guess what…this movie just moved up on my pole, way up. Get your head out the gutter.
Shutter Island
Martin Scorsese. Leonardo Dicaprio. Scary island. Crazy-what-the-fuck-is-going-on-trailer. ‘Nuff said.
Machete
Have you seen Grindhouse? If you did, do you remember seeing the “fake” trailer for Machete? Well, it wasn’t fake, this shit is coming out. “They just fucked with the wrong Mexican.” Best tagline ever. Added bonus? Jessica Alba, Robert De Niro, Michelle Rodriguez (I’ve caught shit from my buddies for thinking she’s semi-hot….but hey…she is), and Steven F’n Segal.
Red Dawn
Sound familiar? How’s this? WOLVERINES!!!!! Yes, they remade THAT movie. Should I tell you who’s in it? I’m not gonna bother, ‘cuz you won’t know any of these f’ers anyway. Either way, I have to see this.
Inception
Did you like Dark Knight? Did you like Memento? How do you feel about Leonardo DiCaprio? Ever heard of Joseph Gordon Levitt? Well put them all together this is what you get. I’d tell you what it’s about, but I saw the trailer and I have no fucking clue what’s going on, but it looks cool as shit. That and Christopher Nolan has built up lots of good credit with his resume, that I have plenty of confidence this will be awesome.
Clash of the Titans
Another one of those “yes they remade it” movies. This is probably one of the earliest movies I can remember watching as a kid, beside Cannonball Run. I remember being scared as shit of Medusa and that crazy half man, half horse thing. I’m sure it will look a lot better than the stop motion claymation version of my childhood. Check it out.
The Expendables
While most kids in the 80’s grew up watching Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Better Off Dead….for me it was Commando, Cobra, Terminator, and even shit like Runaway (Tom Selleck movie with the spider robots). This movie pays tribute to all those types of movies. Will it suck? Probably. But when you have Sylvester Stallone (also the writer and director), Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph “Drago” Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Eric Roberts in one movie……wow.
The A-Team
Close your eyes. Remember the theme song? Remember the Van? Remember Mr.T, Face, Hannibal, and Murdock. Now open your eyes and check this out.
Kick-Ass
Have you ever felt frustrated by crime and wanted to do something about it, but you grew up as a big pussy? Well imagine Peter Parker became Spider-Man, except that he never got bit by the spider and never got any super powers. Well, this is that movie. Basically a kid, wants to be a real-life superhero and DOES, without any money or powers. Google the Red-Band Trailer of this movie and you will shit yourself, it is that impressive. If you like the movie Wanted, more than likely you will LOVE this.
What movies are YOU looking forward to this year?
