20) Tron Legacy
The effects look pretty nifty and Jeff Bridges is friggin' awesome. The first was a cult classic and I have enjoyed most of these sequels of throwback flicks.
19) The Other Guys
I'm not sold on Cop Out. The trailer was a bit iffy. With this one Will Ferrel is supposedly playing a by the book, paperwork loving forensics officer so hopefully he'll be WAY more reserved and allow Wahlberg to play the big mouth this time. Opposite The Rock and Samuel L Jackson as the much better duo should be fun.
18) Green Zone
Matt Damon is channeling his best Bourne in this kick-ass looking politically infused espionage movie.
17) A-Team
Thought about The Losers, but I am looking forward to A-Team more. I like Joe Carnahan and the 4 guys are cast almost perfectly. The only thing that would make it better is if Terry Crewes was Baracus instead of Rampage Jackson.
16) Jonah Hex
DC comics pushing their lesser known characters for smaller budget features is a good idea. Brolin as Hex is even better. Add John Malkovich, Michael Shannon, and Michael Fessbender and it is even better. Not even Megan Fox could ruin my anticipation.
15) Predators
Racking up a decent cast, including the very underrated Walton Goggins of "The Shield" fame, Robert Rodriguez, king of junk food cinema, is producing.
14) Edge of Darkness
Mel Gibson shines again, and this time in a Boston based crime thriller (my favorite kind).
13) Cemetary Junction
Ricky Gervais is an excellent comedic talent and helming his first flick about "dudes hanging out" pretty much makes him a British Kevin Smith but even funnier.
12) Paul
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are like the new Laurel and Hardy. They have excellent chemistry and work off each other perfectly. Not these 2 geeks play the ultimate geeks who find an alien on their way to Comic-Con.
11) The Expendables
With so much testosterone on the screen, this movie is easily in the running as greatest guy movie ever. Mixing Sly and Dolph of the old days with Statham and Li have the new, this is bound to be one of the greatest '80s action movies not filmed in the '80s.
10) Robin Hood
Robin Hood is constantly trying to be revamped to be more realistic and more down to Earth. The combination of Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott is bound to make magic. Plus Kevin Durand is in it.
9) The Fighter
Taking place in my hometown, Lowell, MA, about the hometown hero of Mickey Ward, a small time boxer who is coached to the big time by his older half-brother who couldn't make it due to drug issues. One of Wahlberg's passion projects and featuring Christian Bale and Amy Adams.
8) Clash of the Titans
Remake of the stop-motion classic, it boy, Sam Worthington, gets another shot at proving himself since he is yet to prove to me that he is worth all the hype surrounding him.
7) Due Date
Robert Downey Jr., Zach Galifinakis, and Jamie Foxx starring in Todd Philips follow up to the awesome The Hangover.
6) Toy Story 3
C'mon. Who isn't looking forward to this?
5) Black Swan
If Natalie Portman/Milla Kunis lesbian scene doesn't make you interested, how about Aronofsky supernatural thriller starring Portman and Kunis.
4) Tree of LIfe
Terrance Malick's delayed family drama starring Brad Pitt and narrated by Sean Penn.
3) Shutter Island
Martin Scorsese directing Leonardo DiCaprio in a Dennis Lehane adaptation. SOLD!
2) Iron Man 2
One of the greatest superhero flicks' sequel adding the awesome Mickey Rourke, the sexy Scarlet Johannsen, and the underrated Sam Rockwell.
1) Inception
Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight follow up that may in fact be one of the greatest, most original movies in a long time. Our at least since Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
