Top Ten Upcoming Movies

*** OK I know I haven't posted in an extremely long time and I apologize, that is, if anyone actually ever reads this blog. Anyway, I will try my very very best to post more often Here goes:***
Top Ten Movies I Can't Wait To See:
1.) Twilight
I cannot express to you how much these books have meant to me. Not only are they wonderful, but they have brought me together with some really true friends that I might not have been as close to without this book to share to start us off. I am so proud to be a Captain in the ever-growing Twilight army, for which I am constantly recruiting. Everyone I tell to read the first book comes back to me weeks, sometimes even only days later, begging for the next book. I say get your own! Haha, just kidding. But this is an incredible story that I cannot wait to see how it has been captured/adapted to film. I do regret in advance though the sacrifices that I'm sure have been made, but it is impossible to keep every single detail from a book accurate on screen. Not only would it be boring to watch entirely in first person, but a lot of the cinematic visuals would have been lost. So I look forward to blogging that response.
2.) Alice In Wonderland
So this movie is not coming out until what is it? 2010? 2011? Either way, I have YEARS to wait and yet the idea of this masterpiece being done by Tim Burton gives me goosebumps of joy just thinking about it. And Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter? And ALAN RICKMAN as the CATERPILLAR???? Need I say more?
3.) Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
So I have to say it: Twilight totally pushed this film back. But being the kind of "love all" person I am, (I don't choose sides in the ridiculous Potter vs. Twilight war which I think is silly. Why can't we all just get along???) I was heartbroken when I heard that I'd have to wait til next year to see this. What the heck happened? I want my Potter fix thankyouverymuch.
4.) The Vintner's Luck
OK so this movie is a French language film filmed in New Zealand set in France. It is starring the smoldering Gaspard Ulliel (my vote for Edward, though I am very pleased with the Pattinson-ness) as an ANGEL. On the one hand, we have amazing sexy moments to look forward to, and on the other hand, we have the lovely New Zealand countryside to... who am I kidding? Gaspard. Half naked. For 2 whole hours. 'Nuff said.
5.) Australia
The trailer makes me cry it is so beautiful and well-executed. Easily on my list of top ten movie trailers (hmm, maybe I should post that one next, eh?) for its use of score, dramatic editing, just... all about it. So if the trailer is that good, does that mean "mastermind trailer editors" or "bound to be an amazing epic adventure?" Can't wait to find out.
6.)Pirates of the Caribbean 4 (yet untitled)
I know it's going to be a long wait, but at least there's something to wait for. I was shocked and amazed that Depp would agree to reprise, yet again, the only role in the history of his career he's ever done more than once. And I couldn't be more thrilled. I just hope, with Elizabeth and Will's storyline complete, that Disney does not churn this out for the heck of it with some random characters that we don't care about (um, The Haunted Mansion much? That one was a HUGE disappointment.) but instead comes out with something brilliant, unexpected, and memorable. Here's hoping.
7.) Quantum of Solace
I will be the first to admit, as a former Bond purist, that I did not want Daniel Craig to be Bond. Bond is brunet! He is dark-haired, debonair, and no. As hot as he was in Tomb Raider, I just wasn't going to have it. But after about, oh, 5 minutes into the film, I was hooked. It was what "Batman Begins" did with Batman: it was real, it was gritty, it was classy, it was serious, and it was still Bond just the same. And after seeing Craig in "The Jacket", I'm glad he stuck with his natural color instead of going dark and looking creepy. So now that "Casino Royale" is one of my all-time go-to films, I am dying to see what happens next. (But I loved Vesper, 'sigh'.)
8.)The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
I love Heath Ledger. Yes, in the present tense. I will always love him, and I know I am not alone in this. This is the last film he ever made, and I want to see it. The creativity and determination of the folks who made this film possible without it having been finished by Ledger is outstanding, and in my book, heroic. Kudos to Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law for taking on the role to let this film be.
9.)Sherlock Holmes
Brilliant. English mystery at its best, I am very intrigued to see what kind of storyline they have in store for us. It is bound to be a treat.
10.) Terminator Salvation
Undeniably epic, and yet, with Terminator II being the best, and the 3rd being straight-up awful, the odds on this one being a good film are questionable. I am ready and willing to decide.

Other ones that didn't make the top 10 but I still want to see: Madagascar 2, The Time Traveler's Wife, The Reader, The Brothers Bloom, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Revolutionary Road, Inkheart, Possession (2009, not to be confused with the 2002 classic), He's Just Not That Into You, Push, The Box, Duplicity, Knowing, Dragonball, Angels & Demons, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Defiance, The Great Pretender, Amelia, and about a million more.
