Just reading the EW covering the fall movie season, and I just ain't thrilled about this year. I think when the dust settles this is not going to be the masterpiece everyone seems to think it will be. I think the only film released this year that could be called truly great is probably Knocked Up.
HOWEVER, I do have a list of ten or so that appeal to me quite a bit.
1. Elizabeth: The Golden Age - I think the original was a masterpiece and adding Clive Owen as a pirate, bringing back Geoffrey Rush, and that kickass trailer seal the deal for me.
2. Sweeney Todd - Burton remains a question mark, but the potential of this one is sky high. If everyone is firing on all cylinders, could be a masterpiece.
3. No Country For Old Men - Looks awesome. Great cast. Combining Coens and McCarthy is a great idea. And everyone who has seen it loves it.
4. I'm Not There - Big Bob Dylan fan, and the trailer is ferocious. If nothing else, this should be damn interesting.
5. The Darjeeling Limited - The ad did little for me, but I loved Anderson's last three across the boards, so I'll probably love this.
Also looking hot:
American Gangster
The Mist
310 to Yuma
Walk Hard
Sleuth
Yep, genre pics. All the Iraq movies are really gonna have a lot to prove.
