Movies I’m looking forward to

Jumper

200711302356

Plot Outline: “A genetic anomaly allows a young man to teleport himself anywhere. He discovers this gift has existed for centuries and finds himself in a war that has been raging for thousands of years between “Jumpers” and those who have sworn to kill them.”
Starring: Hayden Christensen, Samuel L. Jackson.
Trailer: HD 480p*

Why I’m excited: The concept is awesome, just check the trailer. I’m looking so much forward to the action scenes.

Why it may suck: Hayden Christensen.

I Am Legend

200711302356

Plot Outline: “Robert Neville (Will Smith) is a brilliant scientist, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable, and man-made. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and maybe the world.”
Starring: Will Smith.
Trailer: HD 480p (1), HD 480p (2)*

Why I’m excited: Once again, check the trailer, the concept is just cool, and the look of the movie is pretty cool. I have a thing for post-apocalyptic worlds, so I’m really looking forward for this one.

Why it may suck: Well, Will Smith has starred in a lot of crap. As seen in the trailer he fights zombie like creatures, which is pretty cool, but it’s also quite easy to ruin the movie. Also, I have no idea what the story line of the movie is, so I can’t really say much about it.

The Orphanage

200711302357

Plot Outline: “Laura returns to the house where she was raised, and decides to transform it into an orphanage. Soon, her son, Simón, makes an invisible friend…”
Starring: Some Spanish actors.
Trailer: HD 480p*

Why I’m excited: It seems to have the style of Pan’s Labyrinth, in some way, and children with masks are fucking scary.

Why it may suck: Well, it may just be another mediocre horror movie, it’s been a long, long time since a proper movie of that genre was made, outside Japan.

Cloverfield

200711302357

Plot Outline: “Revolves around a monster attack in New York as told from the point of view of a small group of people.”
Starring: Unknown actors (yay!),
Trailer: HD 480p*

Why I’m excited: I love Lost, and this seems to be mysterious in a Lostish kind of way.

Why it may suck: It won’t (please).

No Country for Old Men

200711302359

Plot Outline: “Violence and mayhem ensue after a hunter stumbles upon some dead bodies, a stash of heroin and more than $2 million in cash near the Rio Grande.”
Starring: Tommy Lee Jones, Woody Harrelson, and more.
Trailers: HD 480p (1), HD 480p (2)*

Why I’m excited: I love the Coen Brothers, and the has gotten great reviews.

Why it may suck: As Cloverfield, I doubt it will.
