Coming soon to a theater near you...

"A movie is a picture of a thousand words that moves." Ducca, 2009



I'm a huge movie fan. I love films. ANd i'm excited about some upcoming films, so i'm posting this. Now some of it u might never heard about(i'm surprised some ppl still dunno the movie '2012' yet) so i'm kinda promoting it here. I'm so excited for everyone. I want everyone to know these films. SIGH.


Note: These movies are 'upcoming'. So i wont list 'G.I. Joe' or 'Harry Potter 6'.





DISTRICT 9




This movie caught my attention when i was walking in Star Cineplex Miri sometime ago. The poster really attracted me, and so does the name Peter Jackson. Now i'm not a fan of LOTR but i'm kinda curious wat he was doing post-King Kong.

This is a movie where aliens landed on earth, and our resources are wasted 'protecting' and looking after the welfare of these aliens. So ppl are quite against them aliens, and they were shunted to place called 'District 9'. And of course, in the middle of it all, will be the leading man who is caught between the aliens and the humans. Awww.



9


Ok i'm not quite sure yet what this movie is about. All i know is there's this bunch of dolls each numbered 1, 2, 3 and so on, saving the world. Their world. Hmm. 9 will be ur leading character here...It reminds me alot of the game LittleBigPlanet cos of its dolls...lol...but hey, this is sumthing Tim Burton has a part. I like Tim Burton. This flick kinda reminded me a teeny bit abt The Nightmare Before Christmas, another Burton classic....and...i like it that they played with the date as well. 9-9-9. I'm such a sucka for number-related coincidence stuff bla bla...




WHITEOUT



One name. KATE BECKINSALE. Lol. I heard about Whiteout i think 2 years back...when i read in a mag about upcoming films made based on comics/graphic novels. So i was like...ok....Kate in the Poles...what could happen. But i saw the trailer the ohter day and it rekindled my interest in this flick. I chose this pic(instead of the other one) cos HELLO!! LOOK AT THAT GLASSES!! Lol..She looks so good in the film......




2012


Ok so me and my friend had been discussing abt this since...long time ago. First saw the trailer in Spring Boulevard IT =.="" after i heard about it on the net abt the buzz surrounding this movie. Its a movie about the end of the world, based on the Mayan calendar, which stops on Dec 2012. Since Mayan predictions had came true(hmm...need more research) in the past, ppl had been nervous abt the end of the calendar, since the Mayans are highly regarded for their wisdom in astrology and stuff...lols. So what will happen during the apocalypse? How will it end? Will it end AT ALL? Lucky no need wait till 2012 to find out. This year Nov out ppl.





A CHRISTMAS CAROL



Ok the poster is abit too bright and Christmasy for my liking but oh wells. The story's set in Christmas so yeah. I liked this book alot when i first read it, i was struck by the storyline and the 'lessons' it taught me. Plus the name Ebenezer Scrooge is so weird, i still remember it till this day. Based on Charles Dickens(dun u just luv his books)'s book of the same name, it follows Scrooge as he was visited by ghosts of the past, present and future one Christmas day. Hardly a tale to jingle about ehh?





WOLFMAN



This one is a remake on the classic 1941 'Wolfman' film, this time starring Benicio Del Toro as the lead. I like the poster, but not really how the werewolfs looked. LOL. But the makeups all that is done by Rick Baker, the same guy who applied the zombie makeups in 'Thiller', so it should be quite interesting how it turns out. A horror film i think....lol. Oh and the release date had been pushed to 2010...sigh.





AVATAR





Ignore the May '09. Until now havent come out yet. The tension!! Lol. Luckily its gonna come out end of this year. Details of the story is still sketchy...tho i knew it was released as a test screening sometime back. Directed by James Cameron, the man who gave u Terminator and Titanic, this is the 'most expensive J.Cameron film yet'. Hmmm...i am very curious abt this movie.






SHERLOCK HOLMES



I think my fren Puds will go CRAZY when this film is released. She is such a BIG FAN of Sherlock Holmes. We used to talk about it ALL THE TIME. Robert Downey Jr. as Mr. Holmes, Jude Law as Dr. Watson(WTH!!!!!) and Rachel McAdams as Irene Adler...interesting. This is an edgy Holmes. Younger and edgier. Go see the trailer to know how it looks.





UP


Its by Pixar. 'nuff said.





ALICE IN WONDERLAND




Its by Tim Burton. Got Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. 'nuff said. But i dont like the Cheshire Cat. It is SCARY!!!! OMG!!!!!

I missed Charlie & Choc Factory. I missed Sweeney Todd. I dont wanna miss this.
