The future is here...

Ah, the future...or at least the future of the past...lemme just mention that I'm still waiting for my personal jetpack...and this whole lack of a car that folds up into a briefcase is kinda getting to me...

Today, however, I am looking at a future that's likely to happen, the future of movies as compiled by Ain't it Cool News's Harry and MiraJeff - I'd link to it, but there are a few not-so-school-appropriate words used to describe how excited he is about some of the upcoming movies. Harry lists the eighty-five movies scheduled to come out this year that he's excited about, and I thought I'd take a minute to mention some of them in case you were wondering what might be coming to my other blog this year.

#3 - Hail Caaesar - Coen Brothers, George Clooney, 1920 theater group putting on Julius Caesar. I'm smelling a whiff of O, Brother, and that's a smell that could be mighty tasty...

#4 - Scoop - admittedly, I haven't seen Match Point yet, but Scarlet Johansson and Woody Allen can't be too bad...

#8 - A Prairie Home Companion - Robert Altman's a studly director...love the ensemble work...and with a cast like this, it's something that should be fun to see...hopefully we'll get a whiff of Riders in the Sky...

#8b - The Fountain - possibly the coolest trailer of the year...

#9 - X3 - have I mentioned the whole I'm-a-comic-book-geek thing before?

#13 - V for Vendetta - amazing graphic novel, phenomenal story, rockin' preview...

#22 - Thank You for Smoking - black (lung) comedy about a cigarette spokesman...

#26 - American Dreamz - I wish I'd get to meet Mandy Moore through the Pasta for Pennies campaign, but I'll settle for the movie mocking American Idol and the president...

#79 Casino Royale - I've seen every Bond movie so far - the last half dozen or so in the theater...hopefully Daniel Craig can reverse the tragectory of the last two or three...they stunk...

And ones that I really don't want to see...The DaVinci Code, Superman Returns - even though I'll certainly be seeing it because I'm a big comic book goober geek//
