District 9: RATED R! I still can't believe it. I was really looking forward to this one, and now with this news my interest has just sky rocketed. Illegal Aliens (the outer space kind) treated like refugees shot in mockumentary style containing strong bloody violence. Can't wait.The Box: Looks like a twisted feature length Twilight Zone episode. Cameron Diaz and James Marsden play a married couple with financial woes who are offered a million dollars by a deformed Frank Langella. All they have to do is push a button inside a box that will kill a stranger in an unknown location. I know Richard Kelly movies (Donnie Darko, Southland Tales) don't even make sense to him let alone an audience, but this one feels more accessible. It also comes out just in time for Halloween.
2012: John Cusack and Chiwetel Ejiofor are possibly two of my favorite actors, so why in God's name are they starring in what is essentially The Day After Tomorrow 2? Roland Emmerich, I think you have done more than enough damage to the planet (Independence Day) and movie going audiences (Godzilla). You need to be stop.
The Invention of Lying: Ricky Gervias discovers how to lie in a nothing but the truth telling world, and turns his ordinary life into a much more exciting one. Quite the opposite of Liar Liar, this one actually looks funny. This film is lucky to have Jennifer Garner as the love interest. She can make any romantic comedy better (Ricky, you are not the only person who knows how to lie. I can too.)
The Hurt Locker: Why can't I be living in a major city where this intense looking war film is playing right now? An elite squad of soldiers in Iraq must seek out and defuse deadly bombs in the middle of harsh urban combat. And you thought your job sucked? Director Kathyrn Bigelow has proved in the past she can make an action film as great as the big boys can (Near Dark & Point Break). Early word is this is her best work yet.
