Welcome 2011. Bring us some good movies, please. Especially this summer... Because, frankly, January's lineup is weak sauce. I can only find three movies I have a remote desire to try out.
My Most Anticipated Movie this January is: The Way Back - Yeah, I know, Colin Farrell is in this and it's my most anticipated movie?? I couldn't believe it either. Despite Colin's terribleness, the movie is directed by Peter Weir. You might know him from directing: Master and Commander, The Truman Show, and Dead Poets Society. It also stars a young man I think will be a very well known actor one day - Jim Sturgess. He starred in one of my favorite movies (#23 on my flickchart.com) - Across the Universe. He might be better known for one of his merely decent roles in the highly publicized "21." But I think The Way Back will make him a more known star because he deserves it. I project a B-. (01/21)
My Second Most Anticipated Movie this January is: The Green Hornet - This is a strange movie and I'll tell you why. First off, it's a super hero movie starring Seth Rogen. Weird. Second, Jay Chou (the Chinese guy) has never been in a movie titled with only English words and so it's strange that his first is a high-budget movie starring a big movie star. Pretty Weird. And third, this movie is directed by Michel Gondry (who I love, but most people don't). He is the director of such movies: Be Kind Rewind (2008), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), and The Science of Sleep (2006). (Also he directed an episode of cult-fav TV series Flight of the Conchords). Ultimately, I think this movie will be okay. I think enough Seth Rogen will make it funny and enough cool gadgets and cars will make it testerone-y enough. I'm projecting a C+. (01/14)
The Company Men - New Release Date (01/21) See my opinion from back when it was supposed to be released...here.
Barney's Version - This stars two phenomenal actors - Paul Giamatti and Dustin Hoffman. The trailer for this film makes me worry about it's style and direction, but the quality of actors and the amazing story pulls me in.
