Here's a chance to discuss something!
Does anyone have any movies that are coming out soon that they're really excited about...?
- Alice in Wonderland
- Coraline
- Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
are all currently top of my list, I'm slightly concerned that they all seem to be aimed at kids though! 
I'm in my early 20s - is there anything else I should be excited about?

I am kind of interested in seeing Public Enemies, but the reviews so far have been mixed.
Not sure what to make of the new Alice. When I read the originals John Tenniel's illustrations captured the 'dream world' feeling perfectly. The pictures of Burton's remake look a little over the top to me, which is one of my main criticisms of his Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remake. But I'm reserving my judgement until it's actually released. |

This makes me feel old!
I'm looking forward to Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs; it's one of the few non-Pixar CG films that hasn't made me cringe yet. Seems like an interesting premise and I like the visual style of the characters.
The only other film I'm really looking forward to is Pixar's Up. I know nothing about it but Pixar has a fantastic track record (despite their Disney connection...) ;P
District 9 might be interesting too, a sci-fi thriller produced by Peter Jackson.
The new Alice In Wonderland looks a little too overboard for me. I'm getting a little sick of the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp combo. I'm also sick of Helena Bonham Carter in general, she seems to play a similar role in every single film.

I saw it last night. Don't bother, its too long and the plot is too weak - its three-hours of nothing really. |

Yes, this one definitely looks interesting - I'm heading to see this later next week when it opens.
Gamer also looks like it might be a good mindless action flick.
How about the remake of The Karate Kid (cunningly disguised with a subtle name change to Kung Fu Kid)?
And surely this one will be a hit... I mean, everyone loved Day After Tomorrow, right? Right?!
OK, enough with the silliness... Can't wait for Transformers 3! 
Cheers,
athe.

| Inglourious Basterds might also be worth catching too. |

I'd have to agree unfortunately.

Athe, I know you're being sarcastic, but I'm sure there are people that would throw sharp objects at you for saying that...

I'm a bit curious about this one I must admit.
I've just found out Coraline can be seen in 3D!! I've never been to a 3D movie... are they worth it??
My Sisters Keeper looks a bit dramatic. I've heard the book is good, has anyone heard anything about the movie?

Looks good. 
I saw Coraline with a friend the other night, it was lovely! 
Kinda creepy with the eyes/buttons in parts, and there's a few scenes where I'm reminded of someone I know... Does this look familiar to anyone else? I was thinking Sandra Bullock, but there's someone else and I can't place it...
Anyone seen Ponyo?

I sense much anger here, Doogs. Should I be ashamed to admit I caught the end of Shall We Dance the other night?
Adam- I've just realised you have no dancing emoticons!

I wanted to buy the Japanese version of it, but it was just too damned expensive... around $60. I think I might see if there's a version floating around on the internet for less. Hopefully about $60 less.

Nope, my anger is entirely directed at two miscreants (who shall remain nameless) who continually suggested that we go see this movie in Japan.

Haha.. I love it how things "float" around the interwebs.
I think I might reserve Ponyo for the cinemas though... mind you if they charge me $20 again like they did with Coraline I might have to pull out the

Do you think you'd be less... angst-y if you'd seen it? Just a thought..
