Your most anticipated Movies for the rest of the year?

Black Swan -- this is generally getting rave early reviews, and it looks like Portman's career-best to date. I have a feeling the sex scene won't be the titillation many seem to expect.
The Tree of Life--looks like it might be coming out this year.
The Town--the trailers and TV spots on this thing just look terrific
Let Me In--director of Cloverfield, starring Chloe Moretz, looking more like The Ring in terms of remakes, rather than your typical remake.
Wall Street 2--I hope Carey Mulligan is more than just the Girlfriend in this, but Josh Brolin as a slimy bad guy. Yes, please.
Harry Potter 7--I have a feeling they'll screw this up the way (IMO) they did Half-Blood Prince, but we'll see.
Welcome to the Rileys--always nice to see Kristen Stewart in a non-Twilight role. She was terrific in Adventureland.
 
No particular order:

The Town
Tron Legacy
The Social Network

On the fence about Let Me In (saw the original and thought it was great) and the next Chronicles of Narnia.
 
1. Tree of Life
2. Social Network
3. Black Swan
4. The Fighter
5. Tron Legacy
6. True Grit
7. Jackass 3D


No idea why The Town is getting such a good rep. Maybe the trailers have been the main turn off for me, but it looks like a cheesy mess. Not to mention one of em gave away the whole arc of the film :dry:
 
The Way Back
The Fighter
The Town
Tree of Life
Jackass 3D
The Social Network
True Grit
Black Swan
127 Hours
Due Date
Wall Street 2
Deathly Hallows I
 
When I saw all of you guys posting "Black Swan", I thought to myself..."why?" But then I saw the trailer. Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis making out? Now I understand.

Aside from that , which I'm sure will be great , the movie looks really interesting and there is a decent fan base here for the director.
 
Tron Legacy
Harry Potter

also wouldn't mind seeing

The Adjustment Bureau
Narnia: Dawn Treader
Jackass 3D
Social Network, possibly.

You think Affleck being a bankrobber is a spoiler? Or are you talking about something else?
 
The films that haven't come out yet that i'm interested in are...

Buried
Due Date
127 Hours
Unstoppable
Harry Potter
Skyline(maybe, looks interesting but i'm almost burnt out on Alien films as much as I am with ghost/possession films.)
Black Swan(another maybe but it's Aronofsky)
Chronicles of Narnia(read the books growing up and although I didn't care for Prince Caspian I never cared for that book either but liked the Dawn Treader).
Tron: Legacy
True Grit
The Social Network(probably wait for home video though)

Still not sure about Let Me In but i'll most likely catch it on home video. Mainly to see how it compares to the original.
 
Gotta say from what I've been hearing about Black Swan that film is probably the one I've got inked in.
 
1. The Town - Gone Baby, Gone was brilliant, and the cast is great.
2. Black Swan - looks freaky.
3. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 - of course.
4. Never Let Me Go - huge Knightley fan, and the book was very good.
5. Red - just looks fun.
6. The Social Network - I'm hoping that this will get Aaron Sorkin back on track, because I haven't loved anything he's done since he left The West Wing.
 
Machete
Red
Unstoppable
Faster
The Fighter
Due Date
The Other Guys
Jackass 3D
 
Always interesting in threads like these to see some posters here don't seem to have any interest in films outside of the action and fantasy genre.

The Way Back

Is this definitely coming out this year?

Red.

Btw, some grammar Nazi jerk told me to inform you that your title is missing an I.

Haha! noted. :D

But with that said, clears throat Screw the True Grit remake and the Coen Brothers are wrong for trying.

I understand that it is not a direct remake, but a new adaptation. But some books are so iconically adapted, such as Gone with the Wind, The Godfather, Jaws, LA Confidential, To Kill a Mockingbird, etc. that another adaptation is not only unnecessary, but somewhat offensive. True Grit is one of those films.

I love the John Wayne movie but having not read the book I can't say whether another version is merited or not, any idea what those who have read it think?

I couldn't disagree more, but oh well.

I still don't really blame them,some genres are completely tasteless and/or are vapid as hell.

More vapid than the action genre? I wasn't having a go at them, I was simply making an observation.
 
Tron Legacy
Harry Potter 7.1
True Grit (where's the goddamn trailer?)
Black Swan
Narnia: Dawn Treader

I'll probably see more than these once I see previews/reviews, but these are my must-sees for the rest of the year.

Yup,and the horror genre,and I'll admit that I love those two still,regardless. I know,it's cool man.

It's probably bias, but I thought the Cohen Bro's said they were going to make a more faithful adaptation?

It could be false, I too have never read the book so I don't know. But I thought they said they wanted to be more so faithful to the source. So what that entails I do not know. But I guess we will find out int he coming months. :woot:
 
All I know is that the top two that I want to see the most are Buried and 127 hours. I hope those films keep you on the edge of your seat for the most part. Even though we know how 127 hours turns out it's all about how Boyle handles it.
 
Oh, yeah. I might see Buried and 127 Hours. depends how good they seem from the reviews.

For those two films I think i'm going to try to ignore the reviews until after i've seen them. The buried idea sounds great, don't think i've seen a film like that before and 127 hours should have some good drama to it as well...not to mention it looks beautiful.
 
Tree of Life
The Social Network
Let Me In
True Grit
 
Skyline
Monsters
