My 2010 Anticipated Movies

Wow.
2010 is almost halfway now.
I know I have said this a lot but time really flies fast.
It is definitely a year of full activities for me.
I am scheduled to finish my M.Ed by end of this year, InsyaAllah.
And The e-Beautique is getting better, we're joining more bazaars this year.
I'm turning a-quarter-century-th old by October.
I am collecting more and more heels in 2010.
And I have never gone to karaoke sessions more than ever.
*thanks to you-know-who-you-are*
It's definitely a year of 'more'!

On top of that,
my list for the anticipated movies of 2010 has totally grown.
Some of the movies are already watched earlier this year.
Avatar, Sherlock Holmes, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, Nine, Alice in Wonderland, The Lovely Bones, Clash of the Titans, Shutter Island.
*apa lagi ek?*
'The Lovely Bones' was a bit disappointing for me, sadly.
I expected more but you know,
when movies are made out of books and you have actually read the books,
you'll definitely hope the movie versions to be as good as the books.
But that rarely happens.
Except for 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'Shopaholic'.
And 'P.S. I Love You' was a terrible movie which is a waste because it's such a good novel.

Nevertheless,
I still have few anticipated movies for another half of 2010.

'Prince of Persia'
For old times' sake, you know.
It was among the first DOS games I played, together with Pacman and Wolfenstein.
God I miss those games.

'Inception'
*trailer*
Another Leo DiCaprio movie.
I am no more biased, he's a terribly good actor.
He's like the new Johnny Depp, you know.
But I like it that he dons serious characters because he doesn't bore me at all.
I have watched him grow, basically, from 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape?' to 'Titanic' to 'Blood Diamond' and he's getting so much better he amazes me each time.
Can't wait for this one.

'The Road'
*trailer*
It's from a novel by Cormac McCarthy.
I haven't had any chance to read it but I promise myself I will before the movie comes out.
I know it's a good novel because Oprah suggested it in 'The Oprah Book Club'.
And based on the trailer, it seems like it is a good one.
I highly hope so.

'Takers'
*trailer*
Okay, here's a confession.
I love movies that support the themes of casino, stealing, deception, manipulation.
'Ocean's Eleven' is still my favourite movie. And so is 'Swordfish'. And 'Hackers'.
Basically, 'Takers' adopts the same theme- stealing, deception, manipulation.
And cunning intelligence.
The actors are also yummy-licious so it's a plus point.
Paul Walker, T.I., Jay Hernandez.

'Beastly'
*trailer*
This is purely for fun, no brains needed.
I like Vanessa Hudgens although I don't watch 'High School Musical'.
I just think she's really pretty.
It's similar to the classic 'The Beauty and the Beast' which is my most favourite Disney cartoon.
And there are also Mary-Kate Olsen and Neil Patrick Harris so it sounds good to me.

There are few other movies out this year as well and although they are big titles,
I just don't go oh la la, you know what I mean.
Robin Hood, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Shrek.
No one can ever take the place of Kevin Costner as my Robin Hood.
And unless Freddy Krueger is hunting for Johnny Depp, I'm not gonna watch it.
And Shrek, I thought the movie is supposed to be far far away already.
What happened to the good old rule for cartoons?
One is good enough already.

So, there you have it.
And there'll be more.
=)
