Thoughts: This is one of the most hyped up and highly anticipated movies in years. Finally seeing the trailer for it I’m impressed but not blown away. No doubt the film will be a huge hit, and perhaps usher in a new era of 3D films.

Thoughts: Disney hasn’t had a 2D animated film in so long! It’s refreshing to see Disney go back to it’s roots, hopefully the movie can live up to previous classics. The animation, though 2D, really looks great.

Initially heartbroken, Bella finds a form of comfort in reckless living, as well as an even-closer friendship with Jacob Black. Danger in different forms awaits.

Rating: TBA

Trailer:

Release Date: November 20th, 2009

Thoughts: I didn’t think the first Twilight was a good movie. I do think the concept and story are intriguing but I think it’s poorly executed as a film. New Moon does look like a minor step up, but still not something that I’m excited to see in any way.

What it’s about: An epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors

Rating: TBA

Trailer:

Release Date: November 13th, 2009

Thoughts: Roland Emmerich love to make disaster films, and he makes them often. The problem is the films are more about special effects than anything else, so this movie is probably going to be the same substance free stuff. This movie will be a success because of all the theories swirling around that ominous date of December 21st , 2012. But just because it’s a hot subject doesn’t mean it will be a good movie.
