Movies 2010

[wicked]

A new year is here, and I've been hunting down trailers to see if there is anything out there that will get me into a theater.
It's not looking too bad.

March -
Season of the Witch- It's PG-13, but I think I'll leave the kids at home and make this one a date movie. Looks pretty dark.

Clash of the Titans - Looking forward to it.

April -
Warlords-

May-
Iron Man 2
Not going to post the link, because I'm sure the trailer is spammed all over TV as it is.

Robin Hood-

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - The kids and I will check this one out.

June-
The A-Team - Hello nostalgia. Of course I will be going to this one.

Jonah Hex -
Nothing out there but fake trailers so far, but I'll keep my eye out.

July-
The Last Airbender - Maybe on this one. The kids and I love the cartoon. We'll wait and see what future trailers look like.

Predators- A reboot of the Predator franchise. Normally I dislike horror, but because the Predators are hunters, and not just mindless, "Let's eat all the humans!" kind of aliens, I am kind of into them.

No trailer yet.

Since I have better odds of being eaten by a shark than of Hollywood making many decent medieval movies, I've been turning to foreign films.

Musa:The Warrior - A Korean film. Except for having a bit of trouble keeping up with the subtitles, I really liked this movie. I just had to remind myself early on that many Asian movies aren't really into happy endings.

Seven Swords - A Hong Kong film. If you can overlook some of the plot devices and moments of characters doing conveniently stupid things to put them where they need to be to progress the plot, I liked this one two. It had kind of a superhero feel to it, mixed in with the heroic fantasy.

Mongol - International co-production between Germany, Russia, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan. Another one I really liked.

And don't forget THE CRAZIES remake! I am looking forward to it almost as much as Jonah Hex.

What happened to the Soloman Kane movie?

Straight to DVD?

Actually, I think Aussies will get it.

It seems the only country that doesn't have a interested distributor is the United States...

Nothing in our local up-coming cinema movie guide list that I could see.
I reckon it will be a DVD release only here.

The movie trailer for Solomon Kane looks pretty hot.

I actually own all three of the foreign movies you mentioned. I expected Seven Swords to be good (and it was), but Musa: The Warrior took me by surprise. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did.

If you can find it, the original TV series of Seven Swords (titled Seven Swordsmen) is lower budget, but also worth watching. No, it's not realistic, but if you like Wuxia stories it's enjoyable.

I love me some Wuxia, so I'll keep an eye out for it.

Update:

As far as I know, there is still no word on when Solomon Kane will be available in the US. Bummer.

The trailer for Jonah Hex - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2AS9DjwR-o
I'm undecided if I will go see it. Doubt I will take the kids. Maybe make it a date night movie.

Robin Hood - On further seeing clips and previews, I won't be going to the theater for this one. I expect "Robin Hood" to have a certain feel to it, and this isn't it.

Iron Man 2 - Saw it. It wasn't as good as the first one, but still enjoyable. Though I thought the whole movie was pretty much carried by Mr. Downy, and the actor who played Ivan.

Clash of Titans - I'm biased in favor of it because of the giant scorpions, but it was one of those movies where they could have done so much more. Nothing unexpected happened. In fact it was so predictable I felt like I was watching it for the second time. Left the theater feeling a bit disappointed, despite enjoying the spectacle while watching it.

How to Train Your Dragon- Took the kids to see it. Loved it. Would happily pay money to see it again. Really liked the ending.

Next movie on our list is Prince of Persia. Crossing my fingers.

Prince of Persia looks okay. I don't quite see Jake Gyllenhaal as the action star, but I recently saw him in an interview which made me like him more. I also noticed that missing from your list is Inception. It should be a really good flick, especially with Christopher Nolan at the helm and Lenardo DiCaprio leading. If you wanna get a better look at it, take a look here. I'm very excited for this, and it looks like this could be my favourite flick of the year. Check it out.
