1. Hitman. Strange casting, Timothy Olyphant? But he could pull it off. But it looks so damn slick on the trailers I'm almost salivating at all that splatter. Please please please don't let this be just another disappointing attempt to make a movie out of a video game. Make it as cool as the trailer and don't make the trailer have the only cool scenes. That pisses me off. But the music is cool.
2. Sunshine. Still showing as in theatres, I guess, but there is a release date for the DVD out there so I am pre-ordered and trying to prepare for the non-couch bouncing. Aside from the fact that I adore Cillian Murphy, Michelle Yeoh is a babe, it's a sci-fi doomsday mystery and it can't get any better a premise than that, can it now? Okay, let's jump start the sun by delivering a nuclear payload right to it's core...but we'll all be okay, right? I've watched every trailer special I could get my hands on with this in one of my manic phases; it shows so much promise and potential - I am so looking forward to this that if it doesn't deliver, something is getting broken. Literally.
3. Cloverfield. This is the new one from J.J. Abrams of "Lost"fame. Like the rest of J.J.'s work, there is something unseen and unknown destroying NY and a couple of friends are 'recording'  the whole scary unseen and unknown thing 'cause "somebody's gonna want to know what happened, man." What J.J. does best is keeps you in a prolonged state of suspense until you think your head is going to explode. This looks like another feather in his cap. One question - when does this guy sleep?
4. P.S. I Love You. Hillary Swank and Gerard (THIS IS SPARTA!) Butler. Butler dies and leaves Swank a letter a day for a year to help her cope and get on with life. I Like Gerard Butler, I've liked him since Dracula 2000; I think he's been underrated as an actor and I am glad to see him getting roles that are more worthy of his talents. It may be a chick flick but it's Gerard Butler. He could read the phone book and I'd listen for hours. Or he could spend the night and I'd watch him do sit ups and that six-pak ripple all night...Just remember - he held the Hot Gates. And it just looks like a nice movie. I am a girl too, you know, and good drama is good drama. Guilty Pleasures and all.
5. The Mist. Stephen King is still at the top of his game and this is yet another notch in the belt of a man whose pants are gonna fall down soon. A storm hits a town and everyone heads to the supermarket for supplies. Except once they get there, the mist rolls in, and brings with it...things. Turns out the Army has been experimenting with dimensions. Just what kinds of doors did they open? Thomas Jane and Marcia Gay Harden square off in this one and who will win is Stephen's whim, and we all know you never can tell with the King of King.
6. I Am Legend. When I first heard Will Smith was cast as the "Man", I was pretty upset. I was a huge fan of the book and just coudn't see Will in the role, and I love Will. Well, if the trailers are right, I'm ready to take my lumps like a big girl and eat crow 'cause it turns out Will Smith IS The Man. When I learned this book was written by the same man who penned "What Dreams May Come" I was floored; I didn't understand. Now, I see. For the life you want, for life itself, life and love are a battle and you have to fight your hardest every day, like it's your last - and never forget that. And they are worth fighting for. So g'on Will. We gotcha back on this one.
7. Valkyrie. Tom Cruise isn't doing himself many favors these days. In my personal opinion, he's done more to alienate himself with his public than endear himself. And if he wants to take on someone about mental health issues he can leave Matt Lauer alone and talk to someone who knows the REAL story; ME. Really turned me off with that. That having been said, the ensemble cast for this historicasl drama about the attepted assassination of Hitler is among the best I have seen: Terrence Stamp, Kenneth Branaugh, Eddie Izzard (YAY!), Bill Nighy, Cruise, and more. Directed by Brian Singer of X-Men fame, there may be a sniff of blockbuster to this. And I do love a good bloody historical drama full of deceit and intrigue.
8. The Golden Compass. Okay I read these books so I feel obligated to see the movies but look what they did to my beloved Narnia and if this turns out better I am really gonna do someone damage, frakking Weta. Will I ever see Prince Caspian and the rest, likely not but I bet I see the rest of this trillogy. And the books were a bit odd so I am not sure how they will translate to the screen but if they do, someone better contact me about adapting the Whangdoodle. Enough said. Besides. Daniel Craig. Screw it.
9. Jumper. Okay, from what I can gather, this is a pretty cool premise. You can jump through the space line but not the time line. So from here to there, but not from here to then. Cool! Go anywhere, do anything. Until Samuel. L. Jackson shows up and starts wankin' on you about "consequences"...Looks slick, and if it stays as slick as the trailer promises, I'm definitely in my seat for this whole show. Sci-fi/fantasy fun abounds.
10. Black Irish. I am Black Irish, and if you aren't, you probably won't get it. I am crying just from the trailer. Boy makes good despite family in the dumps. Enough said.
11. Music Within. Wow. Looks very interesting. Guy goes to Vietnam and loses his hearing. Comes back to the States, befriends a guy with Cereberal Palsey and gets hired by the US Government to educate companies about hiring people with handicaps. Sounds like crap, right? No really, I'm telling you, watch the trailer! The guy with CP is Michael Sheen who played Tony Blair in "The Queen" and this is likely another stellar performance by him and I for one am a sucker for a feel good story about overcoming the odds because who doesn't feel like the underdog every now and then? I know I sure as hell do. Every frikkin day. Based on the trailer alone, I am plunking down $10 for this. Even if it is $10 for the DVD.
12. Slipstream. Oooh - kinda creepy. Anthony Hopkins gets hired to rewrite a screenplay and can't tell what's real and what's the screenplay anymore. Freaky in that this could be so cool but I might be watching "Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas" kinda weird. Which is good! HST is good. Off the wall coo-coo, but good. Cast looks fantastic. I'm definitely in.
13. The Rocket. Okay, most times I won't admit it, but I am from upstate NY, Hockey country. When we had the Olympics in Lake Placid, that was just miles from my home - and we won. Hocky was big, you could hear the whole town cheer. And you could hear the Canadians across the river cheer too. Here's a movie about one of the bloodiest sports out there. Boxing, yeah, all well and good, but do it on a quarter inch blade, yeah? This is a movie about guts, glory, the Rocky of the rink. And we all love the blood on the ice. Or is it just me? Anyway, I'm in. Plus I have a thing for the Canadian Quebequois accent...first love was a Canadian who spoke the fastest French in the world...ah...memories...I'm down for this one. As long as they don't do the nose thing. If you know hockey, you know what I am saying. And that's ALL I am saying. Looks good. Rocky of the Rink.
14. Shine a Light. Scorcese "directs" the Rolling Stones. Actually, Mr. No Bouncing will make me get this one for the new media room, but just looking at the trailer, I think I actually wanna see it. And I am not the world's biggest Stones fan. But the color saturation, the close-ups, the guest appearances, the...Scorcese. The Mick, the boys...it's just gonna be memorable. I'm down.
15. P2. Horror/Suspense fans will like this one. What do you do when it's Christmas eve and your car is on Parking level 2 and it won't start? Then, to compaound matters, the parking attendant wants to have this "date" with you because he's been watching you for a long time, now. Chases, near eascapes, duels, a dog (?), and lots of blood with suspense killing me in just the trailer. This looks fun.  Not "killer", just fun. A Wednesday night fright.
16. Horrorfest 2007. I would have a coronary if I had to watch all of these movies in a row. The trailer had me shivering and I think my goosebumps have goosebumps. Holy-fraking-cow. Is it legal to scare someone to death? It's like the roller coaster when you're sure you are going to die before you ever get to the bottom of the first drop 'cause your heart's just gonna give out. Space it out and I can do it. Over and over and over and you'd have to be a stronger person than me....or just have a lot of patience as I press 'pause' a lot.
17. Control. YAY! It's Joy Division!!!! Oh, you're probably too young, go listen to some Britney. This was when it was REAL and music changed the world...although we're all prone to saying that aren't we. Joy Division did, though, and this is about the real struggles of Ian and the band. God, I love Joy Division...and it's newer incarnation - 10 points for whomever can answer me that one first.
18. One Missed Call. J-Horror at it's absolute best. You get a phone call of a person about to die, even if that person is right there with you. Creepy. And they all die these absolutely awful deaths. So finally, one intrepid girl goes to search out why all these deaths are connected and - as you can imagine - horror ensues. Looks fantastic. Ed Burns, too, and he ain't hard on the eyes. A triple Diet Coke for this one.
19. Southland Tales. I have no frikkin idea what this is about and I don't even care, I wanna see it on sheer star power and trailer appeal alone. Can I just chew on Dwayne "The Rock" for a while? C'mon, just a bicep? Sarah Michelle Gellar - yummy with a spoon! Mandy Moore (I just feel dirty thinking anything about her so, nice girl), Seann William Scott who is always on the verge of either making me bust out laughing or just crying with laughter. And Justin Timberlake. With a scar. Okay. Not sure about that one. But there are others like Cheri Oteri and a few other cameos that should shake the house, and since this is the second teaming up of The Rock and Seann William Scott (I don't care, I loved the first one, it had me giggling), I am ready to ROCK and roll on this one. Buckle up kids, we're going for a ride.
20. No Country For Old Men. Which I actually think is out now. Okay just a few words. Cohen Brothers. Weird. Javier Bardem. Weird. Call it. Weird. Josh Brolin. Weird. Missing Money. Weird. I wanna see it. Weird.
21. The Bucket List. We end with The Bucket List. It is, appropriately enough, a list of things you want to do before you "kick the bucket". Nicholson and Freeman find out they are each terminal and somehow together make their Bucket list and go do all the things that they denied themselves in life. It's probably a three tissue or more movie, and I really don't care cause good drama is good drama and it's frikkin Nicholson and Freeman - they're LEGENDS, man! I'd pay to watch them eat soup. Well. Minestrone, maybe. But I'm watching this one. Cause we all should have a Bucket list of our own...and start it sooner rather than later.

There. I've exhausted Apple Trailers for a while, and myself, and I'm off to watch a real movie or two and I'll see you all in the real near future.

Boo!

Did I get ya?
