Moves in Curves

Looks like some good stuff will be coming out this year. Obviously, Deathly Hallows part 1 will be released, so that’s fabulous. I just saw the trailer for Russell Crowe’s “Robin Hood“, I’m all over that one. He’s a wee bit old for the part, but he’s Russell Crowe, who cares? And Cate Blanchett is Marian. Also Kevin Durand and Scott Grimes, minor actors who I always enjoy watching. Garb looks bad, but I’ll endure. (May 14)

“Clash of the Titans“: I’ve always loved Greek mythology. Don’t even care who’s in this one, I’ll be seeing it. (March 26)

“Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief“: Kevin McKidd and Sean Bean as Greek gods. Enough said. (February 12)

“Legion“: Okay, I’m not into apocalypse movies. I get wigged out by them. But Paul Bettany is playing the archangel Michael and Kevin Durand (is it me or is he having a break these days? He’s been in a lot lately. Love it.) as Gabriel, and I just might have to see that. Besides, this isn’t a natural-disaster apocalypse, it’s a real one. Maybe I can bear it. (January 22)

One I’ll be taking my kids to: “How to train your dragon” (March 26). Looks cute, and they’ll probably like it.

“Iron Man 2“: Obvious, yes, but I enjoyed the first one, and I never miss superhero movies. And hell, Robert Downey Jr’s looking hot these days. Amazing what laying off the sauce will do for you. (May 7)

“Prince of Persia“: Meh, I kind of want to see this. J.Gyl sure does a lot of backflips in the trailer, doesn’t he? I have to admit, this is the first time I’ve found him attractive (it’s amazing what seeing an actor with a sword will do for me). Costuming looks bad though. Will probably just rent this one or go to the dollar movies. (May 28)

“Jonah Hex”: I’m slightly tempted by this one, as it’s based on comic books and that generally makes for a good story, but the cast – blergh. When it hits Red Box, maybe. (June 18)

Hopefully more interesting fare will start being previewed soon. After all, it’s only January.
