We're getting close to the "Oscar season" (stupid considering some really good movies come out in the middle of the year too), so some potential contenders are coming out soon. Lets look at some as well as what might catch your eye:
Body of Lies- Leo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe team up in a spy thriller that seems to have quite an edge.....which makes for a good spy movie. Plus I'm a huge Crowe fan, and I've been waiting for his next big movie for a while. Expect Oscar nods too.
Max Payne- The video game this is based on had an incredible story, and the visuals from the previews seem to indicate a strong action film. Not really a Mark Wahlberg fan, and the fact that it was just rated PG-13 have hurt my interest a little, but I'm not ruling it out.
Changeling- Though only getting a limited release, this is supposed to be one of the first strong Ocsar-movies. I'm a fan of Angelina Jolie, and she seems poised for another Oscar in this drama that has an interesting premise and a well-rounded cast (Amy Ryan, John Malkovich, and Jeffrey Donovan).
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa- The first movie was pretty good, and the preview I saw seems like this will improve. Ben Stiller leads a great cast voicing the wild animals trying to get home while encountering the many zany situations they're sure to get in to.
Quantum of Solace- I haven't even seen "Casino Royale", but from what I've heard, the new version of Bond is one of the best. I'm hoping to see "Casino" before the next highly-anticipated film hits theaters.
The more serious movies are starting to show, and I'm sure I'll make some pre-nomination predictions(although I'm sure the real nominations will be INSANELY different), as well as some picks for when the Oscars come around. Seeing as how far away all that is, I'll have to try to fill that gap with hopefully some reviews. Once some of the major house-jobs calm down, then I'll hopefully have some more free time for movie time..........key word "hopefully."
