Originally Posted By davewasbaloo UP is not a surprise, given that Pixar are often woefully bad at producing good trailers, but still do phenominally well when their movies are released.

I bought the last 2 on DVD and still cannot be bothered to watch them.
Originally Posted By ecdc I enjoy the HP movies more as an exercise in watching how it was adapted than to actually enjoy it as a film. I just love the books too much. There's some really great looking stuff. Public Enemies, the Road (run, do not walk, to your local bookstore or Amazon and buy the book if you haven't already), and Sherlock Holmes.
Originally Posted By jasmine7 It was hard for me to pick because I'm looking forward to just about all of these films. I ended up going with HP because it's about the only film I'm trying not to spoil myself on images and reports (even though I've read the book). (Four days to Watchmen!)

Originally Posted By jasmine7 <<It took me three readings of the graphic novel to fully appreciate just how good it is. << I totally agree. I'm rereading it right now, and little things about the characters that I didn't notice before are just popping out to me. I'm also reading the "Under the Hood" sections for the first time. Before, I just kind of skimmed over them, but I'm seeing just how well they work into the overall plot now.

Originally Posted By Kira Fast & Furious (really excited for this one, even if the films are cheesy.

Up (a given =) ) & The Lovely Bones I'm sure I'll find out about other releases as I see the trailers, but these are the ones I'm really excited about. Also, is anyone else excited for Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland release next year?!
