Anticipated 2009 Movies

My Most Anticipated Movies of December 2009: Avatar, Alvin and the Chipmunks 2, The Princess and the Frog, Sherlock Holmes

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

This month features the release of the long awaited James Cameron film, Avatar. I hope that it’s worth the wait, in the end. I’ve been telling my friends the only things I know about it for a long time: that James Cameron is inventing a new filming technique for it, and it’ll be like nothing we’ve ever seen before. Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 is more or less a possibility, whereas The Princess and the Frog is a new Disney Must-See! I’ve selected Sherlock Holmes based on the creative team alone.

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

This month has a movie that I selected on the creative team alone. A Christmas Carol. It’s going to be a long month, if it doesn’t pan out.

My Most Anticipated Movies of October 2009: Toy Story (3D), Where the Wild Things Are

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

This month, Pixar is finally re-releasing Toy Story in 3D. It’s the first wave in the re-introduction of the characters in a new format, as well as the promotional push for Toy Story 3, which comes out in 2010. Where the Wild Things Are also releases this month. Not looking forward to this one as much, but we’ll see!

My Most Anticipated Movie of September 2009: 9

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

9My most anticipated movie of 2009 has changed, as The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus has been moved from September, toward December of this year. Right now, the only film coming this month that I have seen a trailer for is the movie called 9. It’s the Tim Burton produced film about these really strange looking characters and an amazing voice cast, including: Elijah Wood, Jennifer Connelly, Martin Landau, Christopher Plummer and John C. Reilly.

I don’t really know much about it beyond that. Check out the trailer here as well, if you like.

It comes out on 09-09-09.

My Most Anticipated Movies of August 2009: G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, When in Rome, Bandslam, Ponyo

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

This month is very light on the releases. It looks like it’ll be at the very least G.I. Joe. If Transformers 2 is still running, perhaps I’ll go see that again. It should also mark the start of filming on Voyage of the Dawn Treader. When in Rome also releases at the same time. I’m not very keen on this one, but I did stumble through the set while I was in New York in May 2008. The following week, Bandslam (Band Slam?) releases. This marks the end of the summer movie season. It wasn’t a very big summer as far as movies go, but Transformers is the tops.

My Most Anticipated Movies of July 2009: Ice Age 3, Harry Potter 6, G-Force

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

This month, I’ll be seeing Transformers 2 a few more times. But in between visits with Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and the gang, I’ll be seeing Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Harry Potter 6 (Half-Blood Prince), and G-Force. Based on the other movies this month, Transformers will be getting a lot of business… at least from me.

My Most Anticipated Movies of June 2009: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Land of the Lost

Monday, June 1st, 2009

This month features my choice for my potential favorite film of the year. With Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen hitting on the 24th, it’s the date that I am looking forward to the most. Land of the Lost also launches this month, but it’s only a side trip on the way toward the biggest movie release of the year.

My Most Anticipated Movies of May 2009: X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Terminator Salvation, Night at the Museum 2, Up

Friday, May 1st, 2009

This is the start of the summer movie season, and it begins today with the origin of Wolverine. This month also features a couple of sequels that many would probably consider to be unnecessary: Terminator Salvation and Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. The month ends with the next potential masterpiece by Pixar: Up.

My Most Anticipated Movie of April 2009: Disneynature’s Earth

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

This month is light on the releases that I actually want to see. In fact, at this time there is only one film releasing during the pre-summer movie month that I am even interested in.

“Of all the planets in our universe, there is only one we know can support life.”

My Most Anticipated Movies of 2009

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

I figured that, since we’re getting closer to the summer movie schedule, now would be as good a time as any to post my list of movies that I anticipate seeing over the course of 2009. It’s definitely a truncated list, based on what I knew was coming out at the end of 2008. All release dates are subject to change, and additions to the list are a definite possibility.

The list of films is grouped by month. It starts out with April and goes to December. At the beginning of each month, I’ll be posting a new entry more information about each of the movies for that month, including (if available) a trailer for the film. I’ll also be expanding on my reasons for wanting to see the film, and whatever else strikes me at the time.
