Movies of 2012

No surprise, but a lot of sequels coming out next year. These are the highest two on my list.

Expendables 2

I had no expectation with the first one, but greatly enjoyed it. Hoping for more of the same.
Rumor is Van Damme is the main heavy. Not sure who Hemsworth is though...

GI Joe 2

The first one was one of the worst films I've _ever_ seen. This one looks more like it. The Cobra flags unfurling over the capitol looks to be something straight out of the Hama comic. Awesome. The tie-in with the original GI Joe character from the 60s is a nice touch. Could be a fun one.

Still, these will likely be home viewings for me. The Hobbit is my only must see in theater.

I will see both of these films. I enjoyed the ridiculousness of Expendables, and I thought GI Joe was way better than it had any right to be.

Hobbit and TDKR are the only two films I will likely see in the theater next year.

I still want to see The Muppets. And Drive. And Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Those will likely be 2012 viewing for me.

This. It's balls-hard to get out to actually see a movie with little kids at home, especially if my wife wants to see it too (as she will those).

But GI Joe looks stupid in all the right ways.

I hope you've seen the British mini series with Alec Guiness. (It was available on netflix streaming but don't know if it still is) That was fantastic. The movie will have to be stupendous to top it.

TTSS was pretty great. It's the paper-pushing and in-house intrigue that you know is going on back at MI6 when James Bond is out on his adventures. Gary Oldman and Benedict Cumberbatch (from the BBC's Sherlock series with Martin Freeman) are very good.

I see about two movies a year at the theater. Next year I will see one twice, as my wife insists I see BRAVE before I take my then-8-year-old to it. Audible sigh.

Killing your television is a good idea if you have kids, but it can be a hassle too.

Damn. Thanks for reminding me about TTSS. I'd been planning on watching that when I heard of it a while back, but got too busy to remember it was coming out. Great book, should be a great movie.

Yeah they're forced to play boardgames. Boo-fucking-hoo!

Always loved Jinx, even with the Dairy Queen Ice cream hat, Looking forward to this sequel.

Looks like Fortress America isn't the only thing releasing next year with a re-write:

Red Dawn remake review when China was the invader.

I'm even more interested in seeing it after finding out it's by the Let the Right One In guy. It's playing in a whopping 4 theatres like The Road was though. I'd have to drive 158 miles and see it in Vancouver BC. I think it's going to open in a few more theatres soon.

Hey buddy, be glad. I'm tempted to drive across the continent to see it in Vancouver just to get out of Ontario

China Korea as the antagonist has managed to make a shittier re-make of an original shit pile! Kudos Hollywood
I swear, if Spike Lee/Mark Protosevich fuck up OldBoy I'm sailing for the Pirate Bay.

Hopefully Prometheus wont be terrible.
