i’ve started my movie year right, so far.

• Avatar (IMAX; James Cameron)

- rockin way to kick off 2010 movies. this movie absolutely falls under my hall of famers. the editing was great, the CGIs seamless, the storyline, well a bit predictable but i didn’t mind, and not boring.

• Sherlock Holmes (Guy Ritchie)

- Jude Law = adorable (but that’s just me), the perfect englishman who kicks arse (say it with an accent now). RDJ = brilliant. their partnership = perfect. it’s one of those movies that did great because of its cast (and no horrible accents).

• Clash of the Titans (Louis Leterrier) opening March 26

- the trailer made it look really interesting. CGIs keep getting better don’t they?

• Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (Chris Columbus) opening February 12

- i don’t know about you, but movie titles with colons (“:”) on them have a way of being spectacular series. well, so far.

• Eclipse (David Slade)  June 2010

- oh yes, the 3rd Twilight installment. most intriguing how they will pull off a rather predictable and uncomfortably cheesy love story. it’s just my opinion but i think the latter Twilight books have been trying too hard to be adult-like.

• The Lovely Bones (Peter Jackson) January 2010

- i haven’t read the book yet, so i’ll let the movie convince me, what with Peter Jackson (of The Lord of the Rings fame) directing it.

• Legion (Scott Stewart) Jan 22

- aren’t we all tired of vampires yet?

• Tooth Fairy (Micheal Lembeck)  Jan 22

- i will definitely need a break from all that.

• Valentine’s Day (Gary Marshall) Feb 12
  

- it’s like Love Actually all over again!

• The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (Terry Gilliam) January 2009

- it’s the last (albeit unfinished) film of Heath Ledger. it’s with a circus setting. it’s magically realist. it has all of colin farrell, johnny depp, and heath ledger. all of my requirements met

how about you, which movies made it in your 2010 movie checklist?
