8 Films I Can't Wait to See

• The Box - You're given a box with a button on it, and told that if you press the button, two things will happen. First, someone will die and second, you will receive 1 million dollars. I'm sure a few presses wouldn't hurt!  Despite being based on a short story and Twilight Zone episode (not to mention a few early attempts at making it into a movie), I'm sure it will be one of the most original films of the year. directed by Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko). Watch the Trailer
• The Men Who Stare at Goats - Based on a true story?!  Try out the psychic tests on the official website.  I'm not sure how, but I actually did knock over the goat... Also see Clooney in Up In the Air. Saw it at TIFF and it was fantastic.
• Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans - If you don't know who Werner Herzog is, you are missing out. The man is a GENIUS. You should see as many of his movies as possible (Nosferatu, Grizzley Man), but what really drew me to his work is when he made a documentary called Little Dieter Needs to Fly about a pilot that ends up in a POW camp, then made a Hollywood film (staring BATMAN!) about that very subject called Rescue Dawn. People always wonder how much is true in movies that claim to be 'Based on Real Events', and here you know for sure
• Red Cliff - Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon + Saving Private Ryan = Pure Awsomeness!
• The Road - If they can even come close to the standard of the Novel, it will be amazing
• Avatar - James Camerons (Terminator 2) took 10 years to make this film and it's finally here.  IMAX 3-D was made for this film specifically
• Daybreakers - It's like The Matrix meets Blade... Does it get any cooler?!
• Inception - From the Director of Memento and The Dark Night comes... A really fucked up film (that I can't wait to see!)

What are you looking forward to?
