Mine are:
The Watchmen
Fast and the Furious 4
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Star Trek (the new one)
Terminator: Salvation
G.I. Joe: The rise of COBRA
Sherlock Holmes

(my apologies if someone else has started a thread like this. If so, please direct me to that one... thanks!)

The Watchmen
Wolverine
Terminator 4


And movies that I want to see, but Im not sure they will be good or not...

Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li
Underworld 3
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince(if its not better than the last two, im going to burn one of my harry potter books, lol)

And...Thats all I can think of atm...

The Watchmen is pretty much it. There are movies I'm going to see, but that's the only one I'm amped about.

I will see the following if possible:

Frost/Nixon (I know its out already).

Defiance (likewise)

Star Trek 11

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Terminator 4

Their are probably some others as well.

T4 this year? *adds to the list*

The List:
Transformers 2
T4

T4 this year? *adds to the list*

The List:
Transformers 2
T4

What about Star Trek?

I must say I was expecting the new Star Trek film to suck, but I've been hearing some surprising things lately, that indicate this film may actually:

a) be following continuity somewhat, and

b)rebooting the series without overriding old continuity (alternate universes are nice that way).

Together, these things make me hopeful. And if they up-gun the Federation in this film, it might make Star Trek vs Star Wars interesting again.:D

Wolverine should be okay, T4 ought to be good, and I'm hoping to see Taken this weekend. I also reall want to see Milk (about gay rights activist/former mayor Harvey Milk)

The Watchmen is pretty much it. There are movies I'm going to see, but that's the only one I'm amped about.

^^ This.

Yes, I'll see Harry Potter, Star Trek, X-men, GI Joe, etc. but Watchmen is.... important. It's success or failure, it's awesomeness or horridness is going to shape the genre for a long time to come.

star trek.

Harry Potter 6
Star Trek
G.I Joe

I reckon The Watchmen will blow

I'd add Iron Man 2, but that will be 2010.

The Citizen Kane remake.

I look forward to Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen.

Since I don't watch TV and have been out of the country for a while I didn't know any of these were coming out. I'm interested by all of them except Fast and the Furious, the first two of which made me want to die so much that I refused to watch the third one.

The Citizen Kane remake.

Please god, no.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is at the top of the list.
G.I.Joe, Coraline, The Watchmen, Harry Potter, Year One, Terminator, Up, and...my mind's likely slipping on a few more.

This.

And that:

Defiance

Well worth it. It's such a good film.

I just typed in 2009 Movies on Google and looked under the IMDB page for them.

Star Trek, the Wolverine movie. I'm sure there will be others I want to see.

nine! kind of a timburtonesque future noir 3d animation. maybe the trailers are all that exist, i don't know, but what i've seen on youtube, i mean i actually let the hours go by it took to download a full ten minuets of it, and yah, if i get a chance to see that, i WOULD like to.

there's also another forray BY tim burton, i forget what its called, and then there's that bolt thing. those look interesting to me.

those are about all i know of that do.

Coraline

When the guy who wrote the story in the first place has stayed involved with it all the way through, you know it's got a reasonable chance of being good.

The Morris dancing film
Morris: a life with bells on

The remake of Blade Runner with Keanu Reeves and Jessica Simpson

I just typed in 2009 Movies on Google and looked under the IMDB page for them.

I haven't paid attention for several years, why start now? I'll watch a movie if I'm interested and happen to catch wind of it, but I don't care enough to go find out what new things are coming out.

I know I'm going to sound like an obnoxious fan, but there's no "the" in the title Watchmen.

I'm stubbornly refusing to see Watchmen; everything I've heard about it has convinced me it'll be nothing short of a trainwreck.

A horrible, horrible trainwreck.

Like everyone else, Watchmen. While I like the book/graphic novel/comic (whatever you want to call it), I'm not a massive fan so I won't be too disappointed if it's shite.

Also: Inglourious Basterds could be good, The Wolfman (don't know the original) and Thirst.

Star Trek XI - so far only 2009 film im really excited about

Definitely Watchmen, as well as the sixth Harry Potter. I'm not too excited for the Star Trek movie, it doesn't look all that great, to be honest. I never saw the first Transformers and likely won't see the second due to a massive hatred of Shia LaBeouf.

Watchmen and Sherlock Holmes. And probably Up.

Whatever new flicks that have Bree Olsen, Dora Venter and Missy Monroe in 'em.

The Watchmen
Wolverine
Terminator 4

Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li
Underworld 3
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince(if its not better than the last two, im going to burn one of my harry potter books, lol)

And...Thats all I can think of atm...

Why the books? The books are good. I don't particularly care for modern movies they are all mostly the same.

Coraline (one of the only books I read as a preteen that I liked at the time and think there's a responsible chance I will still like now)
Watchmen
Harry Potter (they always disappoint me and yet I still get excited over them)

are the only ones I'll probably watch in theatres this year. Way up from last years dismal low of one movie in theatres. (The Dark Knight)

None, really. I think some might be OK, but nothing mind blowing. I doubt Watchmen will out do Dark Knight.

Please god, no.

God has no power in Hollywood.

Taken was pretty good, all the movies mentioned so far sound like they will be dismal, I certainly won't go to see anything in theaters, complete rip off imo.

None so far have really grabbed my attention but I'd like to see Coraline, Monsters vs Aliens, and (unfortunately) the new Star Trek. I haven't seen much else that I'd even bother going to the theater for and there's certainly nothing that has me fired up.

God has no power in Hollywood.Not entirely true. Feel free to pull open the drawers in the motels scattered throughout that town and marvel upon the sight.

i'm completely interested in 2009, in most of the real things i believe there's a real hope of seeing happen this year, with or without any movies, none of which i expect to be able to afford to go see in a movie house anyway.

I forgot about The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus

Watchmen
Wolverine
Transformers 2
Terminator 4

I've never watched anything Star Trek, but the new movie looks good

And Dragonball Evolution, a movie I anticipate will be horrible but must watch.

Better go while you can then. If this one flops, it might be a while before their's any new Trek (thanks for blowing, Enterprise:mad:).

Enterprise wasn't that bad. Just too much deus ex machina and attempts to explain events that occurred in later series.

And Dragonball Evolution, a movie I anticipate will be horrible but must watch.
Oh god, forgot all about that one. It's going to be awful, but I watched so much Dragonball Z in my younger years that I basically owe it to Toriyama et al.

You don't make a prequel, ignore continuity, and think you can compensate with a sexy Vulcan.:rolleyes:

Transformers 2 interest me the most, yo.

Just saw TAKEN, not bad, predictable ending and saw the Trailer for CRANK 2.

So and Crank 2 to my list.

None of the movies mentioned in this thread so far, because I'm not a pimpled adolescent (any more).

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (The trailer looks fantastic)
Terminator 4
TF2
Watchmen

Possibly the new Star Trek movie. It might suck or surprise.

The Watchman, Fast and Furious, Angels and Demons, Terminator 4, Harry Potter 6, Transformers 2, Taken, and possibly the new Star Trek flick.

Saw Push yesterday, and while some of the acting and editing was medicore, the story itself was surprisingly decent.
