The Rest...The ImmortalsIt is about time we got to grips with some Greek myth classics, especially after the dismal Clash of the Titans!
Tarsem Singh directs with pretty much newcomer Henry
Cavill playing Theseus, a warrior who is on a mission to save a princess as well as overthrow evil king Hyperion, played by Mickey
Rourke. Also stars Freida Pinto.
Mission impossible: Ghost protocolTom Cruise returns as agent Ethan Hunt in another jet- setting adventure. Locations such as Dubai (which features a stunt on the tallest building on the planet) and Prague are set to
accommodate much of the action. Cannot wait!
Tin Tin: The Secret of the UnicornSpielberg's first outing for the year features Jamie Bell voicing the lead
character and an
eclectic cast featuring Daniel Craig. the movie features state of the art capture animation. Looks good!
The War HorseThe second offering from Spielberg is the epic story of a war horse, which is seen
mainly through the horses' eyes. It is set against the backdrop of WWI and charts the relationship between a young boy and his horse.
The Girl with the Dragon TattooHot off his victory from the Golden Globes for The Social Network David
Fincher's next project is underway and is the Hollywood remake of the recent movies starring
Noomi Rapace. Newcomer Rooney Mara stars opposite Daniel
Craig.... He's bloody busy this year!
Paranormal Activity 3We cannot g
et through Halloween without what seems to be a permanent fixture every year- a Paranormal Activity movie! They are pretty good though. No plot details as it stands but
expect, swinging doors, loud bangs and of course people being dragged by the invisible forces of evil...
The RiteAnthony Hopkins plays a Vatican priest who is part of the "Exorcism arm" of the church. It is based on true events so is probably going to be quite creepy.
West is WestThe follow-up to the much loved East is East will see Om
Puri return as the head of the dis-functional family. Expect loads of racial gags,
stereotypes and probably some decent acting.
Countdown to ZeroA documentary taking a look at the nuclear proliferation that exists. Probably going to be as scary as some of the horrors this year!
Real SteelA big Action movie full of
CGI starring Hugh
Jackman as a retired boxer come promoter for the new replacement of boxing- big bad robots smashing the nuts and bolts out of each other! Sure to be a sit back, relax, switch your brain off and enjoy experience.
Transformers 3: Dark of the MoonYeah.... err, Transformers 3.
Battlefield: Los AngelesBig scale Alien invasion movie which p
itt's Aaron
Eckhart against an attack by superior forces on LA. A group of U.S. Soldiers fight to survive which includes Michelle Rodriguez in her usual hard-nut chick sort of role.
Super 8Little is known about
JJ Abrams next big project but is sure to be a big budget production. Being produced by Spielberg, the Lost creator is doing his usual trick of teasing movie-goers right up until release (remember
Cloverfield?). Guessing by the trailer there is probably going to be some involvement of alien life form- though that is just a guess.... Watch this space.
Red RidingAmanda S
eyfried takes on the titular role which is a twist on the classic tale. The story depicts a village which is terrorised by a werewolf- which could be any of the village members. Gary
Oldman, Julie Christie and quite a few other well known names also star. Twilight director Catherine
Hardwicke helms.
Conan the BarbarianJason
Momoa stars as Conan, the muscular warrior previously played by the
inimitable Schwarznegger. Ron
Perlman co-stars and Stephen Lang will play the main bad guy. Let's hope it is as violent as the original and the film studio don't decide to give it a 12A rating!!!
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger TidesJack Sparrow is back, earning from what I hear a very lucrative fee for Johnny
Depp. He is joined by Penelope Cruz, Geoffrey Rush and Ian
McShane who plays Blackbeard. Not one of my favourite movie series' but probably worth a watch.
Stay posted for movies for 2011...
