Shutter Island
This movie was originally supposed to be released in October, but got pushed back by Paramount on account of 'money problems'. I didn't buy that since they had just made hundreds of millions on Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen, but whatever. Anyway, so this is probably tied with the next movie on my list as the movie I'm most looking forward to seeing. If you have not read the book (or seen the trailers) yet, Shutter Island is about a couple of police that are sent to investigate the case of a missing patient at an insane asylum on Shutter Island. The book is fabulously written by Dennis Lehane (Mystic River), and I assume this will be a faithful adaptation. It is directed by Martin Scorcese (The Departed, The Aviator, Gangs of New York, etc) and stars Leonardo DiCaprio. These two men make a fantastic pair every time they work together. This is gonna be released Feb. 19th. I'm going opening day, so I'll post a review the minute I get back. Oh yeah, and this story packs a HUGE surprise ending you won't see coming.
Inception
This movie is directed by Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Memento, The Prestige), so it has that going for it. As you might know, Nolan used a lot of Imax cams for TDK, and I presume he did so for this movie as well. This movie revolved around a futuristic society where the government uses spies to go inside your head while you are dreaming, and they are able to see what you see. This is a blackmail story built up in the midst of it all. This also stars DiCaprio (probably gonna be a great year for him), Ellen Page (Juno), Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose, Nine), Joseph Gordon Levitt (500 Days of Summer), Michael Caine, etc. This is a great cast, and I don't think there is any way this movie could go wrong. It will be released July 16, and I personally will be counting down the days until then.
Other movies I'm looking forward to:
Alice in Wonderland
Iron Man 2
Robin Hood
