2012: Your Most Anticipated Films Yet ...

rip.dilla

OK, one of the most over-hyped movie in years has been released and gone, The Dark Knight Returns and the summer is nearly over with its fair share of blockbuster fare


Now as we approach the latter part of the year, its that time for those films that go for critical acclaim and awards



I'm looking forward to (if they aren't gonna be pushed further):

- Lincoln, Spielberg's bio-pic of the former US President to be played by Daniel Day-Lewis, one of my favorite actors. Heavily anticipating that.

- Cloud Atlas, the Wachowski Bros. sci-fi epic. Looks tantalizing with the trailer. Hope it delivers. And cool to see Halle on the big screen again

- Killing Them Softly, violent gangster flick featuring Brad Pitt in the title role. James Gandolfini as well. Did well with critics at the Cannes Film Festival

- Flowers Of War, Zhang Yimou's epic drama with Cristian Bale in the lead role amongst Orientals. Lush cinematography expected

- Savages, Oliver Stone's new shit. Dunno if it has been released in the States. Dude has fallen off somewhat but I'll check it out

- Sparkle, the late Whitney Houston's last appearance on screen. Should be emotional

- Lawless, starring Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Guy Pearce, Gary Oldman, Mia Wasikowska ... nuff said

- The Master, Paul Thomas Anderson's (a Top 5 Director in my opinion) new shit which as the trailers presume is about the origins of Scientology with Philip Seymour Hoffman in the lead role.

- End Of Watch, Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena as LA cops being chased by the mob

- Looper, sci-fi with Bruce Willis and Gordon-Levitt

- Trouble With The Curve, starring Clint Eastwood (this time not directing) and Justin TImberlake

- Argo, new Ben Affleck film as director. He's become a better filmmaker than an actor these days

- Flight, new Denzel as a pilot of an ill-fated plane. Looks like another Oscar nod for Dez

- 47 Ronin, new Keanu Reeves martial arts epic

- Gravity, sci-fi drama from Mexican's finest, Alfonso Cuaron with Robert Downey. Jr

- Jack Reacher, thriller starring Tom Cruise and ...



- Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino's slave revenge flick, which I'll definitely watch on opening night blazed the fuck up.


Feel free to add any ones you're anticipating

How was Savages though?


And that Franco movie is looking good with that cast. Are they gonna be playing themselves?

sniperk

Cloud Atlas (should win an award just for the editing in the trailer)
Flight (Denzel Washington is acting his ass off again)
Django Unchained (Tarentino usually delivers)
Skyfall (new James Bond looks like they are going back to rawness of Casino Royale)

Bonus pick:

Machete 2: Machete Kills! (I think it isn't until 2013 but Mel Gibson and Charlie Sheen? Classic...)

Didnt get a chance to see it. I heard it was iight though. My movie critic friend gave it a 7.75/10 if that means anything lol

and yeah I believe all the characters in The End Of The World are playing themselves

I see what the t/s did...fact is half if not most of those films wont get the critical acclaim The Dark Knight Rises has gotten...

texas409

what about the life of pi that shit looks good

rip.dilla

@nujerz84 I'm more into realism in film/cinema

Ive given TDKR its due. Not a great film but just good IMO


But this thread ain't about that film

rip.dilla

Machete was slightly average to me but Part 2 had better deliver

Well that's gonna happen since Batman in terms of the comic has been around for ages so there has been plenty of time to develop it in peoples minds compared to a film like savages which is an original film I believe. I hate that original films no longer get their shine, but I suppose that's the way things are now

marc123

End of Watch
Flight

Thegreatone3

I'm looking for the James Bond film since the villain seems quite flamboyant and over the top. A good one for the 007

Savages looks wack.

Django Unchained. Definitely going to see this film the day it comes out. The racism might get me angry but I'm sure I'll be happy by the end of the film

With The Warchowski Brothers film i think everyone is expecting it to be a mindfuck like the matrix but it might just be baffling. Still looks good though

CracceR

i wanna see what snyder does with superman

Im talking critical acclaim not how the buying audience perceives it or how its marketed...if anything comic book movies don't get the love from the critics...

But this thread ain't about that film

U threw this in knowingly to get a reaction so I peep the subliminal undercover shit when u said this...

OK, the most over-hyped movie in years has been released and gone, The Dark Knight Returns and the summer is nearly over with its fair share of blockbuster fare


Now as we approach the latter part of the year, its that time for those films that go for critical acclaim and awards

Im pointing out that in terms of critical acclaim most of those movies wont come close to Dark Knight Rises...
