This year has been a slow year for movies so far. If you haven’t been going to the movies, don’t worry because you haven’t missed much. The best movie to come out this year in my opinion so far has been Kick Ass, which isn’t saying much. It was a very unique take on the superhero movie, but at the end of the day, it’s a superhero movie.
It’s a good thing the summer movie season is upon us now and we have some better flicks to look forward to.
I am a big science fiction guy. Because of this, the new movie Splice, about a team of scientists who play God by creating a new species by combining human and animal DNA, is right up my alley. It stars Adrien Brody and was released this week.
With the potential to be the biggest Pixar success yet, Toy Story 3 is coming out this summer. The original Toy Story was the first CG animated movie of its kind and Pixar has been churning out classics ever since. You know if they took this long to make it, that it will be great.
My most anticipated movie of 2010 is Inception. The movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page and Joseph Gordon Levitt and is a psychological thriller about stealing information from peoples dreams. The trailers have been vague in typical Christopher Nolan fashion but Inception is sure to be amazing.
If you are not familiar with Christopher Nolan’s work, you should be. Memento, Batman Begins, The Prestige and The Dark Knight are all amongst my favorite films and at this point, I trust the guy with any script, as does Hollywood.
In a last attempt to save his career, M. Night Shymalan will be releasing The Last Airbender based on a childrens show of the same name on Nickelodeon. I have to admit, the visual effects in the trailers have looked pretty impressive and I won’t be ashamed to be lined up with the Nickelodeon generation to see this one.
On the indie side of things, I can’t wait to see the Jonah Hill comedy, Cyrus. It also stars John C. Reilly and the great Marissa Tomei and looks both creepy and hilarious. From some friends who saw it, I have heard that it is a heartfelt movie and appropriate to see on a date.
