Default Some movies for 2008 I really want to see

The Day the Earth Stood Still

A remake of the classic and iconic original


10,000 B.C

This just looks awesome


The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Hopefully it does the source material more justice than the first one.

Narnia doesn't interest me, but the other two are on my list. I also want to see "Cloverfield" and (of course) "Star Trek".

Cloverfield caught my interest, but I don't know enough about it to decide wether to go see it or not. Star Trek... Well obvously I'm going to see that. I was looking over at Dark Horizons and there's quite a few coming out that look promising.

It'll take all these movies to drown out the remorse I'll probably feel after watching I AM LEGEND with Will "Get Jiggy" Smith...

Hey now! Wil Smith is a serious actor, capable of eliciting very heartfelt emotions and acting in very dramatic scenes while at the same tim..... yeah nevermind... couldn't in good faith finish that statement.

As long as his role in IAL is not a rehash of "cocky black guy that ALWAYS thinks out loud", AND the story hasn't been butchered too badly, it should be kick-ass. After all, what are the chances of another "Wild Wild West" ever happening again? (heavy sarcasm)

I think Will Smith has indeed proven himself a very capable actor. I'm pretty hopeful for "I Am Legend", but if it sucks... it won't be the first time. And the book is too awesome for any movie version to take away from that.
