Most anticipated films for the rest of 2009
I'm mostly bored today and felt like making a new blog, so...
Here we are coming into August, the eighth month of the year. We really got only five months left of 2009... Time sure flies, I gotta admit. It felt like just the other month I saw Coraline in theaters... but I really saw it at the beginning of February. Well, since then I've seen a pretty decent amount of films in the theater -- and many of them were good, and some were bad; but ultimately, 2009 has been a fine year for movies. We've seen the reboot of an old sci-fi favorite, Pixar has delivered yet again, Sam Raimi made a good horror film, and we've seen a plethora of good independent films. But alas, 2009 isn't over yet, and I feel like there are still some good films to look forward to... So with that said, I'm going to go through some of my most anticipated films for the rest of 2009, and see how you guys compare with my choices.
Here we go!...

I wasn't sure if this was a film that I'd actually want to see in theaters. Well, several trailers later, I think I'm finally convinced that this film might just deliver. Some good people are making this film, and they seem very excited about this film. It looks like it will be an intense sci-fi film, and that's not something we get all that often. Here's hoping that District 9 will be a kickass cinematic experience.

At one point, movies about fish were a big deal... Another point in time, everyone went crazy for penguins... But this year, the number seems to be all that. When I first heard about this film, I actually confused it for another film coming out. I'm not joking. At first I did not know there was a difference between "Nine" and "9", but apparently there is a major difference between both of them in movies. But anyways, why am I looking forward to this film... Well A) This film is Directed by Rob Marshall, the same guy who Directed Chicago; and B) Daniel Day-Lewis. Carrying on.

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxPhFXVSAGs]The Princess and the Frog[/url] (December 11, 2009). Now I know a lot of people are skeptical about this film because Disney probably hasn't made a good traditionally animated film since the 90s, but I really think this one will change that. Disney is VERY excited for this film. Disney doesn't normally get that excited for a film, unless they know it is something good. Plus John Lasseter (Head of Pixar) has been praising the film like crazy. You got yourself the two men who Directed films like Aladdin and The Little Mermaid, and this might just be the rebirth of hand-drawn animation.

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NOkQ4dYVaM]Where the Wild Things Are[/url] (October 16, 2009). Why did I put this film as my number 1? Mostly because of that trailer. The trailer alone has sold me to go and see this movie. There just seems to be so much magic and heart put into the film, that it would make any grown-up whimper back to their childhood memories and all the adventures they had. Added the fact that this film is based on the beloved children's book of the same name, and the fact that the Author of the same book is praising this film as if it's his own child. That gives this film more than enough reason to be excited. Hopefully it's as good as the trailer. I'll be counting down the days for its release.

So that's that. Those are pretty much the big films I am looking forward to for the rest of the year. Is there any film you feel I forgot or should have added? Let me know. Let me know if you agree or disagree with my choices. All comments are appreciated.
