There are a couple of movies I want to catch from the cinemas and a couple of old movies.
1: Vantage Point
Starring :Mathew Fox, Dennis Quid and William Hurt
I saw the trailer at the cinema the other day and it seems rather appealing to me. It should be a pretty good movie.
Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox) are two Secret Service agents assigned to protect President Ashton (William Hurt) at a landmark summit on the global war on terror. When President Ashton is shot moments after his arrival in Spain, chaos ensues and disparate lives collide. In the crowd is Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker) an American tourist video-taping the historic event to show his kids when he returns home. Also there is Rex (Sigourney Weaver) an American TV news producer who is reporting on the conference. It’s only as we follow each person’s perspective of the same 15 minutes prior to and immediately after the shooting that the terrifying truth behind the assassination attempt is revealed.

2:Charlie Wilson's War
Starring: Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts,Philip Seymour Hoffman and Om Puri
It looks really good.
Based on the true story of how Charlie Wilson, an alcoholic womanizer and Texas congressman, persuaded the CIA to train and arm resistance fighters in Afghanistan to fend off the Soviet Union. With the help of rogue CIA agent, Gust Avrakotos, the two men supplied money, training and a team of military experts that turned the ill-equipped Afghan freedom fighters into a force that brought the Red Army to a stalemate.

3:The dark Knight
Heath ledger is in it. Edison was in it. They removed his part after the scandal.
A follow-up to "Batman Begins," "The Dark Knight" reunites director Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale, who reprises the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne. Now, Batman raises the stakes in his war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organisations that plague the city streets. The partnership proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising criminal mastermind known to the terrified citizens of Gotham as the Joker.

4)The eye
Starring: Jessica Alba, Alessandro Nivola, Parker Posey, Francois Chau, Tamlyn Tomita
I'm a big fan of horror, so... yeah I'll watch it.
Saw the mandarin version. It's pretty okay.
The movie is a remake from 2002 Hong Kong movie by Thai director, the Pang brothers, Danny and Oxide Pang. The story is about a blind girl who finally able to see again after got a cornea transplant. But strange things happen. She begins to see disturbing images in the mirror that send her on a quest to find out what happened to the eye’s previous owner. (Cineplex website)
5:Step Up 2
Starring: Robbert Hoffman,Briana Evigan,Will Kemp, Telisha Shaw & Jennifer Rouse
I'm a big fan of dance movies as well. No Channing Tatum but I still enjoy looking at moves.
6:Iron Man
Starring: Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges & Terrance Howard
I'm sure a lot of people will watch this when it comes to the cinemas.
Billionaire industrialist Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) makes weapons for the U.S. government. While testing of one of his inventions, he is wounded, captured and forced to make weapons for the enemy. Instead, he fashions himself a crude power armour to save his life and facilitate his escape. When he returns home, he revises his armour and finds purpose as the Armoured Avenger, Iron Man! (Cineplex website)
7: The Happening
Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel, John Leguizamo, Spencer Breslin & Ashlyn Sanchez
Usually M. Night Shyamalan makes really bizarre movies. I want to see how this one turns out to be.
The Happening is a paranormal thriller in which a family must survive a global environmental crisis. The film will portray the earth's plants unleashing airborne neurotoxins that cause people to commit violent suicide. Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel star as an estranged couple who must escape this apocalyptic epidemic.
8: Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull
Starring: Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett, Karen Allen, Ray Winstone & John Hurt
It's a Steven Spielberg movie. I'll definitely watch.
Indiana Jones is having a quiet life teaching before being thrust back into his old adventuring. He races against agents of the Soviet Union for the crystal skull. His journey will take him across New Mexico, Connecticut, Mexico City and the jungles of Peru.
9: Kung Fu Panda
Starring: Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, Ian McShane & Lucy Liu
It looks really cute. I'm watching it:)
I Think baby Christina would love this one.
The lazy and irreverent panda, Po (voiced by Jack Black), must somehow become a kungfu master in order to save the Valley of Peace from a villainous snow leopard, Tai Lung. Set in the legendary world of ancient China, this is the story of Po, our unlikely hero, who enters the rigid world of kungfu and turns it upside down. Po ultimately becomes a hero by learning that if he believes in himself, he can do anything. (Cineplex website)

11: Juno
Starring: Ellen Page, Michael Cera, Jeniffer Garner
It seems interesting with a couple of Oscar nominations. I definitely will watch this.
Sixteen year-old Juno MacGuff is the type of girl that beats to her own drummer, and doesn't really care what others may think of her. She learns that she's pregnant from a one-time sexual encounter with her best friend, Paulie Bleeker. Juno and Paulie like each other, but don't consider themselves to be exclusive boyfriend/girlfriend let alone be ready to be a family complete with child. Although she would rather not be pregnant, Juno is fairly pragmatic about her situation. Although there, Paulie really leaves all the decisions about the baby to Juno. Initially she decides that she will have an abortion, but that's something that she ultimately cannot go through with. So she decides to have the baby and give it up for adoption. But first she has to tell her father, Mac, and stepmother, Bren, that she is pregnant. Although they would have preferred if Juno was on hard drugs or expelled from school, Mac and Bren too are pragmatic about Juno's situation. The next step is to find prospective parents for the yet unborn child. In the Pennysaver ad section, Juno finds Mark and Vanessa Loring, a yuppie couple living in the suburbs. Juno likes the Lorings, and in some respects has found who looks to be a kindred spirit in Mark, with whom she shares a love of grunge music and horror films. Vanessa is a little more uptight and is the one in the relationship seemingly most eager to have a baby. On her own choosing, Juno enters into a closed rather than open adoption contract with the Lorings - meaning she will have no contact with the baby after she gives it up. During the second and third trimesters of Juno's pregnancy which she treats with care but detachment, Juno's relationships with her family, with Paulie, and with the Lorings develop, the latter whose on the surface perfect life masks some hidden problems.

Aiyah crap. I'm kind of lazy to put up pictures of each movie. lol You guys can check it all out from IMDB.com
That should be about it. I'm so lazy to list some more movies. :) hehe So typical of me.

I ended up spending my time watching Spongebob with my baby brother. lol Yes I'm a big kid and yet I still find such cartoon amusing. Oh well, I guess that don't apply to only me. Everyone have their childish moments or liking.
