Cloverfield- I've always been a big fan of a good monster movie. Hell, Gojira (the original Godzilla) and the original 1933 King Kong are among my personal favorites. So I have pretty high hopes for this film. I love not having the entire damned film layed out in front of me. Though the shaky-camera style has the potential to be very annoying.

Rambo- The first two Rambos are part of ehat made 80's action movies like Aliens, Robocop, and Commando so awesome. If nothing else, at least it will be delightfully gory. I love a bit of the ol' ultraviolence every now and then.

The Dark Knight: Christopher Nolan worked wonders eith Batman Begins, and from what I've seen from the trailer, this looks like it could be on the same level. The new Joker looks kind of awesome. As long as it doesn't have any subzero Arnold Schwarzeneggers yelling random one-liners about ice, it should be good.

Iron Man- Three words: Samuel L. Jackson.

The Incredible Hulk- As a movie, the first Hulk was pretty decent, just horribly misdirected. Ang Lee is a pretty good director, but his vision of the Hulk really doesn't fit that well. This reboot of the franchise could actually be really good, considering it has Tim Roth and Edward Norton in it.

Wall-E- Pixar has always managed to impress me with the caliber of it's films, and their last film was probably their best yet. As always, I have pretty high hopes for this film. I mean, it's directed by the guy who did Finding Nemo.

Hellboy 2- Guillermo del Toro is one of the great movie visionaries of our time. His last film, Pan's Labyrinth, has managed to become one of my favorite films ever made. Which is why I have a newfound excitement for Hellboy 2. Sure, the original was crap, but this one is starting to look pretty good.

Where the Wild Things Are- It's a kid's film with Forest Whitaker and Benicio Del Toro and it's directed by Spike Jonze. How can you possibly not be excited? Unless you're a communist.

Next James Bond- Casino Royale has managed to bring the Bond franchise back into the limelight. If it's anything like Royale, count me in. Please no invisible Bondmobiles, though.

Be Kind Rewind- The trailer was one of the funniest I've seen in a while.

Burn after Reading- This movie looks like it could be incredible. Plus, the Coen brother's last film, No Country for Old Men, was the best movie I've seen in the past decade. Even better than Pan's Labyrinth.

Imaginarium of Dr. Parsinnus- Looks like a nice return to form for Terry Gilliam. Hell, if this turns out well, I will consider this an official apology for the crapfest that was the Brothers Grimm. Tom Waits being cast as the devil is the best casting choice in years,

I have to be really selective about the movies I go an see in the Theatre. It's just hard for me and my wife to find the time to go, so it has to be a movie that we think will be great, and that we both want to see. Cloverfield - It does look fun. I'll probably end up waiting until it comes on the Move Network though.

Rambo - Really? I'm noticing a trend in Sly's career. I didn't see the most recent Rocky though, so even though it seems like a last ditch effort at a career i can't say if it was worth while or not.

Incredible Hulk - Yes. Ed Norton, Tim Roth. Awesome. Although, it will have to be another wait for TMN.

Wall-E - Yes. This should be some good new-fashion family fun. I'll probably wait until the DVD comes out, and just pick it up. We might as well keep our collection complete.

Those are all my movie opinions for now

Rocky Balboa wasn't bad. Certainly not as great as the original, but it had it's moments. I'd give it a 6 or low 7 out of ten.

Right now all I want to see is "Cloverfield" and "Meet the Spartans". Meet the Spartans come out the day after my birthday. Yay ! The movie I really wanted to see at the end of last year was "I am legend" but I missed it,so I might as well wait for it to come out onto DVD.

I'm definitely seeing Cloverfield, but I'm not touching Meet the Spartans with a ten-foot stick. I didn't even chuckle during any of the trailers.

I am, however, seeing Be Kind Rewind. That looks funny as hell.
