Got it.

Looks like a pretty comprehensive list!

Somehow I suspect I'll be going to SHERLOCK HOLMES that weekend instead . . . .

You've accidentally written March where you meant to write May for a number of the weekends.

I'm probably most interested in WOLVERINE, STAR TREK, TERMINATOR, THE WOLF MAN, and THE BOX.

Just caught the trailer to DRAG ME TO HELL.

That looks really interesting.

My guesses:

Monsters vs. Aliens
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Star Trek
Terminator Salvation
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

The Surrogates seems interesting.

Other than that, obviously I'll see Star Trek, and probably also Terminator, Sherlock Holmes and G.I. Joe. Most everything else I definitely won't see, especially in theatres, with a few maybes thrown in there. Wolverine's a 50/50. If it's based at all on the comic Origins, I really don't care about it.

Edit: Oh, and Avatar will probably be cool, although the description "an old-fashioned jungle adventure with an environmental conscience [that] aspires to a mythic level of storytelling" makes my brain bleed. Yeah, I've already seen Fern Gully.

Out of all of them, STAR TREK. Will be the ''ONLY'' movie I see this year I don't like movie theaters and I like the people that go there ''LESS'' so! Now if your asking me which movies on that list I think will be a ''SUPRISE'' hit? Witch Mountain(that ''ROCK'' guy had a hit with that other kiddie movie so who knows?) Monsters V Aliens ( Heck I may even see it!) Night at the museum, Land of the lost, H2 is a no-brainer, 2012, Avatar, Sherlock Holmes, And sadly,Dear lord! Alvin and the chipmunks The Squeakuel? Good God! how much money did the first one make?

 

[Admiral_Young]

The films I'll be seeing will be:

-X-Men Origins Wolverine
-Star Trek
-Terminator Salvation
-Land of the Lost
-Transformers Revenge of the Fallen
-Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
-G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra
-9
-Avatar
-Sherlock Holmes

I'd be interested in seeing The Knowing because of the concept but am turned off because of Nic Cage. Not particularly a fan of his, he's done some good work but not lately.

 

[Rii]

Looking forward to Avatar. Cameron is responsible for three of my favourite sci-fi films (Aliens, Terminator 2, The Abyss) to date, fingers crossed for a fourth.

Others:

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus

Moon

Mr. Nobody

Stingray Sam
