I don’t tend to write as many posts about upcoming movies as I should, but with all the hype and press that District 9 has been getting, it’s gotten me excited for what else is on the horizon. I may have written about a few of these in the past but just deal with it. Nothing beats 30 minutes on Apple trailers every few weeks to see what else is coming up. I don’t really buy Entertainment Weekly or any of those types of magazines so I don’t necessarily read up on as many movies as I would like. So without further ado, here are some upcoming movies I look forward to and why they strike my fancy, click on the movie name to see the apple trailer:

Law Abiding Citizen: October 16
Just recently came across this film mostly because I have a small man-crush on Gerard Butler. Most of you know of him as Leonidas from ‘300’, but most recently you might have seen him in a preview for the romcom ‘The Ugly Truth’. I normally watch films based on the actors included, and not always because of the story and I will definitely see more of Butler’s movies. (Maybe not Gamer, which seems to be like Death Race in a different medium). The most recent film I saw him in was Shattered which was well done. But back to the point. Gerard Butler seems to be back to his bad ass role in ‘Law Abiding Citizen’ after his child was murdered and the judicial system doesn’t work the way he wants it to. Jaime Foxx finally moves away from his most recent trend of ‘Ray’ and ‘Soloist’ roles into a lawyer or detective that needs to figure out what’s going on and stop Butler. F.Gary Gray directs the film which also makes me think the movie will work out. He’s come a long way from his award winning Waterfalls music video. He’s directed other well known films such as ‘Friday’, ‘The Negotiator’, and ‘The Italian Job’. Hopefully everyone reading this has seen each of those movies.
