I really want to see everything on your top 10 list but True Grit, Black Swan, and Tron are the standouts for me. Plus, I had no idea Peter Weir had a new movie coming out.

Well, that comment was positive. I'm excited about seeing it, but I did hear kind of lukewarm response at TIFF. More excited to see it now!
I think you'll enjoy it. I saw it at the Cucalorus Film Festival here in Wilmington and everyone in the theater was talking about it afterwards; everyone enjoyed it. The main kid (dunno how to spell his name properly) is a huge badass.
 
Watching Black Swan again this week. Movie was fucking amazing.
Then - Tourist, Tron Legacy, True Grit and Blue Valentine in the next 4 weeks.

Also, watch The Illusionist people. It's better than ToB in my opinion.
Finally, as a huge Inarritu fan - Biutiful didn't do too much for me. Although, Bardem is fantastic.
 
Most of the list is gonna end up limited, and won't play anywhere near here.

Definitely will see True Grit. Will likely see Tron Legacy and Narnia. Might end up seeing The Warrior's Way :lol

Really disappointed that 127 Hours isn't playing here.
 
I pretty much want to see everything in the top 10 list, plus Rare Exports, Night, and Morris

So basically, my Netflix will be busy in a few months :lol
 
Pretty much everything in the top 10, but I'm mostly really, really excited to see Black Swan when it opens here on Friday.

Don't forget about Coppola too :D

In what alternate reality is Sofia Coppola anywhere close to being in the same league as Weir, Aronofsky and the Coen brothers? Or maybe you were making a joke and I didn't get it... IMO the next most talented filmmaker from this list is probably Mike Leigh.

Rabbit Hole, the Way Back and Another Year for me. Hopefully at least one of them opens nearby. :\

I don't know why anyone would want to put themselves through this movie. Even the trailer was just enough for me. :lol

It was pretty brutal, but I loved it. There are some funny moments in it. I've heard Blue Valentine is similar.

Heh, understandable. Personally, I love being put through the wringer by a film, especially ones dealing with grief. I've heard some excellent things about it, and I'm also a fan of Mitchell and Kidman.
 
OH MY GOD THE ILLUSIONIST IS FINALLY OUT

and true grit and black swan and that Santa movie fuuuucking hell what a month

Why does Depp look like he put on weight for the tourist?

Oh wait what the hell just realized The Tourist is ahead of The Illusionist on this cracked out list??

How the fuck do you adapt a Radiohead song into an action movie anyway?

UGH, WTH EXPENDABLE, JEEPERS.
 
chronicles-of-narnia-the-voyage-of-the-dawn-treader-poster-0.jpg


this for me
 
Interested in all 10 on the 'see' list, plus Rare Exports, Another Year and The Illusionist (can't believe Tati+Chomet was relegated to the 'matinee' list...).
 
TRON, True Grit, Black Swan, Casino Jack


also, "Night Catches Us (Tanya Hamilton; Dec. 3rd)" is good, but sometimes a little slow for my taste.. Anthony Mackie is awesome in it though.
 
I saw I Love You Philip Morris on the plane ride back from Paris in July and really enjoyed it. It was very funny and it gets surprisingly twisted (if you don't anything about the real story anyway).
 
only flicks im checking out this month...

Tron: Legacy
The Fighter
Biutiful
Black Swan
True Grit



thats about it...
 
Expendable. said:
I'm sorry! :lol

I've never seen Bellville :/
It's wonderful, but The Illusionist looks even better.
I've little doubt it will top The Tourist, Tron Legacy...hell, probably most of the 'see' list.

Dude, even if you haven't seen Belleville, The Illusionist is based on a fucking unproduced Jacques Tati script. That factor alone puts it on the must-see list.
 
Good to see consistent reports of Nicole Kidman delivering an Oscar-caliber performance... apart from Birth and Dogville, she's been out of the count making shit for so long, and I think Margot at the Wedding made her see the light.

It made me see the light that I can never take her seriously because she has the surgically altered plasticine face of a 50's Gimbel's mannequin.

You don't understand her genius. Lost in Translation spoke to me...
 
I expect Tron to be so bad it's good.

Sad to see Narnia not on your list. I can't wait for Dawn Treader. One of the greatest fantasy novels ever, and coming off two films that have been really good adaptations. Wardrobe was great. Prince Caspian... well, Prince Caspian was a good try at adapting a book that wasn't very good, and didn't have nearly enough material for a movie.

Hope it does well, would like to see more.
