I like these posts/lists and I understand it's all opinion, but you should still include some other films under a "noteworthy" section such as Sherlock Holmes, just as a heads up for people who are interested. Even if you didn't like it, quite a lot of people do and it has a 70% rating on RT. The fact that its sequel is coming out this month is kind of a big deal.

Hearing really really good things about Shame. But I'm most excited about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Outside of gaf I don't know anyone that gives a shit about tintin. MI4 and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo are the films people seem to talking about.

Is it worse than reading the comics?
Same here. My friends will probably only want to see Dragon Tattoo though.

I wish I hadn't read the books. I think it would be awesome to watch from Fincher's perspective.

Awkward terrible question time, GAF.
I work really weird hours on Fridays so it's hard to make plans to go out with people. Instead I made it a sort of tradition to treat myself to a movie, however late I make it out of work. Then I usually call my mom to talk about it after, since she's the one who got me hooked on trips to the cinema to begin with.
My mom passed away last week.
For obvious reasons it's been a while since I've been to the movies and a part of me wants to go just to aim for a little normalcy, if only for a little while, but it's really hard to pick a film. My emotions are all over the map and out of whack. Mostly I've narrowed it down to Young Adult or Hugo. While Young Adults is going to potentially have more serious, heavy moments, it's also not as likely (I think) to be the kind of movie that my mom would have been into so less likely to remind me of her than Hugo is, even though that's clearly more escapism.
So yeah, like I said, I know it's an awkward question. But any suggestions?

Expendable.

If you are emotionally unstable, do not see Young Adult. Hugo even has some heavy moments. What about something like The Muppets? Even though I didn't like that film a whole bunch. Honestly, wait a week and see Ghost Protocol for pure fun.

Just want to say thanks for these threads. I just made a big list of movies I need to watch, I really need to catch up :lol
And after looking at it, it looks way less promising than what I saw last year :/

you are so wrong
The reason you're not getting Rocknrolla 2 is because of the $500 million disparity between Rocknolla's gross and Sherlock Holmes'.
And SH3 was already confirmed to be in the works :lol

What's up with Sherlock Holmes sequel getting practically no hype at all? I saw posters on buses and was like 'um...it's coming out in 2 weeks?' I had no clue. I loved the first one, hopefully the 2nd is as good.

Will Spielberg be the first person to have two bombas during the same week?

I hope not. Aside from Dragon Tattoo, Spielberg's got the two most interesting flicks coming up.
Seriously...War Horse is gonna be good.

Expendable.

War Horse is good...and I've heard such insanely mixed reactions on Tintin. I know many trusted friends that put it in their top 10 because how much entertainment is packed into it. Then I know others that were exhausted by it and turned off.

Doubt neither of them will bomb.

possibly Tin Tin. Movies like War Horse are usually not huge box office smashes, they just need their awards buzz.

In reality Tintin is going up against Alvin 3. Which is a profitable series. The first movie made $44,307,417 in its first weekend. The second made $48,875,415 in its first weekend. Kids are going to pick Alvin over a movie they have no attachment to.
Let's be honest every adult in America is going to want to see: MI4 or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; Sherlock Holmes was enjoyed but a lot of people and will have a strong few weeks. So it will more than likely stay in the top five for the first couple of weeks. It made $62,304,277 its first weekend and they are playing the trailers every other commercial break during sunday football. It's going to do well.
Now War Horse is a tough sell. The trailers makes the movie seem like it follows the horse around. I'm not sure who would want to see that.

girl with the dragon tattoo!
So I just need to say that if you do plan on seeing "We Need to Talk About Kevin" make sure you aren't interacting with anyone after the movie... You will be in a rotten mood after it is all done.
My gut is still wrenched. That film is one of my nightmares on screen.

Sherlock holmes 2 looks absolutely dire.
Between the gun toting, drag wearing and horrific RDJ british accent, I'd rather sit on my hands on wait for new years - season 2 of the BBC Sherlock.
