Paramount – 2009

Joblo released a list of upcoming films for this year. Here the highlights.

1. Hotel Dogs – January 16th

Have no interest in seeing, but wanted to make a point. Studios are laughing all the way to the bank with the trend of cayennes with a stupid direct to DVD Beethoven sequel, the chihuahua movie, and the Owen Wilson flick, I can’t stand it.

2. Defiance – January 16th

I was looking forward to Valkyrie. During that time, a fact was brought up to me. You have an American, Tom Cruise and a group British actors with Terrence Stamp as Nazis, there’s no suspension of disbelief there.

After seeing the preview for this Daniel Graig period piece a few times, this looks more legit. Graig’s Scottish accent is stellar from the trailer alone. Even though Liev Schreiber has actor chemistry with Graig as his friend in arms, but I just don’t see it with Hugh Jackman in Wolverine.

3. Monsters & Aliens – March 27th

The last few animated films like Meet The Robinsons and Kung Fu Panda were really good, this one is interesting in concept.

Basically a 50’s scifi comedy where aliens are invading Earth and the government recuits a giant mutant, The Gill Man, Blob, a mad scientist cockroach, and The 50 Foot Woman to save the world. Looks funny.

4. The Soloist – April 29th

While it has Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr. The story is similar to films like Resurrecting The Champ with Samuel L. Jackson and Josh Harnett, and The Fisher King starring Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams.

5. Star Trek – May 8th

Antisapating a reboot from this franchise. When the second trailer came out, I was stoked. Definitely going opening day at the IMAX for the big space battle experience. I hope in a Casino Royale fashion, the classic theme blasts as the crew boldly goes where no one has gone before.

6. Imagine That – June 12th

Who gives a shit about Eddie Murphy anymore? Seriously, he makes a flop after flop, shit movie after shit movie. The premise is Adam Sandler’s joke Bedtime Story. Another case of two movies with the exact same theme.

7. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – June 26th

Since the first one has came and went, I haven’t been eager to watch it again on DVD. I guess the amount of screentime the humans had which was alot. Just hope that Australian actress isn’t there cause she was overdramatic and her accent didn’t help much either.

From the released images of the battle in Egypt, they gonna explore more how Earth and Cybertron are linked like Krypton is related on Smallville.

7. G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra – August 17th

With Stephen Sommers at the helm and the bad news report on the teaser trailer, the Special Forces’ first live action feature is setting itself up to be mediocre.
