Here are some movies I want to see coming up!
First one is like - eh, I *might* just netflix it but it looks cute! Maybe James will see it with me. Haha! It's called "Up" and it's a cartoon.
Up - 5/29
Synopsis: From Disney Pixar comes 'Up,' a comedy adventure about 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. But he discovers all too late that his biggest nightmare has stowed away on the trip: an overly optimistic 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell. From the Academy Award-nominated director Pete Docter ('Monsters, Inc.'), Disney Pixar's 'Up' invites you on a hilarious journey into a lost world, with the least likely duo on Earth.
The next one is called "Away We Go". I just discovered it a few mins ago while looking at upcoming movies. It looks like an independent film and it stars Jim from The Office and that one lady that does the talk show with the boston accents on SNL. I also saw JIM GAFFIGAN in the previews, too, as well as Maggie Gyllenhaal who I like, and Harry from Dumb & Dumber. :) Jim has a weird beard though. haha
Away We Go - 6/5
Synopsis: This funny and heartfelt film follows the journey of an expectant couple (John Krasinski [The Office] and Maya Rudolph [Saturday Night Live]), as they travel the U.S. in search of the perfect place to put down roots and raise their family. Along the way, they have misadventures and find fresh connections with an assortment of relatives and old friends who just might help them discover "home" on their own terms for the first time.
I saw the previews for Moon a while back... I think someone at work sent it out. It looks cool/interesting.
Moon - 6/12
Actually, the preview is better than reading the synopsis. Here's the youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIexG8179K8

The Proposal stars Sandra Bullock and it's totally a chick flick and I don't think Ryan will see it with me.
The Proposal - 6/19
Synopsis: When high-powered book editor Margaret (Sandra Bullock) faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she's actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds), who she's tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails, Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious consequences.

Year One is a comedy with George-Michael (Michael Cera) from Arrested Development who I LOVE! It also has Jack Black (I love him in Saving Silverman. Classic.)
Year One - 6/19
Synopsis: When a couple of lazy hunter-gatherers (Black and Cera) are banished from their primitive village, they set off on an epic journey through the ancient world.
Again, better to watch the trailer in my opinion. A brainless comedy, for sure, but it looks hilarious. Here's the YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTNBwIAY9Zo
In contrast, a much more serious, tear-jerker-ish type of film that I'm dying to see. My Sister's Keeper.
My Sister's Keeper - 6/26
Synopsis: Sara (Cameron Diaz) and Brian (Jason Patric) were coasting through life with their young son and daughter when tragedy threatened to tear the family apart. Suddenly, their baby girl falls ill, and her only hope for survival rests in her parents' ability to find a compatible bone marrow donator. Desperate to save their daughter's life at any cost, Sara and Brian conceive another child in hopes that the baby will be a genetic match. But that decision raises a series of moral and ethical questions that rapidly begin to erode the foundation of the once-happy couple's relationship. Incensed upon learning that she was brought into this world for the singular purpose of prolonging the life of her ailing older sister, the young girl (Abigail Breslin) ultimately decides to sue her parents for emancipation.
Then of course, not for a while, but Where the Wild Things Are which is based on Ryan's favorite childhood book (with the same title, of course).
That's it for now!
Movie's I'm NOT going to see... "Drag Me to Hell" (NO WAY!), "Dance Flick" (are you joking?), "Hair Force One", "The Ugly Truth" (could be a good chick flick, but for some reason it doesn't look too promising....), "G.I. Joe", "The Wolfman". Helllzzzz no. Who knows though... I never thought I'd see Star Trek, and really, that movie wasn't bad!
I want to see The Proposal and My Sister's Keeper, so if you go to either of those, let me know :)
