Carnage
This was my most anticipated movie of the end of 2011. A dark comedy adaptation of an award winning play starring some of my favorite actors has win written all over it. I've been obsessed with Christoph Waltz ever since Inglourious Basterds and I will see anything with Kate Winslet or Jodi Foster. Unfortunately the reviews haven't been very positive. It also ended up on one of Entertainment Weekly's "Worst Movie of the Year" lists. I'm not one to let bad reviews deter me if it's something I really want to see. But with that said, the last time I ignored their advice, I saw Seven Pounds, a movie that angered me because it was so bad. Hopefully this will not be a repeat experience.
The Descendants
Aside from just looking like a good movie, I've really been most curious about the raves for Shailene Woodley's performance. When I first heard that she was getting Oscar buzz, I couldn't believe it. I've seen The Secret Life of an American Teenager and it is one of the worst acted shows I've ever seen. But maybe this just shows that the horribly ridiculous, unbelievable dialogue is responsible.
We Need to Talk About Kevin
The trailer for this movie is so chilling. Has Buddy Holly ever sounded so sinister before? I read the book in anticipation of seeing the film and it has made me all the more impatient. Unfortunately it isn't going to be playing in my area as of now. I hope it gets a wider release, otherwise I'll be waiting for the Blu-ray.
We Bought a Zoo
Maybe it's my general love of zoos, but this movie just looks a like a good movie.
My Week with Marilyn
I've never been much a fan of Marilyn Monroe. After reading an interview with Michelle Williams about what it took to become the icon, I am definitely interested in seeing the performance.
Young Adult
Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody working together again? I'm there. Or at least I would be there if it was still playing in my area.
