Upcoming Movie Excitement - The Hangover III

While The Hangover II was essentially the same plot as the first movie, this one supposedly goes in an entirely different direction. Not sure where that direction might lead, but I’m ready to see it.

This looks like a magical combination of Ocean’s Eleven (Twelve, and Thirteen) and a David Copperfield special.

Upcoming Movie Excitement - World War Z

I’ve recently gotten hooked on AMC’s The Walking Dead. This seems like it could be an amped up version of the early days of that series. The novel from which the film is adapted is also on my “To Read” list for the summer as well!

Upcoming Movie Excitement - Warm Bodies

Prepare yourself for a ZomRomCom… yep, a zombie romantic comedy! This week’s second “Nicholas Hoult Can Do No Wrong” entry stars Hoult as a zombie who thinks, lurches, and sort of grunts his way into a relationship that might change his afterlife and that of the other undead.

Upcoming Movie Excitement - Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

Jeremy Renner seems to have leaped into a number of blockbuster roles rather early in his career - Mission, Impossible, The Avengers, The Bourne Legacy. But, as with many before him, he’s bound to have a dud or two in his resume despite the other high profile gigs he gets (see also: Halle Berry in Catwoman, Natalie Portman in Your Highness, and many, many others)

Upcoming Movie Excitement - The Heat

What happens when you mix Sandra Bullock’s character from “Miss Congeniality” and Melissa McCarthy’s character from “Bridesmaids” with the major plot points of “21 Jump Street?” Hopefully, “The Heat” will answer this age-old question.

Upcoming Movie Excitement - Oz The Great and Powerful

The Wizard of Oz has been a favorite of many children for generations. It’s much more accessible these days since it plays every few months on cable. It’s spawned a number of spinoff books, the Broadway smashes Wicked & The Wiz (which I’m finally getting to see this summer), and even a dark and twisty sequel from the 80s (though it terrified me and maybe still does a little).  Sam Raimi’s got one of two upcoming movies about the “Merry Old Land of Oz” a prequel that tells the tale of how the wizard arrived and the witches became good and wicked.

Upcoming Movie Excitement: Argo

Since college, I’ve been fascinated with America’s relationship with the Middle East and the larger impact it has on the world today. This movie from Ben Affleck looks like it’s got potential to be really emotional and intense, but is supposed to offer a fairly realistic look into the operation to rescue Americans during the Iran hostage crisis which began in 1979.

I can’t recall the details, but Affleck wanted the experience to feel real for the actors in the hostage scenes so they were put through some pretty grueling treatment during filming. This movie feels a lot like Munich which sparked a lot of emotions and opened a new facet of the history of the Middle East.

Release Date: October 12, 2012

Upcoming Movie Excitement: Nobody Walks

Jim Halpert gets really intense and maybe cheats.

Release Date: October 14, 2012

Upcoming Movie Excitement: Smashed

This movie looks at how a young married couple handles their relationship while spiraling into addiction and alcoholism. It’s getting great reviews, and add the fact that Aaron Paul just won an Emmy for his role on Breaking Bad, and consider my interest piqued.

Release Date: October 12

Everything falls to pieces exactly as it should.
