Ten Movies I Definitely See In 2012


It is never too early to start planning a year of movie watching.  Here’s ten that I will definitely catch this year:
Underworld Awakening:  One of my favorite actresses, Kate Beckinsale, is back and kicking human and werewolf booty while wearing skin tight leather.  What could be better?
The Hunger Games:  I have a friend who is friends with Jennifer Lawrence.  I feel like we are almost cousins.
Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones reunite for Men In Black III.  Caution, there is a time travel element in this film.
Christian Bale returns in The Dark Knight Rises, which is rumored to be the last in the Dark Knight series.  I know that Batman will never die.
Neighborhood Watch was filmed near my neighborhood.  I will give Vince Vaughn another shot.
Resident Evil:  Retribution:  Mila Jovovich battles the Umbrella Corporation, again, and I never get tired of it.
Paranormal Activity 4:  I have been told that I don’t possess the fear gene, but PA 1-3 gave me the yips.  Confession - 1 made the hair on my arms stand on end and in 3 I remember thinking “I don’t want to be here anymore.” (I didn’t wet my pants).
Red Dawn:  Simply because I loved the original.
Because Part 1 made my 2011 top ten list (which I caught a lot of crap over), I would be remiss if I left The Twilight Saga:  Breaking Dawn Part 2 off my list.
Peter Jackson finally makes peace and brings us the long awaited The Hobbit:  An Unexpected Journey.
Vampires, werewolves and zombies all make the list.  Three hot selling books made into movies appear.  A comedy and a superhero somehow snuck on there as well.  Overall, I would say that the theme still runs dark.  Lots of characters dressed in black battling the forces of evil.  2012 looks to be a good year at the movies.  (Note:  a couple of films that I will attempt to avoid this year are The Expendables 2, The Avengers and anything 3D).
