connielane at 08:20pm on 29/08/2005 under moviesA couple of weeks ago, I received in the mail (as many of you probably did as well) Entertainment Weekly's "Fall Movie Preview" issue. Or as I call it, The Moviegoers' Bible. Fall, as you may have noticed, is when most of the higher-quality films come out. Studios are anxious to get out their Oscar-contenders between Labor Day and New Years, so while summer is mostly about fun and fluffy movies, autumn is a good season for the crème de la crème.
So, in case you care :P, here are the movies that I am looking forward to seeing over the next few months. Pop some popcorn; this may take a while. :D
September
(9th) The Exorcism of Emily Rose - [Insert inevitable comparisons to The Exorcist here.] Seriously, though, people are saying good things about this movie. I like that the story apparently doesn't center on the exorcism itself, but the trial of the priest who performed it.
(9th) An Unfinished Life - I am determined to see Jennifer Lopez make a decent movie. I know she can do it. I've seen Out of Sight. I think the key is a good director, and Lasse Hallström is certainly that. Add to it the presence of Robert Redford and Morgan Freeman and I'm very hopeful indeed.
(16th) Everything is Illuminated - I think Liev Schreiber is one of the finest actors who rarely if ever gets recognized for it. I'm interested to see what he does behind the camera. Plus, you know, Frodo is in it and all. :P
(16th) Just Like Heaven - *hums The Cure song* I was dubious about this one. The trailer reminded me of City of Angels - which I STILL refuse to see. But the line about "why can I see her when no one else does" and the promise of a "great twist" as Reese Witherspoon calls it has me interested.
(16th) Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang - Robert Downey, Jr. is in it. Period. Oh, and the trailer is hilarious.
(16th) The Libertine - Johnny Depp, Samantha Morton, and John Malkovich. And did I mention Johnny Depp? The director has been at pains to let people know that they will not see Captain Jack Sparrow in this movie. To which I say - I would have expected no less of Mr. Depp. :)
(16th) Proof - Great play, but I'm wondering how well it will translate to the screen. Reuniting Gwyneth Paltrow with her Shakesspeare in Love director, John Madden, seems like it would yeild great results. But I can't quite forget the travesty of Captain Corelli's Mandolin. I'm hoping that was just a one-time slump, though.
(16th) Thumbsucker - The trailer for this is quite amusing. Keanu Reeves as a dentist. Hmmmm...
(23rd) Flightplan - Jodie Foster is one of my favorite actors, and she only makes one movie every three years, it seems. So I pretty much have to see this. Also, the premise is very intriguing - woman and her daughter get on a plane, daughter apparently vanishes while the plane is in the air, everyone thinks the woman is crazy, and the audience wonders if the daughter ever existed.
(23rd) A History of Violence - David Cronenbeg directing Viggo Mortensen (and Ed Harris and William Hurt). Should be good.
(23rd) Oliver Twist - Polanksi does Dickens. Should be fantastic. Although I'll have difficulty not humming "Consider Yourself". This movie has some big shoes to fill.
(23rd) The Thing About My Folks - I saw this at the Nashville Film Festival, and it's excellent. Worth seeing again for the pool hall brawl alone.
(23rd) Tim Burton's Corpse Bride - Burton. Depp. Stop-motion animation. Zombie puppets. I'm there.
(30th) Capote - Interesting subject matter and a very worthy cast led by Philip Seymour Hoffman.
(30th) Mirrormask - Written by Neil Gaiman. Directed by the guy who did the Sandman covers (I've never read the comic, but those covers are rather hypnotic). And the trailer is really impressive.
(30th) Serenity - Dude, if I have to explain why this is a must-see, you need to get your hands on the Firefly DVDs right this second.
October
(7th) Good Night, and Good Luck - He may be a pretty boy, but there's an impressive brain and artistic vision beneath George Clooney's salt-and-pepper locks. This is his second directing effort, and it's another true story. Black and white, this time. With Robert Downey, Jr.
(7th) In Her Shoes - Curtis Hanson directing a "chick-flick"? *strokes chin thoughtfully*
(7th) Waiting... - Okay, my better judgement tells me this is not a film worth seeing. However, having worked a long time in food service, I feel dutybound to watch it, just to see if they got anything right about that experience.
(7th) Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit: Doesn't the title just draw you in immediately, like a guy in a dark alley asking if you want some crack?
(14th) Domino - I really hated the trailer for this. ("My name is Domino Harvey. I am a bounty hunter.") But it still looks interesting.
(14th) Elizabethtown - Cameron Crowe *fangirlsOMG*!!!!1!one Ahem, okay. So, even if it didn't star Orlando "I'm too beautiful to be allowed" Bloom, I would still be dying to see this. Crowe has a way of characterization and storytelling that makes you feel like you know his characters. He's like the new Billy Wilder. I'll see anything he makes.
(14th) The Fog - I'm wary about remakes, especially horror remakes and most especially horror remakes where the original is something by a legend like John Carpenter. The filmmakers claim they're going for more story with this one, which can be a good or a bad thing. Here's hoping the title sequence is shorter than the original, at least.
(14th) Where the Truth Lies - It's directed by Atom Egoyan, who is a genius, and it stars Colin Firth and Kevin Bacon. The novel on which it is based was written by that guy who wrote and sang the "Pina Colada" song, but I'll forgive him that, since the novel itself is great. And if that doesn't sell you a ticket, I have three words for you. Colin. Firth. Three-way.
(21st) Stay - Trailer is supa-creepy. It's an interesting change of pace for Marc "Finding Neverland" Forster, too. Also, Ewan McGregor - mmmmmmm...
(28th) Prime - I like the premise. I love Meryl Streep and Uma Thurman. And how cool is it that the actor who plays the love interest was cast while on a reality show about a struggling actor?
(28th) The Weather Man - Okay, Nicholas Cage annoys me. But I think this will be one of those cool, quirky family dramedies.
November
(4th) Chicken Little - Because OMGthatlittlechickendudeissoCUUUUUUUTE!!!!1 (Dogs everywhere howl in pain from my high-pitched squeals.)
(4th) Jarhead - From the British director who made the incredible films American Beauty AND Road to Perdition comes a look at American military life. I'm hoping this film will be every bit the work of art the other two were.
(4th) The Matador - This sounds a bit like Brosnan's other major departure from James Bond, The Tailor of Panama (where he played alongside a very young Daniel Radcliffe, for, errrr, those of you who care about that kind of thing). But I think that's a good thing.
(9th) The New World - Terrence Malick has been making films for almost 40 years, but this is only his fifth film to direct. Why? Because when he makes films he's really saying something and that takes time. His last film, The Thin Red Line, was a masterpiece, and I expect The New World to be the same.
(11th) Get Rich or Die Tryin' - So, okay, a biopic of 50 Cent wouldn't normally be on my to-see list. But if Jim Sheridan thinks it's a film-worthy story, it must be. I'm interested to see how this turns out.
(11th) Rent - "Live in my house...I'll be your shelter..." One of my three favorite stage musicals of all time, and they've got almost all of the original cast back. I never got to see the original cast live, but I've worn the CD out. I can't wait to see this thing.
(11th) Zathura - Pretty much Jumanji in space. But Jon Favreau is directing, so it should be good.
(18th) Breakfast on Pluto - Neil Jordan movies have to be seen on the big screen. As do movies featuring Liam Neeson and Cillian Murphy.
(18th) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - Um, DUH!
(18th) Walk the Line - *sigh* This will have to be the second fiddle movie of the weekend. I'm seeing it, regardless. Joaquin Phoenix is an incredible actor, and it looks like he's nailed Cash - even down to doing his own singing. I'm SO there.
(23rd) Syriana - I remember reading an article not long after 9/11 where screenwriter Stephen Gaghan (who wrote and directed this) said he wanted to do a political movie that dealt with terrorism, and I guess this turned out to be it. And George Clooney pulled a "Raging Bull", putting on 35 pounds in a month to play the main character. I think that ever since Batman Forever Clooney has been pouring all of his energies into getting away from that bad decision. And I can't help but be thankful, because he's made a LOT of great stuff since. I'm anxious to see this.
(23rd) The White Countess - Ralph Fiennes, Natasha Richardson, her mother Vanessa Redgrave, Vanessa's sister Lynn Redgrave, John Wood, and Alan Corudner in the last Merchant-Ivory film that will ever be made. How could I stay away?
December (Here comes the lightning round...)
(9th) Brokeback Mountain - Based on the Annie Proulx short story. Genre-buster Ang Lee tackles the Western. With a slashy twist.
(9th) The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - Man, it's a good time to be a fantasy geek! Thank you, Jo Rowling and Peter Jackson!
(14th) King Kong - Um, hello! It's KING KONG! Directed by Peter freakin' Jackson! *crosses fingers that I get to see this in Austin a few days early*
(9th) Memoirs of a Geisha - Great material and a great director (Rob "Chicago" Marshall). And it reunites two great Asian-language actresses, Zhang Ziyi and Michelle Yeoh, both of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fame. *can no longer hear that title without thinking of Susan and Emily* :P
(16th) All the King's Men - Why mess with the perfection that was the 1949 original? Here's hoping Sean Penn, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, Kathy Baker, Anthony Hopkins, James Gandolfini and Schindler's List screenwriter Steve Zaillian (for whom this is a directorial debut) have the answer to that.
(21st) Fun With Dick and Jane - The trailer cracks me up to no end. And it's written by 40-Year-Old Virgin scribe Judd Apatow.
(21st) The Producers - A movie based on a musical based on a movie. I didn't get to see this on stage, so I hope this is the next best thing.
(23rd) Munich - Wow, that was fast. Two Spielberg movies in one year? I think Spielberg is at his best when he's rushed or conditions aren't ideal or the shark's not working or whatever. I'm pretty sure this will be loads better than War of the Worlds. At least it won't have Tom "Pod Man" Cruise.
(25th) Casanova - Speaking of directors with two movies out in one year, here's another one from Lasse Hallström. A period piece this time, with Heath Ledger as the eponymous luvvah.
(25th) Match Point - Woody Allen takes a break from his long-time affair with New York City and has a brief (perhaps) and torrid affair with London. This is supposedly his best in years. ETA: Allen actually makes the third director who has two movies coming out in one year. (Thanks,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
antbee, for reminding me about Melinda and Melinda.)
Wow, that's a lot of movies. Some notable films that are missing from the list - Pride and Prejudice (I'm sorry, but nothing will top the BBC version; and I do NOT like the almost-kissing stuff I saw in the trailers.) and the roughly 87 movies starring Dakota Fanning (She's a cute kid, but I think I've hit my saturation point with her.)
It will be interesting to see which of these movies is recognized come Oscar season. *happy sigh* Bring it on!
So, in case you care :P, here are the movies that I am looking forward to seeing over the next few months. Pop some popcorn; this may take a while. :D

And I'm with you on Dakota Fanning. Are there no other little girls who act?

Entertainment Weekly's "Fall Movie Preview" issue. Or as I call it, The Moviegoers' Bible
It's definitely a well-referenced bible at that. I fold down pages and use it for date reminders too. (I hate when you watch a preview and it says Coming Soon and you are like - "Soon in a month or so?" or "Soon meaning Spring of '06?")
Sept. - Just Like Heaven does look like a lighter version of City of Angels but it didn't look *that* bad so I'll probably see it. I definitely want to see Flightplan. I liked the trailer when I first saw it and thought Red Eye was that movie but alas, nope (though it wasn't bad either).
Oct. - In Her Shoes looked kinda cute so we'll see. I love horror movies so I'm sure I'll see The Fog and I haven't seen the trailer for Stay but if you say the trailer is super-creepy then I'm in.
Nov. - Chicken Little - Definitely! It looks VERY funny - things for adults and kids. Gotta love that (besides the fact that I teach a huge Fairy Tale unit to my students. I wish I could take them to see it - if it was "appropriate" enough - though they'll all see it anyway).
(18th) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - Um, DUH!
Ditto! Though, I heard the NYC premiere is Nov. 12th and so my goal in life will be to find *someone* with connections so I can see it then!! I will beg on my hands and knees if I have to. (Seriously.) I want to at least try to go to the red carpet part of the night.
Dec. -King Kong. Yeah? The preview didn't look that appealing to me but maybe I'm just not into movies like that.
Fun With Dick and Jane - I just saw the preview when I saw 40-Year-Old Virgin - omg, if it's even close to being as funny it should be pretty good. *still crying from laughing so hard at Virgin last night.*
(Sorry this still was a long post.) Thanks for posting all the dates and links. I'll have to come back to this again when I am too lazy to go in the other room to get "the bible" to check some fact or date. Hee.

(23rd) Flightplan - Jodie Foster is one of my favorite actors, and she only makes one movie every three years, it seems. So I pretty much have to see this. Also, the premise is very intriguing - woman and her daughter get on a plane, daughter apparently vanishes while the plane is in the air, everyone thinks the woman is crazy, and the audience wonders if the daughter ever existed.
At least from the preview that I watched, it reminds me a lot of The Forgotten not only in the idea of a child disappearing without any trace of ever having existed, but also in that it's coming out at around the same time The Forgotten did, and Jodie Foster and Julianne Moore remind me of each other in a way ever since Moore replaced Foster in Hannibal.
(11th) Get Rich or Die Tryin' - So, okay, a biopic of 50 Cent wouldn't normally be on my to-see list. But if Jim Sheridan thinks it's a film-worthy story, it must be. I'm interested to see how this turns out.
I had not heard of this movie at all. It seems like it could either turn out to be a really great movie or a really bad movie. There probably won't be any in between. Jim Sheridan has a way with getting not only his movies, but the actors in his movies nominated for Academy Awards, so that would be funny I think if 50 Cent became known as Oscar nominated 50 Cent.
(25th) Match Point - Woody Allen takes a break from his long-time affair with New York City and has a brief (perhaps) and torrid affair with London. This is supposedly his best in years.
I noticed you didn't mention that Woody Allen also came out with Melinda and Melinda earlier this year when you were pointing out that Spielberg and Hallstrom had done two films this year. I wasn't sure if that was intentional or not. I haven't enjoyed his work since Sweet and Lowdown and usually more often than not I just pass on his movies, so I have no idea whether Melinda and Melinda was that good or not or just meh. (At least I think Melinda and Melinda was released in 2005 even though the IMDb says 2004.)

The Cell, for example, was very good. The surreality of this movie is really neato.
(mystery)
But I was just saying that she has made one or two good movies in the past, and I think she can do it again.
