Movies and Shows of 2009

So what are some of the featured films and TV shows that some of you are looking forward to this year. From shows I'm only looking forward to the continuation of Heroes. It will give me something to do until classes start back.
For Movies, although I don't think I'll be as fortunate as last year and be able to view nine movies, but these are what I'm keeping an eye on.
Gran Torino
Watchmen
X-Men Origins: Wolverine(SPOILER)Is that child storm:eek:!?
Madea Goes to Jail
Notorious

I think Marvel is supposed to be releasing another movie too this year, but I'm not sure if it's going to come out.

afaik the next Marvel movie isn't slated to come out until 2010. I think that's when they say the Cap movie is coming out.

Looking forward to Watchmen. Haven't heard of many other movies that really get me that excited.

Alice In Wonderland (Tim Burton) - this one's date of release is march 2010 but it's by far the one I'm looking forward to the most... I like pretty much everything that spawns out of Tim Burton's disturbing imagination and I'm sure this one will be pretty sick too:)

Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds [sic, slick].

I am also looking forward to Whedon's Dollhouse. Assuming Fox doesn't cancel it in 2 episodes.

* Watchmen (Assuming Fox wont get in the way!)
* Lost (Nearly there!)
* The 'Legion' episode of Smallville
* Pixar's Up (I think it comes out in '09)
* Xmen: Origins Wolverine (see Watchmen)
* Battlestar Galactica (...i cannot freakin wait!)

I nearly forgot about Inglourious Basterds. I really wanna see that. Tarantino in WWII? Heck yeah.

im looking forward to The Watchmen, but i reckon it could well be another destruction of a Alan Moore classic

The Road was supposed to be out by now, but it's been pushed back to 2009. I'm really getting psyched for it. I read the book in school, and it was the only book for school that I actually paid attention too. xD It's a post-apocolyptic story about a man and a boy who are walking down (get this :shifty:) a road.

It'll be rated-R if they stick true to the story. :bigsmile:

Also, what's the scoop on the Arrested Development film?

The Princess and the Frog!

Why would Origins be affected by the lawsuit?

Not from the Lawsuit...theres been (rumoured) reports that Rothman's been stirring up crap for the director.. changing stuff creatively on set and what not! Apparently his not so friendly with the executives in Fox!

Oh yeah I forgot Notorious is coming out in less than a week how can I forget about that I see previews of it all the time. I wonder who they got to play Lil Kim and will the Foxy Brown speculation make an appearance and have the two snatch out each others weave?

you can see lil kim and Faith evans here

MTV Movies Blog » EXCLUSIVE: Check Out A ‘Notorious’ Love Triangle Between Biggie, Lil’ Kim And Faith Evans

Atleast it sounds like her lol

I'm looking forward to Watchmen (if it comes out) and the Wolverine movie, as well as the return of Lost, Battlestar Galactica, and 24.

Yeah BSG oh my god I need it so bad

Terminator: SCC
24
Lost
Watchmen

Hmm...

The Princess & the Frog
Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince (2009, right!?)
Keeping up with the Kardashians Season 3
Nip/Tuck
90210
True Beauty

That's all I can think of!

Harry Potter, Woverine, and whatever else strikes my fancy.

I'm watching Gran Torino now, it's a good movie for what it's about.

Same. I mean yeah Watchmen, Harry Potter, and the end of BSG are all on my list of must see, but mostly Dollhouse. <3 Whedon.

Watchmen and Lost, mostly.

10 items or less.
I love money 2

that's all folks!

=D

United States of Tara!

Some of you have listed my secret "guilty pleasure" television shows like Keeping Up With The Kardashians and I Love Money 2. :eep:

According to wikipedia, and now facebook, I have to (must, no excuses) watch, in order:

Watchmen
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Terminator Salvation
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra
Astro Boy
Saw VI

You don't think that the Half Blood Prince will be as much as a disappointment as Order of the Phoenix?
Edit: Oh and I forgot about X-Play and Attack of the Show too. I don't care much for their humor, but they are like the only TV source that I can get info for video games, tech, and practically almost all the stuff I care about.

TOOL ACADEMY
TOOL ACADEMY
TOOL ACADEMY

Daisy's show about whatever it is she does

Bret Michael's show about whatever it is he does

Stupid reality crap because there isn't much else on TV I feel like watching unless it's all at once in a box set.

It's not about my expectations it's the fandom that drags me in there. That's why HP films always gross almost a billion dollars each time.

Order of the Phoenix wasn't that bad, though it could have been way better if they hadn't cut out so much of the plot. Prisoner of Azkaban was still the best film to date.

I fell asleep watching Azkaban.

My list equals PG's.

I'm not a huge fan of the Harry Potter films, but what were they supposed to do though with Order of the Phoenix, have a five hour film? It's the largest book! Though god knows the book of Order of the Phoenix could have done with some editing anyway in the first place.

Anyway I can't wait for Lost and the Doctor Who specials this year. And as for films, the new Pixar film Up, because it's Pixar.

Obviously they couldn't fit in the entire plot, but they made the shortest film out of the longest book. That's clearly ridiculous.

You must have been tired.

Movies:

9 based off the short film.
The Road with Viggo Mortensen
Pixar's Up
Where the Wild Things Are

TV:
Lost
Battlestar Galactica

The two main things I'm looking forward to are the movie adaptations of two of my absolute favourite children's books: The Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Where the Wild Things Are. Actually, make that two of my favourite books overall. I don't know how many times I've read each.

I'm also looking forward to seeing:
Pixar's Up
Miyazaki's Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea
Jennifer's Body (written by Diablo Cody of Juno fame)
Woody Allen's Whatever Works
Coen brothers' A Serious Man
Funny People (yeah I know it has Adam Sandler but it also has Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen so shut up)
Public Enemies (Depp vs. Bale is just too exciting to pass up)
