Top 10 Fall Movies

Seeing that there weren't many Summer movies that I was excited about, Entertainment Weekly has listed the top 10 for Fall they're excited about.

Not neccesarily my list, but there are a few highlights. Here is the list:

10. Flightplan
9. Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit
8. Walk the Line
7. Jarhead
6. Tim Burton's Corpse Bride
5. Elizabethtown
4. Get Rich or Die Tryin'
3. Rent
2. V for Vendetta
1. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Only three from the list are going to be opening nighters for me. The rest are rentals if that.

Walk the Line is going to be awesome. I was dumbstruck to see Joaquin Phoenix playing a very believable Johnny Cash in the trailer. Did I mention I love Johnny Cash? Can't wait for this one.

V for Vendetta should be a hit. Come on! It's based on a graphic novel by Alan Moore (Watchmen, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), plus its got Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith of Matrix fame). It has to be better than Sin City...

Of course, Harry Potter is going to be the biggest movie of the Fall. Purist might not like this one because they are cutting out some of the side stories, such as Hermione and house elves' rights. Personally I always found the whole S.P.E.W. thing a bit tedious to read anyway.

There we have it.

Now we just have to wait till Winter for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It will be here before we know it.
