2012 movies.....

This may not be the right thread for this, as I'm not sure if all of these are coming out this year, but my previous post about "End of Watch" reminded me of some kickass-looking previews I saw last night:

Argo - re-telling of the Iran hostage crisis of the 1970's starring (and directed by) Ben Affleck, with a host of other A-list cast members.

Alex Cross - a suspense thriller starring Tyler Perry as the hero and Matthew Fox from "Lost" as one badass-looking villain.

The Man with the Iron Fists - a pulpy-looking martial arts flick starring Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu, RZA and Pam Grier (among others), with awesome action and music galore. Written and directed by RZA with additional writing by Eli Roth. Sponsored by Quentin Tarantino. The tagline is "they put the F.U. in kung fu." That pretty much says it all.

Argo looks awesome. Will definitely be seeing that one.

On one page they try to explain the vertical (imaginary) and horizontal (real) timelines with Donkey Kong.

Argo and Man With The Iron Fists will both be great.

I just can't get sold on Alex Cross though. I'll still see it but it just hasn't struck anything with me yet.

Now that I think of it, I might be inclined to agree with you here. I just watched the Alex Cross trailer again online, and this time around, it looks like it has potential to be really cheesy if not executed well. Plus, it's gonna be tough accepting Tyler Perry in this role when we've seen him 2,874,565 times dressed as an old lady.

EDIT: Matthew Fox still looks creepy as fuck though.

Argo looks fantastic and I'll probably be seeing that opening weekend. The Man with the Iron Fists should be fun given the cast and RZA's obsession with old-school martial arts movies , Hopefully it's better than Ninja Assassin. Alex Cross looks like shit imo, Looks incredibly cheesy (in a bad way) and Tyler Perry's presence is never a good sign.

Tyler Perry is a fucking joke. Can't stand that asshole.

Ninja Assassin was awesome. Just insane over the top action.

Eh I thought it was alright. I mean I don't tend to judge mindless action movies on their stories, but the story in Ninja Assassin was fucking awful beyond the point of overlooking. The action was good, but there was too little of it to overpower the horrible story.

Going to see Dredd Wednesday, and hopefully going to see Paranorman over the weekend!

Looper is my next big hit after that then.
