Here is a list of movies that will be released this month that I am looking forward to seeing.
Leap Year on January 8th: With Amy Adams and Matthew Goode, this is a sweet romance with all the mystery of Ireland and Leap Year thrown in. I’ve been a fan of Amy Adams for a while and I am looking forward to seeing her chase after her boyfriend and find love in this movie. The plot reminds me a bit of French Kiss and I adore that film.
The Book of Eli on January 15th: With Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman, how can this not be a good movie? Besides it is a post-apocalyptic tale and so it appeals to the geek in me (and my husband who adores that genre). It appears to have several good action sequences which I am a sucker for. I am also dying to find out what is so special about the book. Is it the only bible to have survived the apocalypse or is there something different about it?
The Spy Next Door on January 15th: It’s a Jackie Chan comedy. What else needs to be said?
Extraordinary Measures on January 22nd: With Harrison Ford and Brendan Frasier, this movie looks like it is guaranteed to provoke a tear or two. It also looks like it could be a feel good type movie which I like on occasion. Couple that with Harrison Ford AKA Han Solo & Indiana Jones, and Brendan Frasier AKA Rick O’Connell, and I’ll love it.
Legion on January 22nd: With Paul Bettany and Dennis Quaid and thrills and special effects, this movie is again for geeks. As of this posting it isn’t yet rated but from the trailer I would say it will probably be R. The violence hinted at in the trailer has be wincing a little but everything else about this movie looks neat. If my husband comes and holds my hand, I’ll be watching it. Watching it between the times I am hiding my face against his shoulder.
When in Rome on January 29th: With Kristen Bell and a touch of magic, this romantic comedy hits all the things I love in a movie. Add in Danny DeVito and Angelica Huston and this movie looks like a fun romantic ride that will be just the thing before February and Valentines Day.
How about you? What movies are you looking forward to in January? And why?
