Nice tribute for Michael Clarke Duncan at the end. Was sad to hear that he passed away, I liked most of the stuff he made.

And you've made me curious about... that movie with Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Lewitt. Will be checking it out. The Hobbit, eh, I'll pass.

not that these are terrible episodes, but it would be far better to do what Yahtzee does when nothing comes out that week i.e. RETRO REVIEW. a Moviebob review of Singing in the Rain? a review of Dr. Strangelove? A review of Annie Hall? Requiem for a Dream? The Hunt for Red October? it would be fucking glorious!

BUT DOES FINDING NEMO LOOK REALLY GOOD IN 3D????

Actually that looks like an interesting fall... really want to see Lincoln, and the Hobbit. Taken 2 looks interesting but i feel it's unnecessary and it might kill the first one if it bombs.

Wreck-it Ralph. YES.

I can't wait for the Twilight movie so I will never have see another stupid trailer for that horrible book ever again. Other than that the rest the the movies that are coming out look good.

The Master: Now THIS won't raise some brows

RE: Blech

Looper: Might be interesting

Frakenweenie: I think Burton at this point is beyond redemption

Butter: Hoo-boy

Argo: Ever since Affleck started directing he's really been churning out some good stuff

Cloud Atlas: The FUCK did I just see?

Silent Hill: Meh; the only interesting thing is Kit Harrington from Game of Thrones is in it

Wreck-it Ralph: If Mario does not show up I will be surprised.

Man with the Iron Fists: Definitely LOOKS interesting; Russell Crowe's inclusions baffles and intrigues me

Skyfall: I think Quantum's problem was more that it was directed by Marc Forster

Lincoln: Because Day-Lewis doesn't have enough Oscars

Twilight: Thank Buddha it's over

Rise of the Guardians: Amusing at least

Life of Pi: Was I smoking something?

Zero Dark Thirty: Too bad it wouldn't be out in time for election day.

Django Unchained: FUCK YES

Hobbit: Good times

P.T. Anderson making a movie about Scientology?

I am oddly hyped for this.

The Big Picture really seems to be more about obscure and bizarre geek things (when it's not about some big societal thing) and how they impact nerd culture. He never just does reviews of classic well regarded films. That's what I want to see on these off weeks.

Django Unchained AND The Hobbit in December? Oh Hollywood, you always know just what to get me for my birthday!

Also, Wreck-It Ralph looks glorious. DISNEY, DO NOT SCREW THIS UP.

Sure, because the movie 'Silent Hill 2' wont be confused with the game 'Silent Hill 2' even though the movie isn't strictly an adaptation of the game (James Sunderland, Maria, Pyramid Head before he sold out etc.) but is actually an adaptation of Silent Hill 3, with Heather Mason having to go to Silent Hill and explore an alternate reality etc. as Silent Hill 3 was the proper sequel to Silent Hill, and Silent hill 2 was pretty disconnected from the whole cult business, which is why it's my favourite.

Oh fuck me, there's a Cloud Atlas film coming out? I mean, I'm not necessarily looking forward to it and I wasn't impressed by the book, but I'm surprised that a movie is being made after how ever many years since the book's release. CA is one of those "smart" books you read once and never think about ever again, so I can't see there being many fans waiting in the wings for this one.

That said, I suspect I'd enjoy the film version more. Not sure why though - the generic, diliberately recycled plots of the story should look just as blatant on the screen.

Looks like there's nothing next week for me, as for later...

Looper: interesting premise for those who've seen the trailers.

Taken 2: We assure you, we didn't get the idea from Die Hard 2

Frankenweeie: I finally won't have to look at those boring trailers.

Butter: A satire of American politics? What an appropriate name....

Argo: One of the more interesting premises I've seen for a film I've seen in a while. Even better that it was based on a true story.

Cloud Atlas: Saw the trailer for this last night. Feels like a more interesting version of Babel.

Silent Hill II: Why is this the first I'm hearing of this?

Wreck it Ralph: I'm not as big of a Pixar fan as Bob is, so I'll just say to lower your expectations to Cars level.

The Man with the Iron Fist: Potentially interesting, but I need someone to vouch for it.

Skyfall: James Bond versus an evil Julian Assange. Oh, and Q is back. I'll be in the first showing...

Lincoln: At least the Oscar bait this year doesn't involve WWII

Twilight Breaking Dawn II: Oh please let this be the end of that series.

Rise of the Guardians: Santa as potentially ex-Russian Mafia? Full of win no matter how that movie turns out.

The Life of Pi: Huh... I thought that was just a short put into the trailers for a few movies.

Zero Dark Thirty: Regardless of how it is, expect the US conservatives to complain about it for some reason.

Django Unchained: Fuck yeah!

Hobbit I: While I enjoyed the Lord of the Rings Movies, I'm not excited about round two...

So, lots of movies to miss until January. See you next time.

And I competely forgotten most the films you've mention except for The Man with the Iron Fist, Django Unchained, Rise of the Guardian, Wreak-it Raplh, The Hobbit, Return to Silent Hill and Skyfall.
I guess those are the films I am looking forward to the most well expcet for Skyfall as James Bond is easy to remember.
