DO NOT SEE SPLICE!!!
Well, not like I bothered to see it, because I am a pretty good judge of a movie based on trailers. But my roommate saw it and it is the worst attempt at a horror film in the past 5 years. A male and female scientist splice human DNA with some kind of animal DNA and end up with a strange creature that looks like the female scientist. The male scientist falls in love with the creature (oh lord) and does what any man in love with a woman would do with said woman (ONLY IT ISN'T A **Filtered** WOMAN!!!!). Creature attacks female scientist out of jealousy...etc...etc...it's half gore-porn half thriller.
Anyway, on to better movies....
The Expendables - not just for the Stallone factor, but the movie is packed with almost every major action star from the past 40 years. You've got Arnold making an appearance, Bruce Willis, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Sly Stallone (with a washboard stomach at 62!!), and probably a few more but those are off the top of my head. I don't care if it turns out to be a bust - which it probably won't - because the idea of all these guys working together on a single film will outweigh any suck factor when I see the film.
Predators - Rodriguez is not only going back to the mysterious beast in the forest routine like the original Predator movie, but he's putting the humans on the home planet of the Predators. I hear rumor that there will also be a new kind of beast introduced in the film. AVP and AVP2 were terrible in that they screwed with the history and the timeline and everything else from the respective series of Alien and Predator. But this one was supposedly shot as a stand-alone that is meant to revamp the Predator series. I can trust Rodriguez on this one...I hope.
Resident Evil: Afterlife - while the series thus far has only been "good" instead of great/amazing/phenomenal, I will see where they take this next one. It looks like it will at least have some awesome fight scenes. If we're lucky, we might even get a better plot line than the last movie had (which isn't too hard to beat).
Salt - Angelina Jolie running for her life and accused of being a Russian Spy hidden within the CIA and part of a plot to assassinate the President sounds like a pretty good movie for an action junkie like me. They've got my attention, but I don't have high expectations; I just want another excuse to watch her blow **Filtered** up.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - the quirky guy from Superbad has to defeat a girl's seven evil exes in order to date her in this ridiculous comedy. It looks like it might be worth my money. But I have been let down before.
Devil - the idea of a movie about being trapped in an elevator brings back memories of Phone Booth, but when you throw in the idea that one of the people in the elevator is the Devil in disguise it makes it a bit more interesting. Maybe not a thriller I will see in a big theater, but worth my $4 in our cheap theater.
Red - Bruce Willis in another action movie. I can't help it, I'm obsessed with watching the man kick major ass. Add in the rest of the actors playing CIA retirees and I'm stoked! This movie can't come out soon enough for me.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows: Part 1 - I've seen the rest of the series, I may as well finish it. Honestly, it looks like the series will stay true to form and be a fairly good movie. But I won't see it in 3D, and I won't be happy with the fact that they are making it two movies unless they really work hard to get the books right. I reserve judgement for when I see it.
The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader - I loved the books, so I have to watch the movies. They are older now, so it will not be as much of a child.
TRON - there is no way I would miss this remake! Not with the advances we've made in technology.
Vampires Suck- a spoof movie like Scary Movie or Not Another Teen Movie that looks to spoof on the Twilight series. Not one I will spend $10 for a ticket, but I wouldn't mind a trip to the cheap theater for some cheap laughs.
