Hello ladies and gents, Harry again and today I am here to inform
all you peoples on what film treats we will be looking forward to this year. We
have our Dark Knights, our Hobbitses, some Avengers about and a new Spiderman
film but I am not here to inform you of what this years blockbusters and big
hits will be, I want to inform you of the smaller films that may not get the
attention they deserve due to these mammoth blockbusters.
Lets start with
this month, with the Paranormal Activity-esque 'The Devil Inside Me', the story
of a women trying to find out exactly what mental illness of paranormal/demonic
entity is inside her mother. It will probably follow the conventions set down
by Paranormal but I love these films none the less and will be amongst the
first to see it when it comes out on the 27th.
Now for the first
of three appearances for Liam Neeson on this list is not really a
release but a re-release and that is Star Wars: Episode 1- The Phantom Menace,
with the added gimmick of 3D. I don't care about whatever remastery George
Lucas has put into as I'm just so damn excited to watch it all again, Star Wars
in 3D is one of the few films that make sense to use the technology and I am
just damn excited to see it in the cinemas again.
Second Liam Neeson
film in yo faces! The Grey. The story of Liam Neeson going badass in the
wilderness all Bear Grylls style (No drinking of piss from what i've heard
though) as he tries to escape a frozen wasteland that he and some presumably
retarded oil-rig rednecks have crashed in on their way home. Expect to see him
beating down and running from plenty of wolves as they appear to be the
antagonists in this film, coming to you on the 27th, a good day it would seem.
Now moving to March
where I can only assume we will see an Oscar nomination of some sorts as it
deals with politics and anything even acknowledging politics and the
corruptness of the whole fricking world is bound to win something. I am
referring to 'Salmon Fishing In The Yemen' which focuses on the life of a civil
servant in the Middle East. Now I don't claim to be in all knowing of the
political knowings of the world as frankly the news is a load of tripe full of
biased stories and more fiction than fact. But I'm assuming this film will be
rolling in awards seeing as the topic is all very modern seeing as the
Americans have finally left, even though they have still left behind a fair few
ambassadors or whatever they are calling them. So yeah, looks like a good film,
based off a book (Surprise, surprise). Probably worth a gander. And even if it
sucks it will still win *cough* The Hurt Locker *cough*
When April comes
along it seems we will all be in for a treat as Chris Hemsworth will be gracing
our eyeballs not once but twice. And i'm not here to big up The Avengers as I
for one prefer the Justice League tenfold but Chris Hemsworth and Robert Downey
Jr appearing side by side is just amazing for me but enough of this tomfollery.
I want to inform all you film folk of Joss Whedon's other work as he wrote this
one. Cabin In The Woods, check out the trailer, you think you've seen it all
before (ala Evil Dead, Cabin Fever, every film in a woods or cabin ever) But
you haven't. Things quickly turn into a mind fuck of Inception proportions! I
was watching this thing and I was just freaking out! It looks amazing! So
amazing, I am struggling to make any coherent sentences about it.
Tasty bit of controversial comedy next as we see Sacha Baron Cohen
return after what I believed to be a poor film 'Bruno'. 'The Dictator' is 'the
heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would
never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed.' Why will this film be controversial? One look who’s
starring, two look at the trailer and you will see the sort of jokes that come
along, in very poor taste for some but I found absolutely hilarious and three, it’s
based on a book by bloody Saddam Hussein. Definitely one to watch this year.
Next is a what sounds a rather odd film but one
that leaves nothing to the imagination so I will leave you with just the title,
'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter'...
Next is Looper, which has time travel,
badassery, Bruce Willis, hitmen, Joseph Gordon Levitt and badassery. Good Ol'
Bruce Willis is the older version of JGL or is it the other way round? Either
way, theres guns, explosions and badass mofos.
Liam Neeson's final entry but possibly
his most exciting entrance is 'Taken 2'. If you haven't seen the first shame on
you. Go watch it now. Then come back and get ready for a neck snapping,
explosion, story driven adventure where Liam Neeson kills many many foreigners
on their land, this time in Turkey. So yeah, bitches gunna die!
Last but not least is one I called the
second I got out the cinema, after finishing extremely strong
on the last instalment, it is no surprise 'Paranormal Activity 4' was
announced yesterday. This is great news for me as I am a HUGE fan of the first
3 and have my own theories on where this will go.
Hope you enjoyed this list on what to
look out for this year. But this isn't all as 2012 is definitely a
huge year for film unlike last year, which sucked.
Harry
