Right away I see State of Play...i suggest that one be a rental..unless you have already seen it and liked it.

I didn't like Duplicity or Public Enemies. Otherwise, it seems like a pretty good list. I really enjoyed Away We Go and would recommend it. Sugar is a very good movie about Dominican baseball players, more of a drama than a sports movie. Edge of love was beautifully photographed and some of the performances were pretty good.

A few movies that I haven't seen, but have peaked my interest are:
Adventureland
Damned United
Rudo y Cursi
Paper Heart
World's Greatest Dad
Moon
Bright Star
The Hurt Locker
Ponyo

There is also a mexican gang movie whose name escapes me.

The Mexican gang movie is probably Sin Nombre, which I have at home on netflix right now. It won the directing and cinematography award at Sundance this year.

I just realised I haven't bought a lot of releases for 2009 so far, not that many that were insteresting for me, so far I got

Dragonball Evolution (now be nice, I like the movie alright!)
Watchmen
Underworld Rise Of The Lycans

I also bought Hulk vs Thor/Wolverine & Wonder Woman. Slow year for me. I will get Star Trek later on this year and probably Up at one point in time.

I know! Sometimes, the image seems so transparent in a way, with artifacts, and the sound can range from being muffled to being ear-shatteringly loud. And it's so expensive.

What I want to know is, why are we still watching movies projected on celluloid films on a projection screen? This is like 100-year-old technology now. Shouldn't we be watching movies on a gigantic wall-sized LED screen or something? Just wondering.

+100

agreed. dialogue is hard to hear, and actio sequences can be over the top.

when i tell my friends "sorry, i dont want to go, the movie theater quality sucks", they look at me like i'm a prince in a castle who won't go hunting off the castle grounds

bottom line is: why pay $10 for a movie ticket when i can buy a blu-ray for $12?

i think the gigantic LED screen is a great idea. the projection screen just seems so fuzzy when i go to watch a movie now, maybe its because my eyes are spoiled with glorious 1080p. either way, i'd guess i only see 2-3 movies a year in the theater, if that.

[Propellarhead9]

I'm looking forward to:
Up
Zombieland
The Hangover
Star Trek
Terminator Salvation
GI Joe
Harry Potter
District 9
Paranormal Activity

It may be a good example of a blu ray doesn't make it a good movie. If you really want to talk about buying a blu just because of its quality then why not mention Blade Runner...Im certainly not going to rush out and buy a movie just because it looks good...besides if i wanted to show off blu ray then i would either put in blade runner or watch the first ten minutes Iam Legend....

Right..............since when did people start caring more about the technology than the movie itself. Unless of course, you actually think Transformers 2 is a good movie

Well then in your opinion Transformers 2 is the best out there but how can you determine what is..in my opinion blade runner is due to the remaster and butt loads of special features...
