That is a lot of hard work Jason (creating the thread). Probably Knowing would be first on my list.

[wnicholas76]

I can't wait for The Hurt Locker the most! Knowing, Push, and New Moon are a close second, third, and fourth.

For whatever reason Push reminds me of Jumper.

I will when I get on a computer with some memory

mine is so loaded that videos dont even play anymore, they just lag through.

Push looks amazing. No plot, just pure cash-in on super power movies. I love it.

I laughed during the Astro Boy trailer. Was it supposed to be funny?

Yeah, I hope Push will be a hell of a lot better than Jumper. The only good thing about Jumper was Rachel Bilson...and that's that.

... How can you love a film that apparently to you has no plot? Agree to disagree on that, needless to say...

Sometimes it's nice to see a movie that's pure fun =].

[bajor27]

I appreciate you taking the time to make this post. I hadn't heard of almost any of these movies. Looking forward to some now though.

Push, Astroboy, Knowing, and maybe The Brothers Bloom.

and wow does Sorority Row sound like Jaw Breaker / I know what you did last summer

To me a film that has no plot and therefore no real story can't be fun.

It is a remake of "The Last House of Sorority Row."

No plot was an exaggeration. What I meant is it's kind of nice to see a super-power movie that doesn't take itself seriously.

I was thinking the exact same thing. but I guess not since as J_UNTITLED
pointed out, its a remake.

Knowing, Astro Boy, and Push are it for me (in that order). Good set of smaller big movies compare to Wolverine, Watchmen, and such.

Well made thread OP!

It looks likes it takes itself fairly seriously to me -- I mean, it's certainly not a comedy or spoof in any way, shape or form to say the least.

Never would have guessed, though I probably should have since it seems like 90%+ of horror movies are remakes now

[Romulus]

I like Chris Evans, so I'm looking forward to Push.

[PS3-Playb3yond]

I'm also looking forward to Push.
