Here's a really cool link with all the "great" upcoming movies of 2008. See, I put great in quotes because, thats a really big list with a lot of duds, IMO. So I sorted through the upcoming titles and found what I thought were the best, and I even found trailers for each.

#1: Get Smart. This looks awesome, lot of big name actors like Steve Carrell and The Rock aka Dwayne Johnson.

Release Date: June 20

#2: Cloverfield. I couldn't not put this on my list because, well, there's a ton of hype.. and a ton of intrigue. They've done a good job hiding the monster and much of the plot. All we do know is that something is attacking New York City... that's really all.

Release Date: Everyone should know this by now: January 18 (1-18-08)

#3: Rambo (IV or To hell and back). Again... the hype's gotten ahold of me. Judging from the on set pictures that I've seen, this movie might be a bit disturbing, and no, not because it's going to be pretty violent, but because Stallone has become a pretty nasty flabby old man. But I'm pretty sure the computers will take care of that.

Release Date: January 25

#4: Semi-Pro. Jackie Moon is to basketball as Ron Burgundy is to... anchoring.

Release Date: February 29

#5: Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Directed by Kevin Smith who had a lot to do with Clerks II, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (he was silent bob), and Dogma. So if you liked those this should be pretty good. This would either rank higher or lower if there was a trailer out... but right now, I'm just judging on plot: "Lifelong platonic friends Zack (Rogen) and Miri (Banks) look to solve their respective cashflow problems by making an adult film together. As the cameras roll, however, the duo begin to sense that they may have more feelings for each other than they previously thought." That actually doesn't sound too hilarious, but there's bound to be some nudity... right? So... still good. (I'm just kidding around, ladies... I'm not that desperate for the action, unless you want me to be (I don't actually know how that's supposed to be funny, it might not be (But I do enjoy these nesting ideas within nesting parentheses)))
Release Date: Sometime in 2008

#12: Scanners. Yes, a remake of a classic... Well, maybe not a classic, personally I haven't watched it, but I have heard about it. Mostly all I've heard about is the infamous scene that goes a little something like this: (CLICK THE IMAGE)

Pretty wild huh? I really want to see how they'll remake that one scene...
Release Date: Don't really care... Just wanted to use that gif

Looks like a fun year. Next post: New Years Goal
