Movies coming out soon that might be good

I Sell the Dead
8/7/2009
Grave robbers discover that selling the undead is very profitable.

How did I not hear of this? It looks Awesome!

District 9
8/14/2009
Aliens land in South Africa and become an oppressed minority.

Based on the short film Alive in Joburg by Neill Blomkamp, which was awesome. Should be good.

Inglourious Basterds
8/21/2009
An elite team is dropped into Germany to kill as many Nazis as possible.

Quentin Tarantino does WWII, so expect lots of swearing and blood and violence, and probably a good time. Also, yeah, it’s misspelled – on purpose, apparently.

World’s Greatest Dad
8/21/2009
A poetry teacher cannot relate to his son.

Actually looks pretty good, a dark comedy written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait.

9
9/9/09
Post-apocalyptic world where living toys try to fulfill a mission.

Looks awesome, I am so there!

The Invention of Lying
9/25/2009
In a world of only truth, one loser discovers the secret of lying.

Looks Ricky Gervais-y… kinda like Ghost Town, pretty good but not amazing. But worth a watch.

A Serious Man
10/2/2009
A man is overwhelmed by daily life.

Looks good, Cohen Bros doin’ their thang.

Whip It
10/9/2009
A quiet, shy girl finds an outlet in roller derby.

Dunno about this one, but it stars Ellen Page and is directed by Drew Barrymore, so there’s two reasons I wanna check it out.

Where the Wild Things Are
10/16/2009
A movie adaptation of the Maurice Sendak classic.

Looks great!

The Box
10/30/2009
Based on a Twilight Zone episode, a couple is given a box with a button in it, and told if they push the button, someone they have never met will die, and they will be given a million dollars.

I dunno… was a cool Twilight Zone episode, but dunno if this looks as well written. Might be good, though.
