Coming Soon

Here is a short list of movies coming soon to theaters which I'm really excited about and also the reasons why.

Just click on the Title to view the trailer.

Sex Drive - This movie definitely has the potential to be the next Superbad. Like I said in my review for Roger Dodger, this is the decade of the geek/average guy and it looks like this one has two very affable ones. It appears to be a movie about a couple of friends trying to get the girl of his internet dreams by "borrowing" his brother's car and taking a road trip to find her. Oh, and this isn't just any car, it's a '69 GTO. And like the best friend says in the movie, "you roll up in a '69 GTO... she's not gonna care what you look like." Here's to hoping the geek gets the girl. Granted the premise seems a little Eurotrip-ish, but the scenes where the main character is dressed up in a mexican donut costume are reason enough to get me to see this movie.

Knowing - I know many people seem to dislike Nicolas Cage but I feel he performs the role of concerned would be hero pretty well. He did so in Next and it looks like he will play the part again in this movie. Plus it's directed by Alex Proyas who did films like I, Robot and The Crow. Could be promising.

Yes Man - Jim Carrey looks like he may be coming back in true form here where he plays a man who through a self help seminar can only say yes to things he previously said no to. This changes his life in more ways than he or you would think. Looks like a cross between Shallow Hal and Liar Liar.


Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist - This one comes out this weekend and I am pretty excited to see it. It definitely looks like it's in the same genre of comedy as Juno and Garden State. I'm a total sucker for these types of movies.

Role Models - Just call me Ronald McDonald cause I'm loving it! I don't know what it is with this resurgence of crass, crude, in-your-face comedy but it's turning out some great hits. First came School for Scoundrels, then Step-brothers and now this. Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott have great a-hole chemistry together and you can see a little bit of redemption in the end based on the subject matter. I can't wait for this one!
