Curious Case looks was a great movie. They did an advance screening in my city of it, and i was lucky enough to go. Brad Pitt characters are really shifting now, from him in Burn After Reading and this, he has a really wide acting range.

That movie doesnt look interesting at all, how can you say that seems anywhere near as good as Spirit or Curious Case?

Clint Eastwood in Gran Tornino.. OH YEAH!! He should stick to acting not directing, but that movie looks like a good one.

Tom Hanks looks amazing in this movie. A movie regarding Hitler, it has to be good.

Im most excited for both Spirit and Gran Tarino this season. Both of those look very interesting, with interesting plots.

I'm looking forward for Curious Case also, it has a good cast, and a good storyline to back it up, i dont see how this cant atleast be decent.

Thats almost the synopsis for evil hero movie. Basic plot, but the movie should still be good.

Why isnt Frost / Nixon up there?

I'm dying to see Marley and Me, this looks like the ultimate family movie. Plus it has Luke Wilson and Jennifer Aniston in it to very high ranked actors and actresses.
