Looper - Oh, my God, I cannot wait to see this movie. Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Joe, and Bruce Willis as his future self, this movie is (from the trailers) everything about time travel fiction that I love.
Won't Back Down - People trying to change school systems... we've seen this movie before, but I'm interested in seeing this one. Director Daniel Barnz doesn't really have the best reputation, but Viola Davis and Maggie Gyllenhaal
Pitch Perfect - This is another one of those movies that appears to be getting a limited release before (hopefully) having a fuller one later. On the surface, Pitch Perfect sounds kind of like Glee, but it's being directed by Jason Moore, of Avenue Q fame, which makes me think that it's not going to be like Glee at all.
The Avengers - Have you seen the latest instalment in the Marvel Universe film series yet? If not, check it out on DVD. The Avengers probably would have been my favourite movie of the summer, had The Dark Knight Rises not also come out this year.
You Only Live Twice -The classic Bond film is being re-released (along with the other Bonds, I'd presume) this year to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the franchise. Because movie franchises should totally last that long.
New York -The latest epic historical fiction from author Edward Rutherford. I doubt Rutherford's style is for everyone, but I really enjoy it - rather than chronicling the story of one or a group of individuals he chronicles the stories of a group of families over the history of a place - New York starts in 1664 when New York was still New Amsterdam and continues until 2009, hitting various moments in the city's history. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you like historical fiction.
