2008 is still a couple of months away, but it’s fun to look ahead to movies releasing in the near future, especially those that you may not have heard of (yes, I am sure most of you heard about Cloverfield and Rambo). Granted, January and February aren’t the best months for movies, but I found several that look promising.
I tried to include a little bit of everything - action, drama, comedy and horror. A few of these flicks look really intense. In fact, I’m not too sure about Funny Games, which is a remake of a foreign film - looks like it may be a little too disturbing/intense.
Some of these movies were either presented at film festivals or were previously released in other countries, so don’t let the release dates in the trailers fool you. Let me know which ones you plan to see or if there are others you think I should have included.
Cloverfield (January 18, 2008)
Rambo (January 25, 2008)
Be Kind Rewind (January 25, 2008)
All The Boys Love Mandy Lane (February 1, 2008)
Charlie Bartlett (February 1, 2008)
Vantage Point (February 15, 2008)
Funny Games (February 15, 2008)
The Signal (February 22, 2008)
Semi-Pro (February 29, 2008)

Top 100 Movies: No. 84 - Alien (1979)

“In space no one can hear you scream.” One of the best taglines ever for one of the scariest movies ever - Alien, No. 84 in my Top 100 Movies list.
This flick could have easily made it into my Top 15 Movies to Watch on Halloween. However, I limited the movies in that list to those which are typically thought of as Halloween fare - haunted houses, ghosts, the undead, the boogeyman, etc. That being said, I may have to make room in that list for Alien next year.
I know, a lot of people prefer Aliens. Not me. Aliens is an action movie first and horror film second. I love action flicks, but great horror movies are released so infrequently that it is really special when one works as well as Alien. Not to mention, Alien has one of the most famous (or infamous) scenes in horror movie history. Antacid anyone?
The original trailer for this flick is incredible. Be sure to check it out . . .
