2010 Movies Preview

I hardly read CNN.com any more, but I was a little bored and clicked on it today. The lead story? Top 25 anticipated movies for 2010. I am completely underwhelmed.

Here's a few brief observations:

Apparently it's going to be trendy to revive 20+ year old movies - Tron Legacy, Wall Street 2 and Karate Kid. Let's throw in A-Team for another revival as well.

Then there's the long standing franchises - a new installment of Shrek, Toy Story, Twilight, Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter on the way in 2010. Also Iron Man 2 (probably the only movie of the entire group I'm interested in).

Tim Burton is making every movie with Johnny Depp, I guess (Alice in Wonderland), Ridley Scott back with Russell Crowe (Robin Hood) and Martin Scorsese doing the same with Leo (Shutter Island).

Video game adaptation of Prince of Persia is coming - Jake Gyllenhaal is playing a middle easterner?

Not much to get too excited about. What's on tap for 2011?
