District 9- Neill Blomkamp
Moon- Duncan Jones
Taking Woodstock- Ang Lee
Zombie Land- Ruben Fleischer
It Might Get Loud- Davis Guggenheim
Paper Heart- Nicholas Jasenovec
Brüno- Larry Charles
In the Loop- Armando Iannucci
The Cove- Louie Psihoyos
Soul Power- Jeffrey Levy-Hinte
9- Shane Acker
The Informant!- Steven Soderbergh
The Invention of Lying- Ricky Gervais & Matthew Robinson
Surrogates- Jonathan Mostow
A Serious Man- Ethan Coen & Joel Coen
Whiteout- Dominic Sena
Where the Wild Things Are- Spike Jonze
Amelia- Mira Nair
A Christmas Carol- Robert Zemeckis
The Wolf Man- Joe Johnston
2012- Roland Emmerich
Avatar- James Cameron

It’s a lot, but I can’t wait.

I’m bumpin’ this fella with some lesser known flicks.

Taxidermia – Oh my God, what IS this movie?? It looks like Brazil directed by David Lynch! It’s opening this weekend in LA so I’m all over this movie.

Five Minutes of Heaven – I love Liam Neeson (and Hirschbiegel ain’t bad either)

Still Walking – This movie is being compared to Tokyo Story, which is one of the few Japanese films I love. So I must see this film.

Big Fan – Patton Oswalt can act? I’m skeptical, despite all the critical praise this film is getting.

Fredo, I know! I’m really looking forward to Big Fan despite being surprised at the casting choice, because The Wrestler was one of my favorite films of 2008 and I am obsessed with obsession.

Ok, so I’ve seen 89 new films in the theater this year and my goal is to get to 100. So these are the films I found listed on Yahoo! Movies that are coming out by the end of the year that I’ll probably be seeing. Plus, I’m sure there will be other films playing at the arthouse theater that I’ll see to.

Bad Lieutenant
Broken Embraces
Mammoth
That Evening Sun
William Kunstler doc
Brothers
Up in the Air
Invictus
The Lovely Bones
A Single Man
Avatar
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

With this list alone, I’m well over 100. I’m sure there are some on this list that I won’t end up seeing and others not on this list that I will see (such as The Secret in Their Eyes, which I got tickets to see next Friday).

A Single Man (I wasn’t interested in the film until I saw that amazing trailer, now I can’t wait)
Bad Lieutenant(I admit I was very skeptical about this at first, but the reviews are glaringly positive saying Herzog keeps the film in a beautifully awkward area between mainstream and artfilm which sounds amazing.)
Mother
The White Ribbon
Broken Embraces

A Single Man and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Probably, I’m more excited about ‘Imaginarium’ for it’s visual arts but it could suck and A Single Man should definitely have a good story line.
