I have been waiting for these two movies for so so so so long. I have to catch these in the theatres. Their trailers were highly sought after, and created much fanfare when they finally arrived.
1. The Avengers
I can’t remember when I’ve started waiting impatiently for this. Perhaps since we watched Thor, and caught a very very brief preview of the Avengers. The idea of putting all those swoon-worthy (I know, not the point) superheroes all together just sounds crazily marvellous. The action-packed scenes, the idea of the good triumphing the evil with somewhat of a (hopefully) decent plot line will make that movie a entertaining evening.
2. The Hunger Games
The book was incredible. I couldn’t put it down. I went through all three books in one shot, at one go and probably slept very little in between those three books. I will probably read it again before the movie, but I can’t wait to watch the cast live in those characters, especially Katniss and Peta (of course, how typical). They may have been young adult books, but the material is dark. I started paying really close attention to the movie when they slowly revealed the casting. Everybody had their own interpretation and ideas of how the characters should be casted, but so far the cast looks very promising. Absolutely can’t wait.
Of notable mention, I am also fairly interested in the following. Of course, not with as much wide-eyed anticipation as the earlier two, but with sufficient excitement and interest:
3. Snow White and the Huntsman
4. The Hobbit
5. The Dark Knight rises
I realised all my highly anticipated movies are generally not very female oriented movies. However, romantic comedies just don’t seem to generate as much fan fare as highly budgeted action packed blockbusters with big names in them. We can only wait and see how these movies turn out, and if they live up to expectations.
Can’t wait for 2012 to come in on the entertainment front!
On a darker note: 6 more days to the impending start of school. Falls back into gloom.
