Watchmen (March 6)
Up (May 22)
A Christmas Carol (November 6)

X-Men: Wolverine (May 1)
Terminator: Salvation (May 22)
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (June 26)
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (July 17)

These are currently unscheduled, though I know I'll want to see them:

I rarely go to the theater anymore, but I plan to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Up, and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

I may see more in the theaters, I'm not sure right now.

I think I'm not gonna go to the movies often next year, I've installed a 7.1 surround system, and I'm expecting my new HD projector to arrive about a couple of months later along with a 36" screen, so I'm defenitly gonna spend more on Blurays next year and less on going to the movies.

But I'm defenitly gonna watch most of the movies that are coming out on 3D :
- Toy Story
- Up
- Avatar
- Monsters Vs. Aliens
- A Christmas Carol

As well as :
-Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince
-The Princess & the Frog
-Sherlock Holmes

And anything that looks like it might get an Oscar.

Well after the disaster that was Speed Racer, I've pretty much sworn off all Japanese cartoon to live action adaptations. :P Also, I don't think Dragonball is gonna be very high on most people's radar..... :|

Aww, I loved the live-action Speed Racer! Of course, no one else in the family did...

Just going by the trailer, it already looks terrible in my opinion. I haven't watched Speed Racer either, but it looks better than Dragonball.

You mean Dragonball Evolution as it is now called.

I'm forgetting it because the idea of a 2 hour movie based on Dragonball makes me want to vomit. A mini-series I could see being decent, but a stand alone movie based on the series just cannot work.

The only two I can think of that I really want to see are:

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

and

(especially)

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
But the thing that makes Woody special, is he'll never give up on you... ever. He'll be there for you, no matter what.

I'm not even a huge Dragonball fan and I'm excited over it, I grew up with it regardless. Plus Emmy Rossum!

I never saw Speed Racer, and that I actually am a big fan of; it was easy to tell how bad it would be.
On the other hand I haven't seen a trailer for Dragonball, I should look at it soon.
