The Megaphone : A Debate Blog

Don’t worry this isn’t going to be a list of 2008 films, it’s going to be like 5 films I’m excited about which are going to be released in 2008.

So I don’t know why, but there hasn’t been a film I’ve wanted to see in the cinema for ages… but all of a sudden there are loads of films I want to see. This post is going to be a trailerfest by the way.

Be Kind Rewind

I will start with the film I am most excited of all about. It is the release of Be Kind Rewind which comes out on the 22nd February. As you may know I have a man crush on Michel Gondry, so I am always excited about anything he does… excluding like going to the shops, having a wee… you know what I mean.

Juno

I am also very excited about Juno, which I have been avoiding watching on a bootlegged DVD which is flying around in here in favour of the big screen experience. I could have gone to see it for free with SeeFilmFirst, but I was busy last night grrr.

Jumper

I am also excited about Jumper (which is not about those ones your gran knits for Christmas). I am not just excited about this because Rachel Bilson appears to make an appearance in her brassiere (which is obviously included in the trailer), but it also includes people with superpowers and other geekery.

Cloverfield

Then of course there is Cloverfield which comes out here today and is produced by JJ “Lost” Abrams. I will be venturing out to see this sucker. The problem might be that it has been massively (over?) hyped and I hope it isn’t a let down. I have heard reports that the whole film is ace, but the end is poor. Please don’t tell me what happens if you have already seen it.

No Country For Old Men

I also want to see No Country For Old Men. I am a big fan of The Coen Brothers. This has already been released, but only in those cinemas that show good films (of which there are none anywhere near me).

And More…

I will definitely have to wait for the DVD release of Paranoid Park, which also looks good. And Forgetting Sarah Marshall by Judd Apatow of Knocked up and Superbad fame.

Also coming out will be loads of sequels and prequels and stuff, like the new James Bond film, The Dark Knight (with Heath Ledger… like you didn’t know) and even a new Indiana Jones film. As well as Harry Potter and Rambo.

So… which 2008 films are you looking forward to? Also, have you seen any good films already this year?
