Well, it’s a new year and the perfect excuse for everyone to compile their lists of likes, dislikes and what not, whether it be from 2011 or looking forward into 2012.

Let’s take a peek at 2012, shall we?

New movies that we’re looking forward to in 2012 include:

- The Hunger Games 3/12
- The Cabin in the Woods 4/12
- The Avengers 5/12
- The Dark Knight Rises 7/12
- The Amazing Spider-Man 7/12
- The Bourne Legacy 8/12
- G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation 8/12
- The Expendables 2 10/12
- The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey 12/12
- Django Unchained 12/12

That’s my short list of movies, that if push comes to shove, are the movies I will be catching in the movie theater.  With that said, let’s look at a bit of a lengthier list… shall we?

Coming out January 20th is Underworld: Awakening.  I love this franchise, but you haven’t seen much coverage for this new chapter of the franchise because of a  C&D request the studio sent me, that I’m over-reacting to.  So I haven’t said much on the movie since then.

The Hunger Games (3/23/11), directed by Gary Ross and starring Jennifer Lawrence, this movie is what I’m looking forward to.  The books were rather compelling.  This first chapter that comes out in this movie will be (I’m hoping) incredible.  It seems such so far.  I’m not sure how they’re going to sell the 2nd movie, if this one does well enough.  But only because there’s more of the same, so to speak.  And four movies, three books?  I presume they’re going to draw out the last book and make part 1 and part 2, like a few other movie franchises have done.

Of late, though I’m confused a bit about this newest movie still released by the studio.  There was much bru-ha-ha about it, but it was only a still from the movie trailer that was already released.

Not sure what that was about, but everyone loved having something to say or add to their collection of The Hunger Games posts.

-

Wrath of the Titans (3/30/12), directed by Jonathan Liebesman and starring Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes and Sam Worthington, all reprising their roles.

If I’m not too busy or what not, I’ll probably check out Wrath of the Titans, which is the sequel to the remake of Clash of the Titans.  Clash was fun, but nothing to write home about.  It had incredibly exciting movie trailers that built a lot of excitement, but the trailers, as they were designed, seemed more thrilling than the movie was.

But I’ll probably catch this at the movie theater.

Joss Whedon has a few movies coming out this year.

Whedon announced his Much Ado About Nothing, but not sure when that’s coming out in 2012.

His much delayed twist on the horror thriller, The Cabin in the Woods, is coming out on Friday, April 13th.
