Ten Movies to Watch Out For In 2012

The Amazing Spider-Man



After the disaster that was the last Spider-Man movie, we are getting a re-make of the series. Not sure exactly why they had to go to re-make route instead of just making a new movie. But regardless, what I have seen from Amazing Spider-Man has been all good. Andrew Garfield seems like he will be a decent Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Along with Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy and finally getting the Lizard as the villain. Amazing seems like will be a welcome addition to the Spider-Man franchise and a hopefully a good start in the right direction.

Knowing Is Half The Battle

The Spot News: G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation Superbowl Trailer

Nice shot of Cobra Commanders new look and Firefly too. But is seems the focus for the new movie is on Dwayne Johnson/The Rock. Or they are using him to get butts in seats.

Assemble!!

The Spot News: Avengers Superbowl Trailer

Here is an extended version of the Superbowl trailer for The Avengers movie. And oh look those "secret" baddies that help Loki are somewhat revealed. Now they do look a bit like Skrulls and they are blue like the Kree, yet they are none of the above. Seems we might have some other force working with Loki. Maybe frost giants or some other beings from the Nine Realms?

Prometheus



What is there to say why this movie is on my To Watch List of 2012?
You have a movie that is supposed to be the prequel of the Alien franchise. Yet also not a prequel, depending on where you read or what you hear. Then there is the possibility of seeing something similar to the Alien creatures along with the creatures that are responsible for them the Space Jockeys. Then you add in the fact that Ridley Scott directing a great looking cast. So then you mix all that up and what you get is a movie that is highly anticipated.

10 Movies to Watch in 2012: Rock of Ages

By: Robert Acosta

I'm a sucker for musicals. Just going to put that out there now. Rent, Phantom of the Opera, Hairspray, High School Musical, Moulin Rouge, all of that stuff! It's hard not to like em really, catchy music is good music. So after watching the trailer for Rock of Ages, I knew it would definitely be in my top 10 movies to watch this year. Especially when I heard that mash up of "We're not gonna take it" and "We Built This City", I was in. Bolstering a cast of veterans, this has the making of a really fun Summer movie.

Snow White and The Huntsman

A re-imagining of a classic fairy tale on my list?

Yes.

Snow White and The Huntsman sounded to me like it will be a mess of a movie. For one it was going against another Snow White movie, fighting for release and an audience. And it also stars Kristen Stewart...

So you see my reluctance with the movie. But after seeing the trailer, I was kind of surprised. It looked really great. Hell seeing the way they handled the Mirror was amazing. The action and fights. Hell look at the evil queen played by Charlize Theron, lovely.

It will not be a run of the mill take on Snow White. It looks like it will be a surprise hit.
