On my DaVinci Code DVD, there are previews for Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith,
and All the Kings Men with Sean Penn, both of which look awesome!

any thoughts anyone? the first one is based on a true story, Im not sure about the second one but it looks based on truth if not 100% true...

I would love to see Pursuit of Happyness.... looks like an awesome story.

Sean Penn? uggghhhhh.... I can't take that guy.

I think Sean Penn is an awesome actor, I LOVED him in Dead Man Walking...

Unfortunately All The King's Men was widely panned by the critics.

I never listen to critics

How about me then? All The King's Men is a big disappointment considering the talent involved.
It's also a remake of an Oscar-winning film from 1949. I would suggest seeking that out before watching the dull Sean Penn version.

I have to admit I've never heard of either version!

I want to see several movies for the first time in a long time! Here's my list:

Dreamgirls

Pursuit of Happyness

The Good Sheperd (about the start of the CIA, directed by DeNiro)

Borat (I have yet to hear from someone who didn't find it hilarious)

The Departed (A Scorcese movie about the mob? I'm in)

Flags of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo Jima

For Your Consideration (Christopher Guest movie? I'm in)

The Holiday (looks like a light fun movie)

Night at the Museum (I think this looks fantastic!)

Stranger Than Fiction (Will Farrell finds out that his life is being narrated - I've heard good things)

We Are Marshall (Seems really inspirational. Oh, and McConaughey-hey-hey's in it.)

Of course, most likely these will wait until the DVD release, since I rarely go to the movies.

No time, it's expensive and hubby hates to go. Speaking of DVD's, I recently watched:

Talladega Nights - So stupid, so friggin' funny. I've been quoting random lines for days now.

Little Miss Sunshine - Cute, bitter, funny, sad, uplifting and depressing all at the same time. I recommend it, if only for the dance at the end.

Click - I was really impressed with this movie. I thought it would be the typical silly Adam Sandler movie (nothing wrong with those, btw.) But it was more. It actually reminded me of It's a Wonderful Life. I almost cried more than once.

the movie I am REALLY on pins and needles for is:

The World's End (the third installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean series)

I found a pic on Wikipedia (see attachment)

^ When is it set to be released?

I really really want to see Pursuit of Happyness, I hoped to in New Mexico but never had the time...so I'm going to have to see it sometime after payday...if I wasn't working on New Year's Day that'd be perfect...but alas I'll be working.

Other than that the only thing I really want to see in theaters is The Holiday...

I watched Pursuit of Happyness get filmed all year in SF. They shut downtown down every weekend and brought in old MUNI buses and cars, etc. And I saw Will Smith once outside the BofA building where he did his internship. Looking forward to seeing it.

There is nothing out right now that I want to see and the only upcoming flick that I'm really looking forward to is Pixar's Ratatouille, but it doesn't come out until late June.

Saw it. Loved it (especially the random screaming slugs). Can't wait for the DVD.

Gah..I have to see it...the trailer alone had me dying (the slugs mostly) but I still haven't seen it...I'm waiting for the DVD. Still my sister and nephew gave it rave reviews so I'll definitely be picking it up...
