Last year when I started my so called blog, my first post was The Top 10 Most Anticipated Films for 2009. Unfortunately some of the listed movies were move to a another screening date and other are still in production. So this year instad of making a list of movies to watch out for the whole year I'll be posting the movies that will be release every month (at least in the U.S., something we'll look forward here in the Phillippines).
*Daybreakers
Cast: Ethan Hawke, Willem Defoe, Sam Neill,Isabel Lucas
Synopsis: In the year 2019, a plague has transformed most every human into vampires. Faced with a dwindling blood supply, the fractured dominant race plots their survival; meanwhile, a researcher works with a covert band of vamps on a way to save humankind.
The film holds a 76% fresh rating from Rotten Tomatoes. From reviews I've read the movie is pretty good as some critics call it groundbreaking vampire sci-fi action.
Leap Year
Cast: Amy Adams, Matthew Goode, Kaitlin Olson, Adam Scott
Synopsis:A woman (Adams) who has an elaborate scheme to propose to her boyfriend on Leap Day, an Irish tradition which occurs every time the date February 29 rolls around, faces a major setback when bad weather threatens to derail her planned trip to Dublin. With the help of an innkeeper, however, her cross-country odyssey just might result in her getting engaged.
Book of Eli
Cast: Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, Mila Kunis, Ray Stevenson
Synopsis: In post-apocalyptic 2043, a lone hero, Eli (Denzel Washington), guards the Book of Eli, which provides knowledge that could redeem society, and the source of all their pain. The despot of a small makeshift town (Gary Oldman) plans to take possession of the book.
Youth in Revolt
Synopsis: Nick Twisp (Michael Cera) is a cynical sex-obsessed 16-year-old who, while on vacation in a trailer park, meets Sheeni Saunders (Portia Doubleday), an intellectual and beautiful girl. The only things really standing in his way are Sheeni's poetry-writing ex-boyfriend Trent (Jonathan Wright), Nick's temperamental divorced parents (Steve Buscemi and Jean Smart), and Nick's mom's boyfriends. When Nick realizes she is not interested, he comes up with an alter-ego, named François, who resembles Nick, but has blue eyes, a mustache, a deeper voice, and a player/bad boy attitude to help him with his pursuit of Sheeni. But when Francois ends up making Nick a wanted criminal, everything spins out of control.
BitchSlap
Cast: Julia Voth, Erin Cummings, America Olivo, Michael Hurst
Synopsis:At its core, "Bitch Slap" follows three bad girls (a down-and-out stripper, a drug-running killer and a corporate powerbroker) as they arrive at a remote desert hideaway to extort and steal $200 Million in diamonds from a ruthless underworld kingpin. Things quickly spin out of control as allegiances change, truths are revealed, other criminals arrive for the score, the fate of the world hangs in the balance and they are forced to confront a villain much worse than they ever expected... themselves. It's the ultimate morality tale as, one by one, they realize the whole she-bang was a set-up and one of them may not even be human...
Legion
Cast:Paul Bettany,Lucas Black,Tyrese Gibson
Synopsis:After God loses faith in humanity, the archangel Michael (Paul Bettany) is the only one standing between mankind and the apocalypse. This time using angels as the act of Biblical judgment, God's wrath descends on Earth to exterminate the world's population. In a desperate, last-chance gambit, Michael leads a group of strangers to a small New Mexico diner to protect a young waitress who may be pregnant with Christ in his second coming.
