I Want To See These Things.

All the films ever? Yeah, the titles a lie. Firstly, it's only films I've seen in 2012, and secondly it's only covering the past and the present. The word 'Ever' is suppose to cover the future as well. This post is here to address that very issue. The rest of 2012 is filled with lots of exciting-looking films that I intend to see, as well as plenty of dross that I'll probably end up watch as well. This is a look at what I'm genuinely looking forward to in the remained of this year. In no particular order.

The Dark Knight Rises
OK, when I said 'No particular order', I lied. The Dark Knight Rises is, as it is with just about every other person on the planet, the film I'm most looking forward to. While, again, I'm not alone in thinking this, I'd perhaps rather had seen a different choice of villains, Christopher Nolan has not put a foot wrong in his entire movie-making career to date and, as such, I have faith in him to deliver an excellent film. The only problem? As the follow-up to what is undoubtedly the greatest superhero movie of all-time and one of the best films ever, end of, there's absolutely no way this can meet the high expectations placed upon it. Isn't there, Nolan...?

Looper
I like Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I don't mind Bruce Willis. But, more than that, I love ideas-led films. If a director has an interesting thought for a plotline, I want to see it, and Looper looks to be one of the boldest, most original films since Inception graced us with its also-starring-Gordon-Levitt-ness. The superb trailer explains a bizarre concept that I'm simply excited to see in full. And, even if there is no more to the film than the ideas in the trailer, I'm glad people are still getting their quirkier ideas made in today's film-by-committee era.



Wreck-It Ralph
Scott Pilgrim aside, the world is desperate short on game-literate movies. While there are plenty of attempts to convey video games in the cinematic landscape, the majority seem to be written by people with no obvious understanding of games, Edgar Wright's effort the proud exception. Not content with being a film about games, Wreck-It Ralph looks to set to become only second film to understand video games. The use of the likes of Bowser, Blinky, Eggman and Zangreif as well as an excellent Q*Bert gag that they put in the trailer, I'm holding out hope that this'll be more than your standard animated nonsense, and essentially be a gaming's equivelent of Toy Story.

Skyfall
It's the new 007 film. I don't really need to say more, do I?











Brave
If you forced me to select my top 10 films of all-time, it wouldn't be that outside a bet that a good 9 of the 10 would be Pixar films. As a result, it's utterly impossible to not look forward to the new picture from the wittiest company in the digital animation business. (I've had to craftily work my way round being able to include Aardman) This one's also set in Scotland, and I also like Scotland. Here's hoping they say that any trolls or monsters of any kind come from Glasgow, because it'd be funny.


The Amazing Spider-Man
While I did like Spider-Man 2, Sam Raimi's trilogy of Spidey films was really rather off- Toby MacGuire was too miserable, the tone was too downbeat and the colours too drained. With him now off doing Bond and that, (500) Days of Summer (Which I really liked) director Marc Webb, who I can presume only got it because of his name, steps in to make a far more fun-looking Spider-Man film. Andrew Garfield looks a massive improvement from misery McGuire, wisecracking and leaping around with rather nice hair. I'm really looking forward to this one coming out in a months time.


While there are other things I'm looking forward to watching, (Whisper it, but I'm all set to book my tickets to see Ice Age 4) there was nothing else I fancied writing a paragraph on (Well, that really showed with the Bond one, didn't it?) and as such I'm ending it there because this is my text document, and I'll end it when I want to, thank you very
