Fall Movies I Can’t Wait To See…

Body of Lies
Leonardo DiCaprio…Leonardo DiCaprio…Leonardo DiCaprio. Did I mention that Leonardo DiCaprio was in the movie. Really, those are the only two words I need to hear and I am immediately hooked. This film also happens to co-star Russell Crowe and involves international espionage, terrorism and crooked FBI agents (all pluses in my book). Besides, it stars Leonardo DiCaprio.

Burn After Reading
George Clooney. Brad Pitt. John Malkovich. Tilda Swinton. Frances McDormand. The Coen Brothers. Enough said.

W.
A look at the life of our 43rd president before he became president as told by Oliver Stone. This will be interesting, it will be controversial, but it will be good. From the looks of it the cast is dead on. I am especially impressed with the casting of Elizabeth Banks as Laura Bush. I never would have thought it, but seeing the preview Banks is dead-on. I just hope that the actors in the movie truly act instead of trying to do cheesy impersonations.

Four Christmases
Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon team up for this romantic comedy. I feel like we haven’t see Reese in a romantic comedy in awhile and I am definitely looking forward to her return, and I’m excited to see her teamed up with Vince Vaughn. Reese and Vince play a couple who are forced to spend the holidays with each of their divorced parents. Sounds like a hoot already. Is it just me, or do comedies that have holiday themes seem to be funnier than the rest?

Yes Man
Jim Carrey. Comedy. I’ve been waiting for the two to reunite, and from the looks of the movie trailer I will not be disappointed. In the film Carrey decides to embrace live fully and simply say yes (after years of saying no) to any and all propositions and invites. I have a feeling this will be a comedic gem with a heart of gold. Carrey hasn’t made a live-action comedy film since 2005’s Fun with Dick and Jane, which, to say the least, was not all that funny. This film should re-establish Jim Carrey as the King of Comedy.

The Curios Case of Benjamin Button
Brad Pitt plays the title character that has a “curious” and rare condition. He ages backwards. This movie appears to have a fantastic plot and with a supporting cast that includes Academy Award Winners Tilda Swinton and Cate Blanchett the film should be incredible. I am prepared to bring Kleenex.
