Upcoming... Movies!

EDIT: The titles of the movies are actually links, if you wanted to see the previews.

I actually have every intention of using this blog to give reviews of movies I watch, in addition to other more "personal" entries. I have already watched a movie or two since I decided that this was something I wished to do. However, I am beginning to realize that watching a movie for "pleasure" and watching a movie to "review" it are two entirely different things. That being said, it will take some time before I even trust my own feelings about movies... That may seem like a strange thing, but I think I will arrive at that point shortly.

So, until I do begin reviewing movies I thought I would post some links to some movies that I am anticipating watching. Some of these movies are already out in select markets, others are arriving in theaters shortly. I am also including some links to some movies that I may never watch, but intrigued me. Without any more rambling and in no particular order...
