Top Films I am looking forward to in 2012

The Dark Knight Rises  
Third and final chapter in Christopher Nolan's epic trilogy. Tom Hardy looks real tough as Bane, glad he's not a Joker substitute. Anne Hathaway will make a real sexy Catwoman. I can't wait to see how it all ends. Will it be a happy ending? Or tragic?

Dark Shadows 

This looks like my perfect film, gothic comedy about a vampire and a dysfunctional family. Tim Burton is directing, Johnny Depp plays the vampire, Eva Green plays a sexy witch.

Snow White & The Huntsman 

They've taken a now boring fairytale and retelling it kind of in the style of Lord of the Rings and Pan's Labyrinth. Charlize Theron is lovely and makes a real evil queen. Kristen Stewart is an interesting choice for Snow White, now finished with Twilight, she's taking a challenging role and doing an English accent.

Prometheus 

Apparently a prequel to Alien, both directed by Ridley Scott, or at least set in the same universe.Great choice of cast: Noomi Rapace (the original Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) is the lead, Michael Fassbender is an android, also joining Idris Elba and Charlize Theron (playing the villain again? apparently).

Skyfall 

Third Daniel Craig Bond film, many were disappointed with the last this one which suffered due to being caught in the writer's strike. This has a full script written. Sam Mendes is a great director (American Beauty). I like the choice of Bond girls, Berenice Marlohe and Naomie Harris.

Cabin in the Woods

Looks like a sci-fi horror parody with a mystery story. Produced by Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The Avengers 

A film that has been built-up with 5 films prior the characters Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow and Hawk Eye team up. Under the direction of Joss Whedon, perfect director he knows how to do ensembles.


Looper
Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a hit-man who kills people who are sent from the future. His next target is an older version of himself played by Bruce Willis.
