Power of Film: Top 10 Most Anticipated Movies of 2010

Power of Film: Has stated the 10 movies they think are most anticipated for 2010. I thought I would give my opinion on whether I think they are my most anticipated . . .

10. “The Book of Eli”

I think anything with Denzel in should be on a most anticipated list.

9. “Remember Me”

Robert Pattinson . . . I guess that is all you need to say and millions of teenage girls will be running to see this movie. A romantic drama set in New York, can’t be too bad.

8. “Prince of Persia”

I am still undecided whether or not I am looking forward to this or not. Jake Gyllenhaal is a very good actor, so it maybe very good.

7. “The Green Hornet”

I love comic book adaptation movies, so yes I am looking forward to this one. Has a very strong cast as well, with Seth Rogan and Cameron Diaz among the stars.

6. “The Expendables”

Another movie with loads of stars in the cast, Sylvester Stallone infront and behind the camera means it is going to have action in it. Biggest draw for myself with this movie has to be Jason Statham !!!

5. “A Nightmare of Elm Street”

In all honesty I do not care about this movie. I am not a real fan of the horror genre/slasher movies, I just don’t get why you want to go and watch loads of blood being splattered everywhere.

4. “The Last Airbender”

Well I had not even heard of this movie until coming across this list, so I cannot really comment on it.

3. “Iron Man 2”

Now here is a movie I have been looking forward too since Iron Man finished in the cinema last year when I went to see it. Even more so when Mickey Rourke was thrown into the equation. This is going to be next year’s biggest hit, I reckon!

2. “Harry Potter and the deathly Hallows, Part 1”

Not a big Potter fan and have not seen the last two movies, so I guess if I watch them before this comes out I might venture to see it.

1. “Alice in Wonderland”

Yes, yes and yes. Definatly on my must see list for next year . . . Tim Burton is back and yes he has brought Johnny and his wife Helena back together again.

 

So as I said before this is not my list, it is my views on Power of Film’s list.

My list will be coming very soon . . . maybe even later today if you are lucky!

Julia Roberts Learned From Her Leading Men

 

JULIA ROBERTS is grateful to have shared screen time with prank-loving actors RICHARD GERE and MEL GIBSON – because their onset antics gave her early insight into the male psyche.

She tells Allure magazine, “Early on, I worked with Richard Gere and Denzel (Washington) and Dennis Quaid and Mel Gibson, and all these profoundly smart, handsome guys. I was lucky enough to be part of their lives and become friends with them, and it is interesting to understand a solid perspective of the male psyche as a person who’s non-threatening to that guy. Men are so revealing when they’re not trying to woo you, when you’re not intimidated or being flirty, when you’re just interested.”

And the movie star, who is now married to cameraman Danny Moder, admits that developing a platonic bond with the leading men helped her gain confidence around the opposite sex. Roberts was in her twenties when she first appeared alongside Gere in 1990 romantic comedy Pretty Woman, and with Gibson in their 1997 film Conspiracy Theory.
