Some movies radiate their awesomeness rearward in time as well as forwards . You much have memories of enjoying films that have n’t descend out yet , the anticipation is so heavy . Other movies are so horrible , the botheration trip back in metre and becomes your puerility trauma . Here are the 2008 motion-picture show that are already thrilling and appall us :
Movies we ’re looking forrard to :
The Signal ( Feb. 22 ) . A unearthly signaling necessitate over TVs , radio and mobile phone telephone set , and make everybody lose their shit . The tagline is “ Do you have the disturbed ? ” and it ’s become our new stock greeting . Thebuzzabout this horror / SF hybrid from Sundance was somewhat exciting . part into three segments , with three different conductor , the story of the great unwashed driven berzerk by mass communication include vote down sprees and demented sex . In the neopolis of Terminus City .
Outlander ( early 2008 ) . Okay . Alien versus Vikings . If that does n’t tickle pink you , your eye is made of muck . In a nutshell , Jim Caviezel ( Passion of the Christ ) is an unknown whose starship crashes in ancient Norway . He soon understand the crash had another survivor , a rampaging ogre call the Moorwen . So Caviezel has to convince the feuding Viking clans to work together to destroy the good . It ’s like Beowulf , with space gunslinger .
The Incredible Hulk ( June 13 ) . Ang Lee has lowered our expectation to the point where any Hulk motion picture that does n’t feature mutant poodle will thrill us . But it also sounds as though this rendering will adhere to demon - flick basics . The Hulk ’s daddy issues will be in the background where they belong to . And Edward Norton render good valet - with - monster - inside , judging from American History X.
The Dark Knight ( July 18 ) . Batman Begins was n’t perfect ( Ra ’s Al Ghul was a boring villain ) but it did have the right pulpy feel . And Knight could be the rare sequel that ameliorate on the original , thanks to Heath Ledger ’s angry - nerd Joker . The viral Gotham Timessite , with details on the crime war , overcrowded mental initiation and families fly Gotham , makes us palpate director Christopher Nolan ’s Gotham is a existent place , not just a fantasy background .
CJ7 ( Jan. 31 ) . Stephen Chow isveeringinto science fiction after a string of kung - fu hit . Thisstoryof a semi - homeless guy who scavenges a toy dog for his Logos ( act as by a girl ) will credibly drop with sentimentality , but it also appear inventive and crazy as hell . The junkyard toy turns out to be an alien bounder , which could kick Wall - E ’s AS in a prettiness contest . And then the son / young woman gets channel into space , and ( judging from the trailer ) thing get kind of trippy .

moving-picture show we ’re cautiously optimistic about :
Iron Man ( May 2 ) . The suit of clothes expect coolheaded . We ’re glad they ’re keeping the storyline of Tony Stark being a weapon - mongering asshole who learns a lesson . But it also looks seriously cartoony , and it ’s from the managing director of Elf and Zathura .
Franklyn ( strange ) . The sequences of Ryan Philippe in his spooky mask in the urban center of gaga religious belief voice awesome . The other stuff , about multitude in the here and now get worked up crises , sounds less awesome and more IFC - ish . But we trust manager Gerald Morrow when he says all three storylines finally come together somehow .
Death Race ( Sept. 26 ) . A super - prizewinning race car ( Jason Statham ) is convicted of a crime he did n’t give . His only hope is to race cross - country in a pull a fast one on out auto with rocket catapult and shit , for the entertainment of the multitudes . Another remaking , plus another flick by Paul W.S. Anderson ( Mortal Kombat ) . It ’ll probably be a shamed delight .
Cloverfield ( Jan. 18 ) Better to mean of this as a chintzy goliath movie with an artsy twist ( the handheld video cameras ) than to work up it up as a masterpiece in the qualification . The hand from Drew ( Buffy , Alias ) Goddard will probably have some clever bits . And if Cloverfield rolls in enough clover , it could usher in a whole crazy newfangled era of blue - fi goliath movies .
fastness Racer ( May 9 ) . It ’ll be a merriment ride , judge from thetrailer . But the Wachowskis are sticking too secretive to the germ material ’s kiddie sketch origin . And we ’re scared we ’ll have weird aspiration about John Goodman ’s mustache after seeing this cinema .

Movies we ’re dreading in depth of our marrow :
Star Trek ( Dec. 25 ) We ’ve alreadyexplainedour reasons why Star Trek should stay dead in general . But this moving-picture show , in particular , sound horrendous . We lost all Bob Hope when they announced Leonard Nimoy is arrive back as Spock . That means instead of a pure reboot , it has to be some variety of persistence - heavy restart . They ’ll have to utilize either sentence travel or flashback to justify Nimoy . But also , did n’t we already go back to the beginning with the TV show endeavour ? We ’re auspicate a very expensive dud that will make back its money oversea .

The Day The Earth Stood Still ( Dec. 12 ) The words “ Keanu Reeves as Klaatu ” freeze our blood . Keanu ’s biggest problem is his monotone , stoner delivery , so having him recreate a super - bland noncitizen might not be the best estimate . But also , the original Earth Stood Still was such a ware of Cold War anxieties that a remake will just feel like a nostalgia trip-up .
Babylon A.D. ( Aug. 29 ) . We love Vin Diesel and Michelle Yeoh , but this is just fathom more and more like a trainwreck . It had a troubled shooting , with delays , budget overruns and epic battles between Diesel and director Matthieu Kassovitz . Add in the fact that Kassovitz ’s previous film , Gothika , was universally panned . And the U.S. cut of Babylon will be30 minutes shorterthan the European release , so there ’s venture our version may not even make sense .
Starship Dave ( May 30 ) . Pluto Nash was n’t enough . Eddie Murphy has to asterisk in another kiddie SF comedy . And this one has a premiss designed to chair to more slapstick than three Norbits put together . A chemical group of tiny aliens led by Murphy travel to Earth in a spaceship disguised as a human being ( Murphy again ) , and they ensure him remotely . It sounds like an acid - induced remake of Steve Martin ’s All Of Me .
Hancock ( July 2 ) . Thetrailerconfirmed our worst concern . After a strand of serious persona , Will Smith is going to dust off his comedy chop to play a lame drunken superhero who falls for his image adviser ’s wife . There are two chief problems mighty off the bat : Will Smith has done well in comedies where he ’s the straight man ( Men In Black ) , but he ’s not so groovy at playing the saphead . And superhero comedies like My Super Ex - Girlfriend usually do n’t have enough respect for the material to be funny .
