We finally have gotten through the “best ofs” and are looking forward to what 2010 has to offer. Below are some of the films (and their trailers) that we are looking forward to. Since we’ve inundated you with a lot of text recently, I figured I’d let the trailers for these films do the talking.

Paul
Release Date: 2010
Starring: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Seth Rogen, Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig
Director: Greg Mottola (Superbad)
No Trailer Yet, So Here’s The Plot: Two British comic-book nerds (Frost and Pegg) stumble into Area 51 after visiting Comic Con. There they encounter and end up befriend an alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen). Written by Pegg and Frost and loaded with an all-star comedic line-up, this should be a top film in 2010.

Looking forward to Robin Hood. I’ve seen several people play this role; Errol Flynn, Richard Green etc. but Crowe is a different animal.
Surprised they haven’t come up with an Oceans 14 or one of the several new Bourne books written by Lustbader.
