I'll probably see most of the ones listed in the poll, plus... some other things I'm looking forward to:

Cabin Fever

Secondhand Lions

The Rundown -- Looks very funny

House of the Dead -- Deserted Island. Zombie. 'Nuff said.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre -- Looks like a good remake.

Gothika -- A criminal psychologist awakens to find herself a patient in the very same mental institution in which she works, with no memory of the murder of her husband that she's accused of committing. As she tries to regain her memory and convince her coworkers of her innocence, a vengeful spirit uses her as an earthly pawn... which only further convinces all involved of both her guilt and her increasingly stead descent into madness and delusion.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World -- Set during the Napoleonic Wars in 1806, this is the seafaring adventuring tale of the British ship, HMS Surprise, captained by Jack Aubrey, who travels around the world with his friend and secret agent, Stephen Maturin, in an era where the open seas were the vast and wild setting for amazing adventures and high intrigue. Specifically, the premise of this movie is about the Surprise's chasing down of a French "super-frigate" called the Acheron, from the stormy waters of Cape Horn, up the South American coast to the Galapagos Islands, sparked by the Acheron's (perhaps ironic) suprise attack on the Surprise.

Highwaymen -- VIgilante looking for a serial killer

Paycheck -- An electrical engineer, Jennings who has been working on a top secret project for two years wakes up one day to discover that his employer has erased the parts of his memory concerning his top secret work. Trying to collect his "paycheck", he discovers that instead of a cash payment, he had agreed to receive a package of seemingly meaningless objects instead. Sounds interesting at least, but I want to see a trailer or some previews before going to it.

The Alamo -- We know what happens here :)

Oops, I should have included this one in the poll...

Ah, yes - the new Halle Barry movie. Forgot about that one...

Oooo, cool. I hadn't heard about this one at all. I'll have to check it out....

Looks good but Woo's US movies have had flashes of brillance that quickly fade. I am looking forward to this one, however.... :)

I didn't include it in the poll because it is a winter film. :p

Looks good but also is a winter flick. :)

The trailer for it was attached to a summer film, but I forget which one, now (Maybe League or SWAT). It looked amazingly cool, esp. if you enjoy the Hornblower series.

I am waiting for "At the Mountains of Madness" directed by Del Toro based on the book by H P Lovecraft

What!?!?! I haven't heard anything about this yet. Got any details, websites, whatnot? I'm a huge Lovecraft fan.
 



Absolutely no way will I watch Elf. Will Farrell pretty much turns me off. I'd rather take a weed-whacker (electric, not gas -- I have my limits) to my genital area. Nor am I likely to see Cat in the Hat. The previews just don't look right.

Of course, I rarely like comedy movies, so I'm not the target audience for those.

I'll be seeing Underworld, Last Samuri, and probably Once Upon a Time. The rest are either unfamiliar or not of interest.
 

I'll be seeing Once Upon a Time in Mexico, I was a huge fan of Desparado. I don't know if I'll get a chance to see Bubba Ho-tep but if at all posible I will. I don't know about Underworld yet, the more I look into it the less I like what I hear. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World sounds like it might be something I like too although this is the first I have heard about it.
