Movies!
Haven't even heard of most of these, so it's hard to say. How the heck are they making Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs into a movie? I suppose just like they did with those Dr. Seuss books... ugh. Kids books that are that short can maybe be made into a short movie (like the TV cartoon, 30-minute classic of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas), but not an actual feature.
I'll probably see Harry Potter, since they've been doing a fairly decent job on those movies. Maybe Sherlock Holmes at some point... seems like Robert Downey Jr. might be pulling off that part fairly well also.
Guide: Tanking, Wall of Fire Style (Updated for I19!), and the Four Rules of Tanking

As a fan of the source material, it's pretty ridiculous. Basically they throw in a Mad Science angle that explains the food rain. Then they just use images from the book as big set piece scenes.
That's a huge list, Viv... I need to examine it first, but I'm definitely seeing Transformers: The Suckage, G.I. Joe: The Abomination, and I want to see District 9, too... that looks cool. Oh, and Nine too... didn't see that on the list.
Agua Man lvl 48 Water/Electric Blaster
"To die hating NCSoft for shutting down City of Heroes, that was Freedom."
Public Enemies, Ice Age 3, Harry Potter 6, Inglourious Basterds, GI Joe, and Sherlock Holmes sound interesting to me, so I'll probably pay attention when they come out on cable next yet. Little iffy on the Time Traveller's Wife, based on the little synopsis off of IMDB.
As for 'oh god no'... Alvin/Chipmunks 2, Saw 6.. A Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey? Well that can't be good...
The only one I'd really kind of like to see in a theater maybe is 2012. There were a few pics that looked kind of cool.

-Goal for 2011: Survive, stay alive, and continue to thrive.
Apart from Inglourious Basterds, I don't think there's anything I'm looking forward to yet this year.
There's a few movies that look interesting, but I'll wait until they hit DVD: Public Enemies, Blood: The Last Vampire, Sherlock Holmes and The Road.
Arc# 92382 -- "The S.P.I.D.E.R. and the Tyrant" -- Ninjas! Robots! Praetorians! It's totally epic! Play it now!
Arc # 316340 -- "Husk" -- Azuria loses something, a young woman harbors a dark secret, and the fate of the world is in your hands.

There's my list of "want to sees".
Hoping to see on IMAX:
Transformers (low expectations, but I figure the fx will look decent on IMAX)
Potter - I have enjoyed the books and the movies
The other stuff... Maybe GI Joe, and Nine in the theater. Everything else either Netflix or not at all.
I can't I'm at all excited about anything on this list.
I'll likely watch the following movies in the theatres: Public Enemies, Harry Pottter, Blood, GI Joe, and Sherlock Holmes.
Everything else can wait until it falls in the Wal-mart clearance bargin bin.
EDIT: It's sad when televisions shoew hold greater promise than Hollywood movies
Yeah, I figured they latched on to that one because of all the crazy special effect things they could do with it, like the other recent Dr. Seuss movies. *sighs* G and PG movies are moneymakers because families can take their kids to them, so they'll just keep making these things. Bruce Campbell will probably be his usual entertaining self in it, but that doesn't overcome my disgust with the premise.
Bah, looking at this list, it makes me depressed. Used to be there were a decent amount of movies every summer (let alone a year) that I wanted to go to, but I'm feeling kind of meh for yet another year... been the case for a long while now.

Well, Cloudy with a Chance is animated, so at least it won't like as horrific as The Cat in the Hat, say...

Well, this may actually not suck [censored]. Remember, he can actually act sometimes, when a brazillion dollars isn't being dangled before his nose to do 'anything'... witness 'The Truman Show' and 'Man in the Moon'...
The guy has chops, it's just about whether he is willing to simmer down and use them....
