Rambo - January 25
Sylvester Stallone is at it again; like his 2006 "Rocky Balboa" the final chapter in the series, which Stallone directed along with three other "Rocky" pictures (II, III, and IV.) Falling to mixed reviews "Rocky Balboa" was considered a box office bust. But to loyal fans, it was a better send off for the underdog compared to "Rocky V."With the upcoming "Rambo" picture, Stallone sits in double threat chair as the director and lead actor. To conclude the story of John Rambo. The Vietnam veteran and Hollywood's original super-soldier is living a life of tranquility in the jungles of Thailand, Rambo is quickly thrust back into action when a group of human rights activists are captured by the Burmese army and being held hostage.
It's now up to Rambo to "Live for nothing. Or die for something,"
Clover Field - January 18
The mystery J.J. Abrams production is expected to bring new life into the monster movie genre.Being told from the point of view ("Blair Witch" style of camera work) of five friends who were supposed to be celebrating their friends final day in the States before a job transfer to Japan.
But little did they know what fate has in store for them this night.
A monster is terrorizing through the streets of New York and no one can stop it.
What is this monster? No one knows. But one thing is for sure: We will find out in a very dramatic fashion.

I fully expect Rambo to be little more than an overblown spectacle with way too many ridiculous action pieces, sort of like Live Free or Die Hard. I have no intention whatsoever of viewing it (similarly, I am still trying to decide if I want to see the new Indiana Jones, or if I'm going to start boycotting these 20-year removed sequels on principle).
Cloverfield could go either way, but the Blair Witch style of doing things worries me, because for whatever hype that movie had, it blew. Cloverfield seems to have a similar hype machine going for it, with the exception that they're not even trying to pretend that it might be real. Also, I have a feeling that some of the more maddening stringing-alongs of Lost were Abrams' doing, seeing as how the show has seriously been building momentum (and forthcoming with actual answers, satisfying or no) since he left. I fear it may be a sort of "Blair Witch with no resolution whatsoever" which is worrying.

Yeah, I have a feeling Rambo will be pretty ridiculous too. I'll still see it, just like Indiana Jones 4, mainly due to my curiosity towards how bad they may turn out to be.
As far as Cloverfield goes. I have no expectations of it. As far as I'm concerned the monster could end up being a giant Rosie O'Donnell and I'll still see it.
