The Young Victoria. I want to hate Emily Blunt, but I don't.
Sherlock Holmes. For all the reasons any 26-year-old girl has for wanting to see it. Also, I quite liked Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. Also, I read most if not all the Sherlock Holmes stories when I was a kid. And I used to live off Baker Street when I was in London.
A Single Man. Oh, Colin Firth.
Up in the Air. Though all the fawning is giving me the Juno jitters.
An Education. Sarsgaard is good at being creepy and fey and still somehow sexy all at the same time. I imagine some might find him icky.
The Princess and the Frog. Initially thought it looked, well, not racist, but maybe not of its time? But I love that kind of animation--I'm a child of Disney, after all.
Julie & Julia. I know it's on DVD now. Still want to see it, so I can move on from that whole weird phenomenon.
Did You Hear About the Morgans? Actually looked funnier than anything either SJP or Grant has done in a while.
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. I'm thinking I won't like it, but it's a must-see for obvious reasons surely.
There are other movies, but these are the ones that I would actually try to see.
MOVIES I DO NOT WANT TO SEE:
It's Complicated because Nancy Meyers and Meryl Streep together is just too much. Old people smoking pot comedy is so boring. In fact, after I see Julie & Julia, I'm going on a self-imposed Meryl Streep strike.
Avatar. It's the blue. I'm sorry. And I have never been on the James Cameron train.
Nine. Nein. Looks self-indulgent, and I've also never really been on the Daniel Day-Lewis train either. Might watch it on DVD someday.
There are other movies I really don't want to see, ones starring chipmunks and Jeff Bridges pretending to be Mickey Rourke or something, but they're hardly worth mentioning.

In summing up, I wish I had some kind of affirmative message to leave you with. I don't. Would you take two negative messages?
-- Woody Allen
