No need to beat around the bush…let’s start counting down the 20 Fall/Winter movies that I’m most excited about…

20. City of Ember - Bill Murray starring in a sci-fi/fantasy flick? Count me in. I love apocalyptic stories (this won’t be the only one in this preview) series, and the book seems to have a strong following. Although the trailer and release date kind of give me that Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow vibe.

19. Defiance - Yes, I’m aware that this is the heavy-handed Zwickster. But I’m also a huge, huge Daniel Craig fan. The minute I saw Layer Cake I wanted him to be Bond. He’s great in Munich, too. Then again, I’m worried that this is just going to be a shiny, overdone Hollywood version of Come and See. This is ranked here solely because of Craig.

18. The Brothers Bloom - Readers of this blog will know how much I loved Rian Johnson’s Brick, and this was his sophomore effort. I wanted to rank it higher, but I’m afraid he’s going to pull a Richard Kelly and go all Southland Tales on us. Rachel Weisz does it for me, though. I’m not gonna lie. I’m also an Adrien Brody fan.

17. Blindness - Gael García Bernal is the man, so I’m stoked that he’s the villain. I’m also just really intrigued by both the rest of the cast and the subject matter. What if you were the only person who could see in a society gone blind? Even though it bombed at Cannes, I’m going to give it a shot because it’s being re-cut  and, more importantly, I loved Fernando Meirelles’ City of God.

16. Miracle At St. Anna - I loved Spike Lee’s Inside Man so much that I owe it to him to see this movie no matter what. I’m also interested in the story. Seems like a pet project for Spike, and I generally trust his taste. Do the Right Thing is one of my favorite movies, however, so I might be biased.
