From the trailers we've seen Iron Man 2 and Clash of the Titans both look good, and I think Hot Tub Time Machine might be worth a giggle...Cusack is eminently watchable generally.
As to the rest of it... hmm.. Daybreakers will either be good or a joke.. seen the "ironic" website advertising for the film then ?. Should piss all over Twilight anyway.
Wolfman looks good.... guess Toy Story 3 will be good for the bairns... bit unsure as to the Predator remake/reimagining... think Freddie and the whole Elm Street franchise might have been better off being left to die, but.. you never know.

Both Iron Man 2 and The Wolfman are high on my "to see" list,and of course I'll take my kids to see Toy Story 3.
As for the rest,Daybreakers is a film I will be going to see,however I am not expecting much,if it turns out to be good I'll be pleasently surprised.
Not to interested in the Predator/Elm street "reimaginings"..sometimes films should just be left alone.
I'm also looking forward to the latest George A. Romero "Dead" instalment and watching for the release of "World War Z"
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
Iron Man 2 is top of my to see list, I'd love to see Clash of the Titans, Predators, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Harry Potter 7 part 1, Alice in Wonderland and Jonah Hex, but its rare I manage to get to more than two films a year with my other half, so likely I'll have to cherry pick the best looking ones as they arrive.
Also a lot of kiddy films to take the little ones to see this year, How to Train your Dragon looks really good, as does Toy Story 3, Voyage of the Dawn Trader, and Rapunzel (although the later has been tied up tighter than a GW press release, as I've not seen much other than concept shots so far.)

I just noticed that a Remake of George A. Romeros' "The Crazies" is on the upcoming films list.
I enjoyed the original (of course) and will see the remake,but as with any Romero remake I'll be prepared to hate it.

Iron Man 2 is the only film I am somewhat excited for although I've got low expectations since sequels generally suck and I don't see that film crew coming close to the entertainment found in "The Dark Knight" or even "Spider Man 2". But at least with Sam Jackson they're definitely on the right track
It seems like next year's blockbusters are going with a more mythological, sword-and-board kind of theme as opposed to the scifi smorgasbord we had in 2009. Right now I've got very low expectations for Clash of the Titans, Prince of Persia, and Robin Hood mostly because the last kind of these movies that I really enjoyed were released years ago namely LOTR and Gladiator.
Solomon Kane looks good. I enjoyed the remake of the original Friday the 13th and both Halloweens were good. Rob Zombie has a certain "touch". For being a dead lady his wife looked good.
Who's behind the reimagining of Nightmare? I was actually shocked when I saw the man who directed Transformers also directed the Texas Chainsaw remake. Odd tossing og genres there.
--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

Johan Hex I hope is good...but, despite the actor seeming to nail the look it has been proven by sciencists * that the mere rpesence of Megan Fox in a movie can in fact make it 13.45% less enjoyable outside of cheesecake shots.
* More or less. With mucho emphasis on the less aspect here.

I'm definitely looking forward to 2010 movies. Let's see...
Iron Man 2
Toy Story 3
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Even if the story is a bit off from the game, the fact that it's a Bruckheimer/Disney film seems promising)
Alice in Wonderland
Clash of the Titans
The Last Airbender
How to Train Your Dragon (Meh, I'm a sucker for that type of animation. Maybe it'll be good...)
Resident Evil: Afterlife (God, I'm a sucker for that movie series...)
Legion
Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (I know, based on a kids book, but it seems like they're doing better with that than they did with Vampire's Assistant)

With regards to the A Team movie, from Aint it cool news...
Hi Harry, if you choose to use this, you can call me HazMatt.
Man, am I on the jazz now! As a movie theatre projectionist, I get the upcoming weekend's trailer hard drive on Monday. I went to ingest that bad boy today, and what did I spy? The first official trailer for The A-Team! It's mere presence surprised me, but the trailers 1:41 run time had me salivating. Just enough time time to watch it twice before we had to start seating for Avatar. Enough to satisfy my craving, but not enough to memorize everything and give you a full rundown. What I do remember...
Starts off as you'd expect, with just a hint of the theme music and it's variation of the classic voiceover (Apparently they were arrested one year ago for a crime they didn't commit), which runs throughout the trailer. We see Hannibal in his colonel uniform attending a military funeral. Next we get quick shots of the team breaking out of a prison bus and then Hannibal meeting with Face on a beach. Some footage of fast cars and a shot of B.A. getting out of one. It's filmed from the rear, so we can get a good look at the mohawk! That just leaves Murdock, who's introduced in his familiar jacket/cap getup, complete with pilot's headset. From there it's all high action mixed with nostalgia, sure to leave fans of the show with a "plot-hatching Hannibal" sized grin. Everyone involved gets to break out a well known piece of of their character. Hannibal gets to chomp a stogie and proclaim "I love it when a plan comes together". B.A. gets to act hella-tough and lament on how much he missed his van. Which of course gets a big a reveal as any of the characters. Which is only fair, there are few vehicles more iconic than that GMC van. Face, full of his trademark charisma, questions the sanity of Hannibal's plan, tells B.A. that he has a bad attitude and makes out with Jessica Biel's Lt. Sosa character. And Murdock, who get's the least amount of screen time, still finds time to show us how off kilter he is by calmly announcing that their planes wing is on fire. After the escape and the character revealing we get around 30 seconds of the team on their mission which is all ziplines and gunfire and helicopters. It ends with the bullet riddled A Team logo and the tagline "There is no plan B".
Don't look to me for a accurate critical review of this thing. I'm far too biased. I absolutely love the show and it looks like they're trying to keep it's fun spirit alive whilst ratcheting up the action several notches. So it's more than alright by me. But I can offer my opinions on a few small matters. From what I gleamed in the trailer, it looks like Bradley Cooper is staying the truest to his television counterpart. Something about the way he delivers his lines reminds me of Dirk Benedict's Faceman through and through. On the other hand, Sharlto Copley's Murdock seems to be from from the south. Unless that's just Murdock putting on a southern accent, as Murdock would do! Looks like Quinton Jackson is just playing a gruffer version of himself, which is fine, as Mr. T did the exact same thing. As for Liam Neeson... Look... Nobody will EVER truly replace george Peppard as Hannibal. I'm sorry, but he IS Hannibal. If he were still alive today I'd be the first signature on the petition to have his 80 year old face gracing the screen as the teams true leader. But having said that, Liam Neeson seems well suited to the role. He has that twinkle in his eye. The one that says, "I'll probably land us in a situation that will may us killed, but we'll have one hell of a time getting there.". He looks the part and sounds the part and I don't think he'll find a lot of negativity from the fans.
My only gripes about the trailer are: 1. The theme music isn't fully there, just a tease of what it might sound like performed by a full orchestra and 2. I maybe wrong about this, but I don't think I saw a single flipped jeep!
Believe me, this trailer does everything a good teaser should, it touches all the right bases without giving too much away. I don't know where you'll be this June 11th, but me personally? Even if it's just for two hours, I'll be hiring... the A-Team.
Sounds better than I was thinking it would be.
