My Top 10 Most Anticipated Movies of 2012

Here are the top ten movies, yet to be released, that I’m looking forward to seeing this year (ranked by release date).

#1) ‘The Avengers’ [May 4, 2012]

“Mega-superhero-mashup” + “Joss Whedon” = “CAN’T WAIT!” The amount of planning behind this movie is overwhelming. 

#2) ‘Moonrise Kingdom’ [May 16, 2012]

Wes Anderson can do no wrong. This all-star cast (Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Bill Murray…) is sure to deliver the quirkiness Anderson fans have come to expect.

#3) ‘Brave’ [June 22, 2012]

Forget ‘Cars 1 & 2’. ‘Brave’ will be a return to form for Pixar.

#4) ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ [July 20, 2012]

This movie will be battling ‘The Avengers’ for best superhero flick of the year (or ever). My money is on Nolan’s Batman finale.

#5) ‘ParaNorman’ [August 17, 2012]

I’m a sucker for stop-motion animation. Also, this director’s previous film, ‘Coraline’, was a personal favorite. Not to mention, it’s what I saw on my first date with Kerri. I wonder what this film will lead to?

#6) ‘Looper’ [September 28, 2012]

Peter Jackson is back in Middle-earth! In my mind, there is no way this will be anything short of amazing.

#8) ‘This is 40’ [December 21, 2012]

#9) ‘Life of Pi’ [December 21, 2012]

Only one image has been released for this film. See it here.

#10 ‘Django Unchained’ [December 25, 2012]

Tarantino’s latest film has an incredible cast and superb script. “Inglorious” was a blast and I can’t wait for Quentin’s next masterpiece.

There it is. I can’t wait to see all of these (and more) in theaters this year. The following are some movies that barely missed the list (in no apparent order): ‘Lincoln’, ‘John Dies at the End’, ‘Safety Not Guaranteed’, ‘Gangster Squad’, ‘Gravity’, ‘Wreck-It Ralph’, ‘Argo’, and ‘Prometheus’.

Let me know what you think of the list, and what movies you are looking forward to this year.
