Movies I Want to See :: as of Dec.5.07

I'm an avid "trailer watcher" and am constantly finding new films that intrigue me based on these "sales pitch" tools. Below are some trailers of a few films that I'm really interested to see (in no particular order)...

1) JUNO
A comedic yet emotionally poignant story about the pregnancy of a young, quirky high sch0ol girl: Juno. Ellen Page, Michael Cera, and Jason Bateman. Acting/Comedy GOLD.
2) THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY
After French Elle's editor has a massive stroke at a young age, he learns to break free from his prison-like body and retreat into his imagination and his memories to find life once again. This looks stellar.
3) 4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS, and 2 DAYS
In the last days of communist Romania, two college roommates prepare for an illegal abortion that leads them deep down the rabbit hole... Film takes place in a single day. Why do I LOVE foreign film so much!?
4) CLOVERFIELD
JJ Abrams' "The whole movie seen through the "Sony HandyCam" of someone at a party" docu-style Sci-Fi Action Extravaganza.
5) BELLA
A story of true sacrifice and true love. Tammy Blanchard is a great actress and the dude in it is HOT.
6) BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOUR DEAD
Stellar Cast (Ethan Hawke, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Marisa Tomei, Albert Finney) About two brothers who decide to rob a mom-and-pop jewelry store (run by thier own "mom and pop"). Things go awry. Drama ensues.
7) FUNNY GAMES
A sick and twisted take on the "family being taken hostage" genre.
8) THERE WILL BE BLOOD
Daniel-Day Lewis. Enough Said.
9) FIERCE PEOPLE
When a young teen is denied a trip to study an exotic tribe, he focuses his anthropological studies on the people of his current surroundings:
10) STRANGE WILDERNESS
The end of this trailer makes me laugh so hard I cry. Steve Zhan and Justin Long are great in this. Film follows a group of misguided nature documentarians.
11) SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET
Do I even need to say why I want to see this? Ok, here we go: Tim Burton. Johnny Depp. Musical Theater. Bloodiness. Did I say Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, and Musical Theater already?

More to come very soon...
