For the summer, my top 3 anticipated movies<\/a> were Knight and Day<\/a>, Inception and Salt. While I didn\u2019t get to see Salt (I will, eventually), I had a great time with both Knight and Day<\/a> and Inception.<\/a> While Knight and Day \u2013 starring Tom Cruise<\/a> and Cameron Diaz<\/a>– gave us the perfect combination of action-comedy-romance, Inception<\/a> was one hell of a mind-bending ride with a killer script and equally impressive special effects.<\/p>\n

For the colder days ahead, there are many good movies coming up, and I picked the three that looked the most fun and well, they also have terrific casts.<\/p>\n

The Tourist \u2013 starring Johnny Depp<\/a> and Angelina Jolie<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Tourist seems like to be in the same genre as Knight and Day, and it has even got one innocent, clueless character that thinking they met this gorgeous and exciting person from the opposite sex but instead of a mind-blowing romance- or at least they can get to that, they find out that sexy stranger is involved in a very complex career. In Knight and Day it was Cameron Diaz, a car mechanic on her way to her sister\u2019s wedding when she met F.B.I agent on the run from the F.B.I agents trying to kill him, played by Tom Cruise. Here the hapless sap is Johnny Depp<\/a>, and the agent\/spy\/whatever is the woman, very appropriately played by Angelina Jolie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The movie seems to have a good sense of humor, great action sequences and exotic locations. Can\u2019t wait. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Love and Other Drugs starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pharmaceutical Rep. Jamie (Jake Gyllenhaal<\/a>) is pretty happy with his life: he likes his job (=he makes good money), and he is even better with (seducing) women. However his successful yet fun & simple life\u00a0 gets complicated when he finally meets a girl named Maggie (Anne Hathaway) who pretty much seems to be his female version: she is hot and she loves having sex for the hell of it. But there seems to be more to their attraction and eventually relationship to more than just sex. He really might be falling for her. But maybe there is a reason behind her carefree and fun-loving attitude, and it may be that will alter his life forever\u2026<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, I didn\u2019t include anything in the plot that wasn\u2019t suggested in the trailer. This ones seems to be a romantc comedy\/drama.<\/p>\n

This is Anne and Jake\u2019s second collaboration, the first one being in the award-winning Brokeback Mountain, where Jake played a cowboy falling in love with another gay cowboy, at a time when gay relationships weren\u2019t all that conventional and the two lovers end up marrying women, all the while staying in the affair through a long period of time. Jake\u2019s character had married Anne\u2019s character in the film.<\/p>\n

Due Date starring Robert Downey Jr<\/a>. and <\/strong>Zach Galifianakis<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

And from the makers of the The Hangover, comes another comedy. While the trailer of Due Date didn\u2019t make me laugh too hard, it entertained the hell out of me. And since I know the writer is a whiz at writing comedy and that both Zach Galifianakis<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> (The Hangover<\/a>\u2019s Alan, Bored to Death<\/a>\u2019s Ray) and Robert Downey Jr.<\/a> are more than apt at delivering perfect comedic performance, I believe it is safe to think that we might have stomach cramps from laughing because of this movie.<\/p>\n

The plot: Peter Highman (Robert Downey Jr.) needs to get to his wife\u2019s birth and unfortunately needs to let the weird passenger Ethan (Zach Galifianakis<\/strong><\/a>) join his ride. Of course there will hardly anything going normal…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
