Coed Magazine lists its top 20 most anticipated movies of 2010, and Eclipse and the Last Airbender (starring Jackson Rathbone) both made the cut. Here's what Co-ed had to say:#15 - EclipsePersonally, Three Stooges is up there for me. My dad made me sit through endless hours of the Three Stooges growing up, so I gotta see it with my pops. :-) If you want to weigh in and see the entire list, check it out here.
COED’s Take: Why include the third Twilight movie to come out in less than two years? Two reasons. One, because it’s literally highly anticipated: right now there are a couple million 14-year-old Twilight fanatics searching the Web for articles that mention it. And two, because the new director, David Slade, might actually bring a spark to this franchise. He did 2005’s Hard Candy — the most disturbing movie to feature a teenage girl cutting a grown man’s testicles off since, well, ever — and 2007’s 30 Days of Night. So, at least he knows his way around vampires.
#12 - The Last Airbender
COED’s Take: This will either be a really cool movie or an epic failure to end all epic failures. M. Night Shyamalan finally branches beyond his patented thrillers, which is nice since The Happening and Lady in the Water sucked. But is he up for this kind of big-budget fantasy? Few people have heard of the source material, which means box office is pretty shaky unless the ad campaign wows a lot of people. But it will be cool to see Slumdog Millionaire’s Dev Patel try to make a name for himself beyond last year’s Best Picture winner.
Thanks to LettersToTwilight for the heads-up. :-)
