Must See Movies of 2009: APRIL

Just for the sake of seeing the original cast of The Fast and the Furious back together, this movie deserves to be a must see in 2009l. And I am curious to see if they are able to surpass themselves.

Synopsis: Heading back to the streets where it all began, two men rejoin two women to blast muscle, tuner and exotic cars across Los Angeles and floor through the Mexican desert. When a crime brings them back to L.A., fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto reignites his feud with agent Brian O’Connor. But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmaneuver him. And from convoy heists to precision tunnel crawls across international lines, two men will find the best way to get revenge: push the limits of what’s possible behind the wheel.

Gatchaman has been getting some hype, so I just thought it ought to be on the Must See list Movies of 2009. That said, I don’t know much about it.

What I do know is that Gatchaman will be a CGI movie based on the anime series of the same name, which follows the adventures of a 5-member superhero team.

Even though I am not as excited about The Wolfman as I am about other movies coming out in 2009, I thought it did deserve a spot as a must see movie of 2009. Just looking at the cast alone should get you excited. And after seeing some pretty great footage at Comic Con 2008, I think The Wolfman is going to be a pretty dark, great movie.

The Wolfman is a remake of the 1941 classic of the same name, about Lawrence Talbot (Benicio Del Toro), who returns home and gets bitten by a werewolf and consequently becomes one himself.

I was debating whether or not to put Dragonball Evolution as a must see movie of 2009. On the one hand the trailer looked really bad, but on the other hand, it’s freaking Dragonball. So because of the legendary franchise, I think it deserves a spot on our list.

Dragonball Evolution is based on the Japanese manga series of the same name, which I was a big fan of.

I don’t know much about this movie, but when I saw the list of actors attached to it, I knew it had to be a must see movie of 2009. Plus the story looks like something I would definitely enjoy watching.

State of Play is based on the BBC mini-series of the same name, which follows a team of reporters who work alongside a detective to solve the murder of a congressman’s mistress. The mini-series originally starred David Morrissey, John Simm, Kelly Macdonald, Polly Walker, Bill Nighy, and James McAvoy.

This just looks like it could be a great kick-ass movie. Plus one of my favorite actors, Alex O’Loughlin, is part of the cast, which pretty much guarantees that I will see this movie.

Whiteout is based on the comic book of the same name by Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber, about US marshal Carrie Stetko (Kate Beckinsale), who tracks a killer in Antarctica, as the sun is about to set for six months. She crosses paths with a U.N. operative (Gabriel Macht), also investigating the murder.
