For the summer, I originally wanted to see 20 and thus far I&#8217;ve seen six (seeing a movie when you have a kid under one is t-o-u-g-h) but a few of the 20 are no longer on my list &#8211; for instance, Speed Racer and The Love Guru will only be watched if I&#8217;m on a plane and without a book or if I&#8217;m in some other pseudo-desperate state &#8211; so I&#8217;m hitting a respectable .333.  If I was playing in MLB, that would earn me a few million dollars.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve enjoyed my summer post as it has helped keep me focused regarding the movies I eventually watch.  It also has helped me keep my Netflix queue up-to-date.  So, why not start a trend and post quarterly the movies that I want to see.  It doesn&#8217;t hurt that the NYT produces a special quarterly &#8220;This is what is coming to a theatre near you&#8221; section which means I basically circle what I want to see and then post it here.<br \/>\nSo, without further ado, here are the 12 flicks I hope to view:  The Changling, <del>Rocknrolla,<\/del> <del>Zack and Mimi Make a Porno,<\/del> <del>Role Models,<\/del> <del>Quantum of Solace,<\/del> Austrailia, Che, The Day The Earth Stood Still, What Doesn&#8217;t Kill You, <del>The Wrestler,<\/del> The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Spirit.  If there are more, I&#8217;ll post them and once I see what I see, I&#8217;ll post an update with a mini-review as well.<br \/>\nUPDATE: The Wrestler made me cry. Seriously. &#8216;Nuff said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming five months after my &#8220;Too Many Summer Movies 2008&#8221; post, I am providing a list of the 12 movies that are being released in theatres before the end of the year that I hope to see.
