January

There are not any movies that look interesting in January.

February
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance 
Feb 17

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is the sequel to the first Ghost Rider movie. The first Ghost Rider movie was not a very good comic book movie. With the exception of Nick Cage the acting wasn't very good and overall disappointment but when the first movie was made there weren't that many good comic book movie except Spider-Man and X-Men. Since Marvel wasn't had a really bad comic book movie recently we are expecting it to be above average comic book movie but not a masterpiece like Captain America, Thor, or X-Men: First Class.

Succeeds if: The movie is darker and has a lot of action.

Fails if: The dialogue cheesy like the first movie.

The Hunger Games
March 23

The Hunger Games is based on a book that we know very little about. But thanks to Hannah at My Life: It Is What It Is and Rebecca at Just me...  who have read the books and told me about what the The Hunger Games is about. I think it will be a good movie. I really liked Jennifer Lawrence in her role in X-Men: First Class so I think she will do well in the role of Katniss Evenrdeen.

Succeeds if: The movie is accessible to newcomers to the series, pleases fans, and

Fails if: It is not true to the source material and the fans hate it, and if the futuristic stylized look discourages the general public.

Men in Black III

We watch the Men in Black movies for the first time this year and liked them. They weren't our favorite but they were still funny. We hope that new Men in Black movies are going to good.

Succeeds if: It can be a hilarious and has action.

Fails if: The plot is dumb and it is not that funny.
