Movies to See

I haven't been to the theatre in ages and ages and so today I saw previews for several movies I am now interested in seeing. Don't trailers always make movies look appealing? (trailers available at all four sites)

Here are the four that caught my attention.



Casanova -- From the director of Chocolat and starring Heath Ledger and Sienna Miller, Jeremy Irons, Oliver Platt, and Lena Olin.



Aeonflux -- starring Charlize Theron.... finally an animated video-game girl brought to life to rival Angelina Jolie in her Tomb Raider disappointments (though I rather liked the first one... well, at least it made me want to get in shape)



The Family Stone -- From the director of Sideways and with a cast like this, I can't wait. (Claire Danes, Sarah Jessica Parker, Dermot Mulroney, Diane Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Craig T. Nelson, Luke Wilson)



Memoirs of a Geisha -- I've had the book for ages and always thought we might read it in book club. I might have to give it a go before the movie hits the theatres. It looks beautiful. This film stars Ziyi Zhang (House of Flying Daggers and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon).
