Fall Movie Preview!

Once again, Entertainment Weekly has given me news of things I should care about. Must-See Movies

• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part One (11/19) Why? You're joking, right? It's like you don't even know me.
• Tangled (11/24) Why? Fairy tale remake! With Rapunzel kicking butt, and a dashing thief-like character! I am such a sucker for dashing thief-like characters!
• The Tempest (12/10) Why? Shakespeare and Julie Taymor! Helen playing Prospero! It is going to be so pretty.
• The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (12/10) Why? Pevensies! Caspian! REEPICHEEP. Seriously, though, this is my favorite book from the series, and I love the Odysseyness of it. (Though I wonder what they'll do after this--The Silver Chair and The Magician's Nephew are so separate from the rest of the narrative, and The Horse and His Boy and The Last Battle are, well, problematically racist. So.)

Movies That Intrigue Me

• The Social Network (10/01) Why? The concept is intriguing. It's written by Aaron Sorkin. The trailer's pretty awesome. There is Timberlake.
• RED (10/15) Why? Y'all, Helen Mirren is starring in a comic book action movie alongside Morgan Freeman and Bruce Willis. Chew on that for a few minutes.
• Megamind (11/05) Why? Good buzz on this one, and the voice cast is great. And I always enjoy a story told from the villain's point of view.
• Burlesque (11/24) Why? It...it kind of looks like a film-length version of "Lady Marmalade." I would watch that.
• TRON: Legacy (12/17) Why? Even though I never saw the first movie, I love what I've seen in the trailer, design-wise. The bluish glow of the lights, Olivia Wilde's sleek, sharp bob. Neato.

I Would Go Back in Time to Stop This from Happening

• Life as We Know it (10/08) Why? I hold the firm belief that romantic comedies starring Katherine Heigl are bad for women, bad for men, and bad for society.
