The absence of The Departed, Running With Scissors, The Fountain, and Casino Royale makes me sad.

That said, the only movie on your list I have even a mild interest in seeing is Borat. Slasher movies (Texas, Saw) just aren't really my thing, and the rest are just generic come-out-every-year movies. Save for Nightmare at least.

I would also say that Texas really doesn't have that much of a chance of being good at all, but that's just me.

Oh, yea, and Happy Feet. You left off Happy Feet.

I agree on three of them, but I have to say I think Running will suck. If its the one I'm thinking of ( the one by the person who did Eternal Sunshine, right?) it looks like another vein attempt to be intellectual, similar to Sunshine.

Well, I think Texas, just like most of the other movies he mentioned, will be slasher-good, not good-good. I know you said that slashers arent your thing, and thats cool, but you have to remember that slasher-good means that, no matter the story or acting, the more blood, breasts, and brutality the better. I think TCM will deliver all that and more with just a dash of hilarity, similar to the first one.

I actually really liked Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but I think you might be confusing Running with something else. It's a Ryan Murphy directed film based on the like-titled memoir by Augusten Burroughs.

Or as my non comic reading friend calls it "Batman vs. Wolverine"

Yes even the non comic reading folk can be dorks.
