I recently received Entertainment Weekly‘s Fall Movie Preview issue. You might have heard about it because the cover story was for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince but the week before (after EW had gone to press), the release date was changed from this November to next summer. Oops. The good news is that with that change, the release of Twilight, the movie I’m looking most forward to this fall, has been bumped back to 21 rather than Dec. 12.
Here are some of the other movies highlighted that I’m looking forward to. Most of these will be Netflix rentals, but I definitely want to see Twilight and probably Australia on the big screen.
Appaloosa (9/17) — starring Viggo Mortensen, Ed Harris, Jeremy Irons and Renee Zellweger; a western — I love westerns.
The Duchess (9/19) — starring Keira Knightley
Blindness (9/26) — starring Julianne Moore, Gael Garcia Bernal and Mark Ruffalo
Body of Lies (10/10) — starring two of my favorite actors, Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe
Quantum of Solace (11/7) — Daniel Craig as James Bond
Australia (11/14 — hey, that’s my anniversary) — starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman
Bolt (11/26) — animated, with the voices of John Travolta, Miley Cyrus and others
Revolutionary Road (12/26) — Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet on screen together again!
Marley & Me (12/25) — based on the book, starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (12/25) — starring Brad Pitt
Defiance — starring Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber and Jamie Bell
What fall releases are you looking forward to?

I want to see “Burn After Reading.” It looks really funny. Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Frances McDormand. I saw a commercial for Ricky Gervais’ new movie. That looks funny, too. I can’t wait to see “Australia” and the new James Bond movie.

I haven’t heard about the plots of most of those movies, but there are a couple that interest me based on the actors in them. I think I might like Appaloosa and Australia.

I think I want to see Australia, Twilight and James Bond on the big screen, the rest can wait.
My daughters have been waiting for Harry Potter, now they have to wait a little bit longer…
