The season’s preview: There are some Oscar hopefuls. There is Avatar….

Fantastic Mr. Fox:

I’m rooting for this.

Pixar’s built a medium.

‘Different’ is good.

Ninja Assassins:

Stylized violence

Makes up for lack of story.

Whatever. More blood

Old Dogs:

Travolta, Robin.

Just here for the huge paycheck.

What is this about?

The Road:

Delayed a year plus.

Almost never a good sign.

Book’s great. Can’t be bad.

The Princess and the Frog:

A first for Disney.

This features a black princess.

Took them eighty years.

Me and Orson Wells:

Zac Efron’s appeal

Is tested. Stage drama is

Not an easy sell.

Armored:

Half Tyler Perry.

Half formulaic action.

One Hispanic hit.

Did You Hear About the Morgans?

Did you hear that Hugh

Grant, SJP are in this?

No? Yea, me neither.

Invictus:

It’s taken this long,

To cast Red as Mandela?

Mail him the Oscar.

The Lovely Bones:

Does rape and dead tweens,

Put you in the x-mas spirit?

I’ll pass on this one.

Crazy Heart:

Some are calling this

The year’s Slumdog. Small budget,

Great tale. Lots of buzz.

Avatar:

Can’t wait for this one.

Supposed to “redefine film.”

Went six to midnight.

A Single Man:

Firth plays a gay man

That has just lost his lover.

Broke back to Oscars

Nine:

Don’t love musicals.

But D Day always brings it.

Critics will dig this.

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel:

The original

Made three sixty mill worldwide.

Let that one sink in.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus:

Law, Depp, and Farrell,

Fill in for departed Ledger.

Will be eerie, sad. 

It’s Complicated:

Just like a fine wine,

Streep, Baldwin better with age.

And make you sleepy.

Sherlock Holmes:

I’m really jealous

That all of my Jewish friends

Will see this flick first
