Original: 8 Unreleased Movies Lacking Our Interest

[GregMO ROberts]

With the first six months of 2012 in the books, we are now in the final home drive for film releases with 26 weeks left for movie studios to amuse, amaze and entertain its box office public.

The second half of a release year is typically my favourite. July always brings some large big budgeted blockbusters. August traditionally throws us those films that are still quite good but studios held back as not to compete with the big May to July features. September is always a wasteland for movies as kids go back to school and studios are happy with $15 million openings. But October brings us our Halloween horror fare and November and December are the months where the potential award winning films are unleashed to a salivating public.

There are still a lot of great films to be released this year. The Dark Knight Rises, Django Unchained and The Hobbit are but three. But there are also a bunch of high profile releases that I intend to stay clear of. These are films that are still major releases for their given opening week-ends, but my desire to attend a screening sits at about a zero on the anticipation scale.

There are 8 such films that I particularly have no desire in viewing. Sure, I hope that I am found wrong in my expected disappointment, but from early internet chatter or trailer screenings, I just can’t see how I can get excited for these eight separate entries.

In release order, the eight films I look to avoid are: CLICK HERE

I wish those were the only 8 movies I didn't care about. Unfortunately, I have a hard time getting excited about the vast majority of movies these days.

Really want to check out Frankenweenie, looks like fun. And I'm a huge fan of the short Burton did. Hey he has to make up for something, with whatever Dark Shadows was. The rest of the list is pretty uninteresting, especially The Great Gatsby

Really could care less about most of those myself, as well. Especially Les Mis since we had a big production of it not too long ago with Liam Neeson. Of the list, the only ones I'm interested in is Red Hook Summer and Dredd, but even those could swing either way.
