Wreck-It Ralph
Made by Walt Disney Animation, and I don't know what it's about. It is directed by the former animation director of The Simpsons and Futurama, so take that as you will.

The Amazing Spider-Man looks cool just because of the trailer being such awesome 'quality'. The Avengers I'm interested to see, but I don't have high expectations for.
And I must find someone who will take tissues with me to see the Titanic.
Next to the two obvious ones, Spiderman and Avengers, the upcoming Quentin Tarantino film appears to be the only one of the ballet with any real promise. Tim Burton's animated ventures haven't been necessarily terrible, but I haven't been the biggest fan.

Me, Me!
Really none of these titles look that great to me, Titanic 3D should be good.
Awesome! We should like, wear something awesome to the first showing or something. As soon as we get done working out teleport. I'm hoping to wear capes with friends to the Star Wars movie.

And that's not even mentioning 3D and IMAX prices (But I'm not a big fan of 3D anyways, so... )

Same here Most movies simply aren't worth the money and time. If I'm really interested in a film, I can get it on Netflix for free, or go to Redbox and watch it for $2 WIN.
Except for those rare occasions when an epic friend offers to pay for my ticket

LOL ballet.
My misspellings always wind up embarrassing me in the worst ways.
