Here's a look at upcoming movies. (Release dates subject to change). --
EllenThe Last Airbender (starring
Noah Ringer and
Dev Patel; dir. by
M. Night Shyamalan) --Here's that
other Avatar movie, based on the popular Nickelodeon series about a child named Aang who has the power to manipulate air, water, earth, and fire. The production's already drawn criticism for casting non-Asians in the roles (the lone exception is Patel, who only got cast after singer
Jesse McCartney dropped out). If you're at all familiar with the show the difference is quite noticeable. Bet M. Night is hoping this isn't the next
Dragonball: Evolution (Have you seen that movie? No? I did. I just saved you 90 minutes.)
(Summer)
Chloe (starring
Julianne Moore, Amanda Seyfried & Liam Neeson dir. by
Atom Egoyan)-- I spent most of the trailer wondering what the hell
Julianne Moore and
Liam Neeson were doing in something that looks like a cross between
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle and
Fatal Attraction. Then I remembered that it's directed by Canadian auter Egoyan (
The Sweet Hereafter), and plus those other two movies (Moore had a memorable death in
Cradle) were actually pretty good genre films, so you never know.

Toy Story 3 (voices by Tom Hanks and Tim Allen dir. by John Lasseter): Remember in Toy Story 2, when Kelsey Grammer posited what would happen to the toys when Andy went off to college? Well, that's answered here, where the toys go to a donation center (complete with day spa!), Ken meets Barbie, and Woody is determined to make his way back home. Also, running pre-schoolers. Who isn't excited about this? (Jun. 18)
