Are you GEEK?: 25 movies to watch in 2010

25 movies to watch in 2010

For those movie fanatics out there, 2010 is going to be an awesome year!
There are a lot of really good movies coming out, so to make it easier to decide, I sifted through a lot of sites and came up with a list of my top 25.

3 things before you start:
1) The movies are arranged in order of release date - from current to last & the release dates are for South Africa.
2) If you get playlist errors with the videos, just click "Continue" and the movie will still play
3) I may not have included a movie that you think is better, but I'm just recommending, you can watch whatever you want. I won't judge...much...

Halloween II
This is definitely one for the fans of horror movies only! Also you have to see the first one before you watch this one... If the two criteria are not met you will be in the same situation as my friend Alex, who really did not enjoy it!

The Wolfman
It has Benicio Del Toro & Anthony Hopkins in it. But if that doesn't convince you, have a look at the trailer.

After Titanic I lost a bit of faith in Leonardo De Caprio, but recently he has had some awesome appearances, especially Body of Lies. So when he is gonna appear in a Scorcese movie, you gotta want in on it!
