2kX Movies

Upon research I learned that good movie adaptations of books will be released this year. There are few movies I predict will be box-office hits and be the talk of the town upon its playdate. These are my top ten picks for two-tousand ten:

1. Alice in Wonderland. Nothing beats a Johnny Depp-Tim Burton work. A classic literature, Alice will definitely find its way to our hearts.

2. Robin Hood. When I saw the trailer on cable, I thought it was a sequel to Gladiator, a movie that gave Russel Crowe an Oscar. He costars with Cate Blanchett, another Oscar winner. The adventurous and legendary Robin Hood will definitely be scene-stealer this year.

3. Shrek 4 : Forever After. Our favorite green ogre is back again on the silver screen with new stories to tell as he meet various fairy tale characters that once brought us to happily (for)ever after.

4. Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time. Jake Gyllenhaal stars inthe movie adaptation of a video game with the same title. It is an action-adventure set in of course, Persia. Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Walt Disney, I can say this is the next "Pirates of the Carribean" saga.

5. Toy Story 3. Another Walt Disney product, it is a film for kids. Well, not really, this is film for everyone in the family. Anyone who is no longer sure can relate to this as the toys are being packed up because their owner is off for college. This will remind us that our toys brought us joy in our childhood and it would be waste to throw them up the attic instead of sharing them to others or maybe to our children.

6. The Last Airbender. Based on Nickelodeon's animated TV series, this is the Airbender's first attempt in changing their world and restoring the balance of the four elements the world.

7. The Chronicles of Narnia : The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. The handsome Prince Caspian is back again, as a King though. This is based on the third book on the series, The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis.

8. Rapunzel. A remake of the classic Grimm's fairytale, this Walt Disney production will be in 3D. Rapunzel is voiced by Mandy Moore, so expect a lot of singing a la Disney Princess.

9. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:Part 1. Sad, I know. This is the last chapter of JK Rowling's series of novels. The film was split in two, with the second part to be shown in 2011. Our favorite wizard together with Ron and Hermione will embark on a journey in finding the secret to Voldemort's power.

10. Salt. Starred by Angelina Jolie, this action-packed fictional film revolves around a CIA agent who is believed to be working as a spy for Russia. Jolie, who played the tomb raider before will surely feed our hunger for thriller films seasoned with Jolie's beauty and good acting.
