The Fall movie season is always eagerly expected because of the plethora of exciting options it usually provides. As the Toronto Film Festival unspools we think of all the movies we are eagerly expecting.
Been Waiting So Long We're Kinda Over It
 |
| Foxcatcher |
We were excited a year ago. The raves came way back in May from Cannes. I guess we'll see it.
Cautiously Optimistic Because of Source Material
 |
| Into the Woods |
Stephen Sondheim. Meryl Streep. Emily Blunt. Anna Kendrick. Christie Baranski. Billy Magnusson. Those songs. It would be our most anticipated but unfortunately we've seen
Nine.
Career That Might Jumpstart
 |
| Jack O'Connell in '71 |
Starred Up. Unbroken. '71. Three major movie just might make a movie star. Two of them already seen with critical kudos, he's on his way.
Career Possibly Reinvigorated
 |
| Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler |
The
marketing has been aces. The
campaign to tell us about his commitment and weight loss has already started. He's been on a roll of edgy interesting movies. We have faith.
Suspect Because of Terrible Trailer
 |
| Men, Women and Children |
It seems it is trying to say something profound about the way we live now. Only that something looks and sounds very obvious. Hoping for the best but our gut says it's a turkey.
Suspect Because Tim Burton Has Been Lost For Years
 |
| Big Eyes |
Maybe Amy Adams will save it. Hoping for the best.
Known Entity But Still Eagerly Awaited
 |
| The Imitation Game |
We've
seen it. It's fantastic. We love Benedict Cumberbatch in it. Who knew we'd ever say those words? We can't wait to see it again. Mostly we can't wait to discuss it over and over. The conversations are going to be good.
Meh Feel We've Seen Before
 |
| The Equalizer |
It looks like every other Denzel movie. Get that
Fences adaptation going. And hire Viola Davis as your co-star.
Most Eagerly Awaited
 |
| Birdman |
The stellar reviews. Throwing about the "M" word. As in "masterpiece". We can't contain ourselves.
Wish It Was Opening This Fall
 |
| Carol |
Not many movies starring women. This would've been the ultimate with some of our best actresses. As we mentioned before this might be our
most anticipated movie ever.
What are you most excited about this Fall? What do you think of the movies we've mentioned? Agree? Disagree? Tell all in the comments.
