It's a shame that all the good looking movies are loaded to the back end of the year. But, then again, that's how it always is, no? I think each one of these movies look terrific, to varying degrees.
TABLOID (Errol Morris, 2011) (His movies are always eventful!)
THE FUTURE (Miranda July, 2011) (Love that cat as a narrator, and we get to see Ms. July dancing, too.)
CRAZY STUPID LOVE (Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, 2011) (The script could go south, but, whoa! That cast! I love all those people!)
ANOTHER EARTH (Mike Cahill, 2011) (More cinematic grapplings with an apocalypse.)
THE TRIP (Michael Winterbottom, 2011) (Coogan and Brydon--and Winterbottom, who gave us Tristram Shandy--are a classic comedy team; their dueling Michael Caines will be one of the best scenes of the year.)

Dean,
Another Earth looks interesting. Films about the Apocalypse often disappoint because the idea of it is so thrilling and shiver-inducing.
I hadn't heard of it, so thanks for the trailer.
Immortals does not look good.
It's seems as if we have three films about the end of the world coming in rapid succession: ANOTHER EARTH, TAKE SHELTER and MELANCHOLIA. What's going on here???
IMMORTALS will probably be bad, because of the subject matter (movies about fighting always bore me). But I know the costume design and art direction, plus the photography and visual style will be worth checking out.
On second thought, I had to take the IMMORTALS down. It DOES look bad. I just can;t brook those fighting movies, no matter who does them. So I replaced it with Michael Winterbottom's THE TRIP.
