Titles 6-10

6. Star Trek XI
Release date: 26th December 2008
Official website: http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/series/MOV/011/index.html

What you need to know: Star Trek starts over. The last few movies have disappointed, badly. Not since First Contact has a Star Trek movie really impressed. J.J. Abrams hopes to change that however as he directs an entirely new Star Trek cast.

Star Trek XI


7. Cloverfield
Release date: 1st February 2008
Official website: http://www.cloverfieldmovie.com/

What you need to know: The interwebs have been buzzing with hype for this one too. Not much is known just yet, but a teaser has shown a giant explosion in New York city, the Statue of Liberty without a head and all sorts of doomsday action. What more could anyone ask?

Cloverfield


8. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Release date: 21st November 2008
Official website: N/A

What you need to know: Harry Potter returns to the big screen once again. 2007's Order of the Phoenix was arguably Potter's best outing to date and we'll look forward to seeing if that can be topped.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince


9. Aliens vs Predator: Requiem
Release date: 18th January 2008
Official website: http://www.avp-r.com/

What you need to know: Aliens vs Predator was an average movie, it didn't quite live up to expectations but yet we still found ourselves enjoying seeing Aliens and Predators on screen at the same time. Early next year, we get to see them again and though we're still dubious about the movie as a whole, a Predalien hybrid species is enough to get this flick on our list.

Aliens vs Predator: Requiem


10. Righteous Kill
Release date: 2008
Official website: N/A

What you need to know: Robert De Niro and Al Pacino return to the big screen together as two veteran New York city detectives hunting down a vigilante. Sounds ever so slightly clichéd, but De Niro and Pacino back together? We're sold already.

Righteous Kill

Dark Knight: Wanna see this, end of, its got Keysi in it as well..

Indy: Always a fan when younger, hopefully it wont dissapoint but, well it probably will :(

Bond: About time Bond was back, seriously out done by the likes of Bourne but DC's a good Bond so we'll see where it goes..

AvsP:R: AvsP was pretty naff tbh, hopefully AvsP2 wont be the P2 to the original..

Righteous Kill: RD and AP, both brilliant, hope the story holds them both.

The rest, wait until there on DVD…

Hadn't seen the latest Cloverfield trailer….looks pretty cool, and certainly given the scale of things, one to be seen at the cinema.

Did they change the name to Cloverfield? In my local cinema the poster has in the middle just “2008”. I thought that was what it was called xD.

Watching the trailer the first thing I think is it reminds me of what a prequel to HL2 would be like, with the 7hour war.

Looking forward to Indy, although I have to confess to being rather excited at the next Harry Potter film.

Nemz0r, they have mate. It was a movie that had no name originally so they just called it by release date. It is now officially known as Cloverfield.

I'm really looking to Wall-E, it sounds like Pixar's take on ET!
