I saw it mention a couple of movies I was definitely interested in. I decided to do some further research, and using Wikipedia, discovered all the upcoming movies for 2010 and went through them, picking out my TOP 10 for 2010. This list could (and probably would) change over the coming months as I see other movies that could also perk my interest.

So my Top 10 for 2010 (in release date order) are:

Daybreakers – 6th January
Wall Street 2 – 23rd April
Nightmare on Elm Street – 30th April
Iron Man 2 – 7th May
Robin Hood – 14th May
The A-Team – 11th June
Little Fockers – 30th June
Twilight Eclipse – 30th June
Inception – 16th July
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 – 19th Nov

Release dates are subject to change of course. A couple of movies that didn’t make the top 10 but are notable releases are Shrek 4 and The Expendables.

This is one of those movies I’ve been anticipating for over half a year. I tried to book a ticket on the Golden Screen Cinema website, but due to very heavy traffic, their online ticketing system is broke, again (It happened when Transformers 2 came out). I contemplated seeing it on Thursday, but the show times at the nearby cinema wasn’t suitable for me.

Today I went to Pavillion KL, as I know they have a fully digital screen for the big movies. When I arrived, I saw the queue – or more likely the ‘crowd’, it was epic.. Oh my god!! Now, people that know me, know I detest a couple of things, Traffic congestion and queues, and this was one almighty queue. Fair enough, I thought, I’ll try to bypass the queue and go to the Gold Class section – Yes, I know it’ll cost more, but it’s better seats, more comfort and most importantly, no queues. I asked about the digital screen and was told that it’s not being shown on the digital screen – WTF!! Do these people have no clue at all? OK ok, so what shows do you have available.. 12pm – no, 1pm – no, 2.30pm – no, 3.30pm – one seat in the corner. Cost 50RM.. It was then I decided to sack that idea.. 50 Ringgit for a corner seat and the film’s not even in digital.. I’ll pass thanks. Overall, it was a bit of a wasted trip to KL, I didn’t really fancy doing anything else, and it was busy, so I headed home.

I think I may wait until Monday or Tuesday and see it at my local cinema – If I can! Hopefully the online ticketing system is back working then – But I won’t hold my breath!
