The first one of 2010!

From wikipedia:

The Motels were a New Wave music band from the Los Angeles area best known for "Only the Lonely" and "Suddenly, Last Summer", each of which peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1982 and 1983, respectively. Their song "Total Control" reached number 4 on the Australian charts in 1980. Martha Davis, the lead singer, reformed a version of the band called The Motels featuring Martha Davis, in 1998; as of 2008[update] she continues to appear under that name with various line-ups.

So does anyone see anything they like?

I might see the following:

41 The Rum Diary Johnny Depp’s star power should ensure that this adaptation of an early unsuccessful novel by his hero, Hunter S Thompson, gets plenty of attention. Adapted and directed by Bruce Robinson, who gave us Withnail and I, this take of unruly and perilously thirsty journalists will be near-unavoidable this spring, if only because we journalists love films about journalists.

Johnny Depp, with an interesting director, working on a subject he loves.

33 Hot Tub Time Machine John Cusack, Chevy Chase and curiously spelled TV stalwart Lyndsy Fonseca star in a lighthearted time travel fantasy that is more Peggy Sue Got Married than The Terminator. Four pals climb into a jacuzzi, start reminiscing and find that they’ve fallen back into 1987. Fonseca play the sweetheart that slipped through Cusack’s fingers first time around.

The latest from Cusack and Pink who gave us Grosse Point Blank and High Fidelity.

23 Green Zone Bourne director Paul Greengrass reconnects with Matt Damon to make this searching drama about the war in Iraq. As he did with United 93, which depicted the events of September 11 2001, Greengrass shows no fear of touching on contemporary events to inform his work. Based on Rajiv Chandrasekaran’s 2006 book Imperial Life in the Emerald City, the movie is likely to express a somewhat jaundiced view of America’s involvement in Iraq.

The book is interesting and Greengrass is good.

18 Predators The classic 1980s sci-fi actioner comes back to life in the hands of Quentin Tarantino’s pal Robert Rodriguez. The man who brought us Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn, Planet Terror and Spy Kids has chosen not to direct this one but is retaining a strong grip behind the scenes. The story involves a group of the toughest humans alive abducted and taken to the home planet of the invisible super-hunters. Pursued through the strange alien jungle they are picked off one by one until only one survives.

Robert Rodriguez! Should be a great summer release.

8 Inception Following his huge success with The Dark Knight, Writer-director Christopher Nolan steps away from Gotham City for a brainy science fiction thriller. Leonardo Di Caprio plays a businessman being blackmailed by (minor) Batman Begins villain Ken Watanabe. Also rejoining Nolan from the Batman series are Cillian Murphy and Michael Caine.

Christopher Nolan is good and its an original SF story.
