Most of the stuff on Triple A's list are things I've been looking forward to.

I will also add:

Watchmen (I'm a comic book nerd)
RockNRolla (I love Guy Ritchie)
The Soloist (Because I'll watch anything Robert Downey Jr. does)
Appaloosa (Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris in a western, co-written by Ed Harris, who is amazing)
What Just Happened? (Robert De Niro in a movie about Hollywood)
The Brothers Bloom (Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo as con-men in a movie directed by the director of Brick)
Pride and Glory (Ed Norton and Colin Farrel as brother cops)
Milk (Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, and James Franco in a Gus Van Sant movie about the first openly gay politician)
Frost/Nixon (I normally hate Ron Howard movies, but this looks kinda cool to me. And I love Sam Rockwell)
The Spirit (I'm a comic book nerd and this looks over the top and fun)

New York gets all the awesome movies I wanna see. I wanted to see VCB, but I'm pretty sure it's not even playing in my state. Fuckin' Indiana.

I dunno how many of those will be up your alley, but if I get you interested in at least one of them, mission accomplished.

I got this card from my cable company that lets me go to the movies for free every Tuesday, and it is incredible. Any other day is $6 which is also not bad. I will put this to good use.

Funny People is going to be absurd. Take all the Apatow people and throw in Adam Sandler and Jason Schwartzman. That could be immense or it could be awful. I'm too nervous it could fail.

I see where you're coming from except one thing. Written and Directed by Judd Apatow. He produces or oversees a lot of projects, some good, some not so good. But the ones he puts his fingerprints on directly are some of the most brilliant films of recent years, let alone comedies.
