2012 Movie Previews

by Daragh Keany

Spring Movies in 2012

Movie makers are serving us up some incredible treats this spring as some of the most hotly anticipated films of the last 12 months finally hit our screens.

And you'll be glad to hear there isn't a single pirate, wizard or hobbit in sight.

Last week saw the release of Shame, War Horse and Haywire to start the ball rolling for 2012 but that is just the beginning. So put the feet up and check out the best of what's to come.

The Sitter

One of two movies this Spring that Jonah Hill is starring in (21 Jump Street being the other). This one is before he got thin and if the trailers anything to go by it's going to be a huge hit.

J Edgar

J EDGAR: Starring DiCaprio and directed by EastwoodWhen you have Leonardo DiCaprio in front of the camera and Clint Eastwood behind it you know you are in for a show. This movie is thrilling to the end but is definitely for the more serious moviegoer out there.

The Descendants

This is worth getting excited about. Sideways director Alexander Payne returns with another film about a middle-aged man who is on the verge of personal melt down. George Clooney is one of the best character actors around so we are expecting huge things from this.

The Grey

If Liam Neeson's onscreen persona is anything like Taken we don't fancy his enemy's chances in this thriller set in Alaska. When his plane crashed he is forced to survive against...a pack of wolves.

Chronicle

CHRONICLE: Not all heroes are superA group of teenagers discover they have various superpowers such as flight, telekinesis and super strength. Sound familiar? Fans of TV show Heroes are going to love this.

Jack and Jill

I'm not exactly sure how Adam Sandler continues to get the green light for his movies. In Jack and Jill he plays both brother and sister in a movie that will not be featuring heavily at The Academy Awards.

Like Crazy

The big smash hit from last year's Sundance Festival is due to hit Irish screens on February 3rd. Drake Doremus's picture finds Alton Yelchin and Felicity Jones trying to make sense of their long distance romance.

Man on a Ledge

THRILLER: Involved - or not?Sweet baby Jesus - if the trailer is anything to go by this is going to be huge next month. Two of the men-of-the-moment Sam Worthington and Jamie Bell star in this crime thriller.

Martha Marcy May Marlene

Don't judge this movie because Elizabeth Olsen (the younger of the twins) plays the lead. This is as far from cheesy Disney as you can get. In fact, her performance is being hailed as the break through role of the year so far.

Big Miracle

True story, starring Drew Barrymore, about a group of volunteers in Alaska trying to free some whales from advancing ice. Pass the sickbag.

A Dangerous Method

How many Michael Fassbenders are there out there? He seems to be in every other movie these days. Here he plays CJ Jung opposite Viggo Mortensen's Sigmund Freud. Intriguing trailer.

The Muppets

Muppet fans are going to adore this. Kids of today may struggle to see the attraction now that animation has moved on so much.

The Vow

This romantic sloppy flick will be released on Valentines week. Channing Tatum learns how to love again after his wife (Rachel MacAdams) falls into a coma. Yawn.

The Woman in Black

This will go under a lot of people's radars but it is based on a hugely successful play and it stars Daniel Radcliffe so it's worth a mention.

Young Adult

Charlize Theron is back to her best (let's forget about Aeon Flux shall we?) playing a writer who returns home and attempts to woo her high-school sweetheart.

This Means War

The bankable Reese Witherspoon, the incredible Tom Hardy and the dependable Chris Pine means this rom-com is too cool for school. Even the movie poster is slick.

One For The Money

If we choose to blame Killers on Ashton Kutcher and New Year's Eve on...well everyone else who was in it, then Katherine Heigl has the golden touch. In this hilarious movie she has dark hair and plays opposite Dubliner Jason O'Hara.

Safe House

Is there anything Ryan Reynolds can't do? The comedian is now a very believable action hero and after the success of Green Lantern comes this intense thriller with Denzel 'my man' Washington. Brendan Gleeson turns up too with a silly accent for good measure. One of the best trailers doing the rounds at the moment.

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters

Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton play an extremely violent version of the mythical fairytale siblings.

Project X

Incredible trailer from the director of The Hangover. One wild house party and the so-called rare footage found after it makes up this unique film.

21 Jump Street

Yes it's finally here. The TV drama that 80s children grew up watching and that launched Johnny Depp's career is on the big screen. But this time it's a comedy starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill and it looks amazing.

Contraband

This Mark Wahlberg thriller is set in the murky underworld of Panama and is jam packed full of tension, crime, romance and action.

We Bought a Zoo

Please ignore the name. This is going to be huge in the third week of March. It stars Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson and it was supposed to be released in December but got pushed back.

Battleship

Amazingly this is going to be huge. Young boys are going to love it. Old boys are probably going to love it for that matter too. Liam Neeson stars in this live action version of the old school board game. I say...A12...HIT!

The Avengers

Holy shit. This has nothing to do with the 60s TV series. What do you get if you take Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, The Hulk and every other Marvel hero of the last decade of film and put them in the same movie? The Avengers 2012 style!
