that I would like to see still are as follows:
A Man in the Chair--
This movie has Christopher Plummer (The man acts everywhere!) in it and it's about a kid(boy) that befriends an old man living in a retirement area of Hollywood. The people that live here are past actors/tresses as well as crew. The boy then wants to make a movie, I believe for a class assignment and gets Flash(a nickname of the old guy given by Orson Wells on the set of Citizen Kane, for accidentally flashing the actors and crew with a lighting rig) involved as well as some other familiar faces of hollywood. I don't know the entire story, but it looks interesting and in a weird way, reminds me of Cocoon(with the Quaker Oats guy), with the pairing of the young and old in a movie. I hope it's a good one!
Across the Universe---
This particular movie is a musical of sorts in which a boy named Jude falls in love with a girl named Lucy. Across the Universe is a modern take on life and it's tribulations of love. I've seen posters of this movie on the walls of the tube stations a few month's back and since I am a Beatles fan, I only think it appropriate to see it.
Yes Man---
This story, created by the life experiences of Danny Wallace, was challenged by his friend Dave Gorman to say,"Yes, Man", to everything he came across for, I think, a year. It is to be released by the end of this year and stars Jim Carrey. A few months back, I was introduced to the concept of this book by a friend, Jess, so I still need to get around to actually reading it. And also, since I "own" the humour section at my store, I will be heavily promoting that book, along with his other titles.
The Lovely Bones---
Which should be released sometime this year or 2009, is based on a book I read by Alice Sebold in which a girl is brutally assaulted and killed by a crazy mad man when she is young. We then see from her point of view, life after she has passed away, how her family is affected by her death, as well as other really cool bits that come up in the story. Directed by Peter Jackson, I really hope that the movie proves to be just as good as the book.*fingers crossed*
Im sure there are other movies I would like to see, but this is what I can think of for the moment.:-)

Thanks, Jen. I’ve not seen any of those films, which are now added to my To See list.
