2010 Movies update
http://www.datarave.net/zfh/2010/01/01/2010-movies-i-want-to-see/
Daybreakers – Didn’t see it. Reason: reviews were poor
Book of Eli – Didn’t see it. Reason: Stephanie saw the preview and said it looked like a Post-Apocalyptic Roadhouse (and I don’t like Patrick Swayze movies)
Legion – Didn’t see it. Reason: Life interfered with seeing it while it was in the theatres (only 3 weeks till it was down to only two theatres and a total of four showings in the Bay Area)
Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief – Saw it. Review:

I agree overall with the Kotaku review. The movie lacked in a lot of ways, but don’t let that disuade you from seeing it in the theatre, just don’t go in with high expectations. It was certainly a fun movie. I wrote a review on AMC Entertainment (since I saw it in an AMC theatre and had purchased my tickets through their online store, they sent me “write a review” email, which I decided to fill out. Unfortunately the review only permits 750 characters, so …)

Jennifer and I saw Book of Eli with friends and enjoyed it. Keep your expectations low and it’s good.
If you’re allergic to post apocalyptic, you might give it a pass, since it firmly is.
