Read the book last year and thought it was good. I also loved the director&#8217;s last two films. This is about a kid whose mother is dying. But fortunately an imaginary friend comes along to help him out. Although it sounds terribly cheesy if you say it like that. Maybe: To help cope with his mother&#8217;s inevitable death, the mind of a young lad breaks and he begins hallucinating a destructive monster that tells him to do bad things. OK, that&#8217;s not really it either. Just watch the trailer. I look forward to seeing it sometime this month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R2Xbo-irtBA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2771200\/\"><strong>Beauty and the Beast<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The animated film was one of the first movies I ever remember seeing in theaters. There&#8217;s no way this can beat the animated version, but I&#8217;ll still be interested to see it. I&#8217;m glad they&#8217;re including the songs, even though they were all already sung to perfection by the original animated voice cast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OvW_L8sTu5E\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1972591\/\"><strong>King Arthur: Legend of the Sword<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This sword and sorcery film from Guy Ritchie looks great, especially if it will be in 3D.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6rbPTQIdjmY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt5013056\/\"><strong>Dunkirk<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Since being pleasantly surprised after seeing <em>Batman Begins<\/em> in theaters while I was in college, I&#8217;ve made sure to see every Christopher Nolan film in theaters. <em>Interstellar<\/em> is his only film so far that I thought was less than stellar; it had such a silly ending. I&#8217;m sure this upcoming film of his will not have a similar ending. I really don&#8217;t care about the story or anything, I just like Christopher Nolan&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F-eMt3SrfFU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt4572792\/\"><strong>The Book of Henry<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is yet another movie I want to see only because of the director. I really enjoyed Colin Trevorrow&#8217;s last two films. I have no idea what the plot is for this film, and there doesn&#8217;t seem to be a trailer out yet. I just hope they don&#8217;t push the release date back yet again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2239822\/\"><strong>Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Director Luc Besson is hit or miss with me, but just look at those special effects&#8230; this should at least be a nice eye-candy movie.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NNrK7xVG3PM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2316204\/\">Alien: Covenant<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A new Alien movie from Ridley Scott?

Probably has something to do with its more sci-fi-ish setting. Tight-suits and skyscrapers just seem bland to me. So I would like to see this sequel&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dW1BIid8Osg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Animated films<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt4116284\/\"><strong>The Lego Batman Movie<\/strong><\/a> looks partly stupid, partly hilarious. Want to see. Then there&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt3606752\/\"><strong>Cars 3<\/strong><\/a>. I&#8217;m not so sure about yet another <em>Cars<\/em> movie from Pixar. I didn&#8217;t think the first two were all that great, but I&#8217;ve been seeing all Pixar films in theaters since <em>Toy Story<\/em> when I was 9 or 10 years old, so can I really stop now? Pixar also has\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2380307\/\"><strong>Coco<\/strong><\/a> coming out this year, which IMDb says is about a 12 year old boy guitarist who does something interesting or something. Well, whatever, it&#8217;s Pixar! Then there&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt3469046\/\"><strong>Despicable Me 3<\/strong><\/a>, which I hope will be as good as the last two, which were both hilarious.<\/p>\n<p>I think that&#8217;s it. I guess the ones I would definitely like to see in theaters include <em>A Monster Calls<\/em>, <em>King Arthur<\/em>, <em>Dunkirk<\/em>, and the two Pixar films. Only five. Not too bad, I guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some movies I&#8217;m looking forward to this year.
