So I've spent a little time researching two upcoming movies and they look like they could be worth watching. Both, however, are set to release in December so you will have to relax and wait.

King Kong is directed by Peter Jackson (yes, the same Peter Jackson who directed the Lord of the Rings trilogy) and stars Jack Black, Colin Hanks, Adrian Brody, Naomi Watts, and LotR veteran Andy Serkis. Serkis, who played the creature Gollum in the trilogy, provides the motion capture work for King Kong as well as having a minor role in the cast.

The movie is set in 1930s Depression-era New York as well as some rather "exotic" settings. It looks like it could be a great film, lots of action, good acting, great story. Watch the trailer here.

The second is the big screen release (finally) of what looks to be a quality version of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, beginning with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. This was the first book published although it is not first in the chronilogical story; Lewis himself wrote in 1957 that he thought it best to read them in the correct order beginning with The Magician's Nephew. Anyway, the trailer looks like the movie will be impressive but go see it for yourself here.
