Here are the upcoming movies for November! As always, descriptions courtesy of the IMDB. Snarky comments by me.

Excited about the next X-Men and Hobbit movies? Any movies you plan to see in November? Think LG’s pumpkin is cool? And can you name any of the authors…?
And now scroll all the way to the bottom - my name in lights, courtesy of the awesome Jeremy Hawkins!
Surely not first? Bet someone beats me to it! Want to see Thor, Hunger Games (sorry Alex!) and Book Thief. Looking like a great movie month ahead.
ReplyDeleteThat pumpkin carving is fantastic, must have taken ages, well done LG!
Ooh, I can't wait to see Thor!
ReplyDeleteA great review of films to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
OMG OMG OMG!!! Talk about a wake up from heaven!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose two trailers ... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKK! Seriously awesome. LIke, kick @$$ awesome. Need to watch now!
Need coffee, too. Baby has me up a bit TOO early.
That pumpkin is amazing, I'm carving mine today but it won't be anywhere near that good!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Thor looks awesome! I'm excited to see that one. Ender's Game...hmmm. I haven't read the book. I'm not sure what bothers me about the trailer, either. There's something that just doesn't excite me about it. Hopefully, I'm wrong.
ReplyDeleteI love both the Xmen and Hobbit/LOTR concepts.
ReplyDeleteWhat I like so much about the X-Men is that there really is no true villain. Aerich and Charles started their vision together, and always had the same motivation and end result. The methodologies is all that is different. Does it make me a sick person that Magnito was never a truly bad guy to me? Misguided, yes. Morality is such a fickle concept.
I think the producers of The Hobbit and LOTR have done justice to the written novel. JRR would be proud of the concepts.
I've read Ender's game also, and am anxious to see if the movie producers can capture the main plot of the story. I need to pick up The Book Thief and read it before I see the movie. It seems like one I'd like to book better.
.....dhole
Wife and I watched X-Men trailer, looks awesome... I didn't know what the heck was going on. Sadly I am still refusing to see Hobbit II/III in the theater, I don't think "We are walking" for another 6 hours cannot wait until the blu-ray release.
ReplyDeleteOh, THOR is the one we are going to see, though I plan on taking off my shirt every time he does. Kind of a reverse on the drinking game. Not interested in Hunger Games and no nothing about Ender's Game, except the score... that is really great. Of course it's not because I am friends with the composer or anything.
Have a grand day and thank you!
I loved the Hobbit book, but I can't wait to see what happens in the next Hobbit movie. My family can't wait for X-Men and Thor.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne, you are first, and go enjoy Hunger Games.
ReplyDeleteTerri, you are wired! First laugh of the morning.
Sheri, think it will be good.
Donna, not the first time Xavier and Magneto have worked together. And I think they've done The Hobbit justice.
Jeremy, reverse drinking game - I like that!
So many movies I want to see this month-Enders Game, Thor, and The Book Thief. I want to see The Hunger Games one but worry I'll be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI want to see Thor and Catching Fire in Nov., but the X-Men?!?! That's going to be awesome! May can't get here quick enough.
ReplyDeleteThor and Catching Fire are on my schedule of To See films.
ReplyDeleteEnder's Game and Catching Fire without question. Also would like to see The Book Thief, Thor 2 and Frozen. The latest X-Men movie is going to be awesome and trailer blew me away. Thanks for the movie fare Alex.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be there for The Hobbit and Thor, but I don't like X-Men movies.
ReplyDeleteWow! The new x-men looks awesome! A lot of good movies on the horizon.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember there being so many good movies coming out in November before! I plan on seeing at least three of those. I haven't seen Hobbit yet. I may watch them all three at the same time after all three are out.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing Thor!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the shout out, Alex! I appreciate it very much! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see both THE BOOK THIEF and CATCHING FIRE.
And I think it was William Blatty who wrote The Exorcist....
Your name in lights is awesome!
I really will have to make plans to see some of those movies, especially the X men. The Desolation of Smaug looks really good too. Wonder who I can get to go with me?
ReplyDeleteLike your name in lights, way to go.
dude...i cant wait for xmen...it looks great...and hobbit...and thor...i am such a sucker...ha....i will be broke bu happy...smiles..
ReplyDeleteKeith, set aside an entire Saturday for that.
ReplyDeleteMadeline, you're welcome! And didn't Jeremy do an awesome job?
Glad everyone is excited for the next X-Men - that trailer gave me chills.
Must see Thor and X-Men.
ReplyDeleteVery curious about The Book Thief. I love WWII time movies.
Kids want to see Frozen I guess that will be the highest priority.
Love your name in lights!
Great job by Jeremy as always!
Days of Future Past and Desolation of the Smaug look epic. I will definitely see them in cinemas.
ReplyDeleteThe Wolf of Wall Street is not opening in November but rather on Christmas Day - December 25. I will definitely see this one in cinemas.
Can't wait to see The Book Thief and Catching Fire! I am seeing Ender's Game this weekend. It looks awesome.
Some great looking films, I'm defo looking forward to the new X men film. Hop the Hobbit doesn't bore me to tears like the first one did????
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of good movies coming out in November that I want to see.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see all the familiar faces in X-Men. I never read any of the comics but I've enjoyed all (well, most)of the movies.
That's a lot of great movies coming. I may even have to leave the house to see one or two.
ReplyDeleteAnd cool pumpkin!
1. Blatty
ReplyDelete2. Stevenson
3. King
4. No clue
5. No clue
Thor and Ender's Game for sure, Last Vegas maybe too. Can't wait for x-men, anything beats x3, hopefully it is good.
I'm missing out. I gotta get to the movies more often.
ReplyDeleteCool pumpkin. :)
I just read and reviewed Madeline's book and couldn't recommend it any higher.
ReplyDeleteI actually really dug your movie forecast, Alex. What? You don't want to see Catching Fire? Did you see The Hunger Games? Me and Dave just loved it and can't wait for Catching Fire. Then again, I'm a huge fan of Jennifer Lawrence - and can't wait to see her in X-Men, too. And Thor... gotta see Thor. Looks like it's going to be a great movie season! Oh, we went out to see Escape Plan last night and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It was really pretty good. Ol Sly and Ahnold kept me on the edge of the seat and provided me with more than a few laughs. So yeah, I recommend it.
As for Trivia, I think the first one is William Peter Blatty or something like that. I was going to say Stephen King for the Dark Tower, then saw the date... so I have no idea.. Yup, I'm a real wiz at trivia.
That pumpkin is just amazing and your name in lights is trés cool. Happy Hallowe'en!
another X-men? Wow. That franchise is one of the most productive yet, I guess.
ReplyDeleteThe pumpkin is amazing! I will not be seeing the Book Thief, that book was 'Jews in nazi Germany' stories that doesn't end well. I'd never pay to see it (unless the wife makes me).
ReplyDeleteX-Men does look pretty amazing. I'm surprised.
Lessee - trivia. I'll guess Tim Powers, Stephen King and H.P. Lovecraft - no idea about the others though.
OMG - I'm salivating after those trailers, and I adored The Book Thief. I will be one of the many at the next Hunger Games, Thor and Ender's Game too.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Madeline, your books sounds awesome (according to Alex's not so snarky remark) :) X
shahwharton.com
So I'm not the only person who isn't a fan of The Hunger Games? Glad to know that! I'm curious about the Wall Street movie and that X-Men trailer is really awesome.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for Madeline, I love her stories.
Go L. G. that pumpkin is awesome and really took some time!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween!
And movie season has arrived! Wow!
Wish I was an avid movie goer - oh well, the videos will have to do! Unless I can bribe someone into taking me! LOL
I think #4 is Tim Powers (must resist urge to Google).
ReplyDeleteI would like to see X-Men. Humm, my husband and I do need a date night....
Wow! What a cool pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the second Hobbit movies as well as Catching Fire (still need to read the book for the latter).
LOVE the X-Men trailer. Also, I'm a huge fan of Richard Armitage and Tom Hiddleston of course, so I can't wait for Smaug and Dark World.
ReplyDeleteAlready purchased my tickets for Ender's Game and Catching Fire. Looking to be a great movie season.
And for some reason I thought you hadn't read Ender's Game.
Speaker for the Dead is my favorite book of all time, so I'm hoping if this movie goes well, they'll consider doing that one. *fingers crossed*
My MIL will come for Thanksgiving, so hubs and I will have someone to stay with the kid while we go on a movie binge - our plan is to go to the theater in the morning and just leave the place late at night LOL
ReplyDeleteHowever, I'll take the kid to watch Frozen - I heard about it a few months ago and, well, I love anything from Disney ;)
I can't wait for Thor! So many good movies coming out soon!
ReplyDeleteThat X-Men trailer was awesome! Wow. Very dark. My husband and I might have one night out next month to see Thor if the movie time corresponds with the time Parents' Night Out is at my son's preschool. I haven't been to out at night to a movie since the last Thor! Wow, your name in lights looks terrific. :)
ReplyDeleteNo movies coming up that I'm super excited about, but then again I don't super excited about any movies like I used to.
ReplyDeleteLee
Tossing It Out
Thor is probably #1 for me, followed by Enders Game and Catching Fire. So many amazing movies coming out this season...
ReplyDeleteI adore The Hobbit. And I'd like to see Catching Fire, The Book Thief and Ender's Game. Ender's Game was such a powerful book for an MG - I wonder if they'll soften it up a bit for the screen.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the news!
I'm excited about a bunch of these movies! And I don't usually watch many movies. But I do want to see The Hobbit. And I really loved The Book Thief. Plus a few others on the list. :)
ReplyDeleteI HATED, HATED, HATED the freaking Book Thief and the massive hype around it. The fact that there's now a movie based on it makes me hate it even more, knowing it'll take twice as long for all the obnoxious squeeing to die down.
ReplyDeleteEnder's Game must be very different from the book, always the same. In reading the book imagine us in the film imagines the director!
ReplyDeleteYeah Thor!!! Woot woot! I can't believe these movies coming out. Finally a bunch of choices. Although I probably WON'T go to see The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. I'm with you. Box office will not suffer if I don't go.
ReplyDeleteWOWOWOW. Your name in lights. Love it. So cool!
That pumpkin is terrific. Gotta let the kids see that one.
That X-Men trailer is so bodacious! I cannot way till May.
Congrads to Madeline.
*waving*
I really love that X-Men trailer. THOR looks really good as well. November is certainly looking like a great movie month. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo many good movies coming out!! I forgot about the second part of The Hobbit. Can't wait to see it with my kids!
ReplyDeleteWolverine GOOD.
ReplyDeletePS: Lol on the Ding Dong thing.
David, Jeremy rocks!
ReplyDeleteRay, I wasn't bored...
Pat, three out of five!
Cathy, you got one right. Sorry, Hunger Games just didn't do it for me. I will watch Escape Plan on NetFlix though.
Rusty, you might have to see it... And you got three right!
Julie, you are not the only one!
Sandra, you are correct.
Ilima, I read it this past summer. It was all right.
Juliana, that sounds like a fun day to me!
Gwen, I wonder if they will make it more intense?
Thank, guys!
That's an impressive bit of carving.
ReplyDeleteThe hobbit movie has annoyed me already just because of the year gap and three bleeding installments but I digress!
ReplyDeleteI thought the first Hobbit movie was too long... I suspect the second one will be too.
ReplyDeleteWell... I Dr. J and Mr. H was written by Robert L. Stevenson the others... hmmm I'd have to look them up.
I loved The Book Thief. I wonder how they'll do on the movie. And I'm currently reading Ender's Game and having a hard time getting into it. I can't seem to identify with any of the characters.
I can't believe I can't name any of those authors. But, I think it'd be super cool for you to do more book genres for your trivia questions!
ReplyDeleteI loved The Book Thief, and can't wait to see the movie. I also look forward to seeing The Wolf of Wall Street. Thanks for the previews Alex!
ReplyDeleteJulie
Thor. Sigh. Marking my calendar.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize #1 was a book, just thought it was a movie...shame on me!
#2 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? #3 Stephen King? (I'm certain of these...not!) no, can't be, not in 1938! No clue. #4 also no clue...sounds like sci-fi and I rarely read it. #5 also no idea.
I'm a loser!!
November is definitely going to be a month for geeking out with all those movies. Do I still sound like an adult if I say I'm most looking forward to Frozen? They filled the cast with Broadway stars, I can't help myself!
ReplyDeleteIvy, glad the Ding Dong comment made you smile.
ReplyDeleteFran, but it will be so awesome when it's complete.
Bish, you're correct. I enjoyed Ender's Game, but I didn't think it was great.
Suze, I will make it happen.
Elizabeth, but you tried!
Sarah, those movies aren't just for kids!
I might be getting excited about Days. Bishop looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteI kind of wish The Hobbit would just go away. I'm starting to hate Jackson.
I'm so behind on movies. Looking forward to the Book Thief and Thor, especially.
ReplyDeleteL.G.'s pumpkin is so cool I can't even fathom it! Holy crow!
ReplyDeleteAnd boy- so many good movies coming out next month- which one to watch...?
Greetings human, Alex,
ReplyDeleteSuch an array of movies to look forward. As for The Hobbit, he lives just down the road from me.
Cool pumpkin or hot pumpkin. I'm confused, I thought Thanksgiving was early in October. Is there another one besides the Canadian one?
Nice one, Jeremy. My human is changing his name to "EXIT", because he always wanted to see his name in lights.
Pawsitive wishes,
Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar!
Oh, that trailer looks good. Holy casting budget!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in for THOR 2!!!
You got me on the authors. I would have to look them up.
Nice work Jeremy!
Heather
Thor, I'm all ready for you.
ReplyDeleteSo L.G. beat me to the dragon pumpkin. Ah, well, better luck next year. I'll make an L.G. pumpkin first, hahahaha.
Scroll down, more down, lower, lower, hello monster of the center of the earth! Three hours later...Oh, there it is!!! Very cool! :D
My kids are planning midnight premier parties for Enders Game and Hunger Games...I'm going to be tired! :)
ReplyDeletePretty much, I want to see every movie on your list. I'm seeing Thor next Wednesday and I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to Ender's Game, The Book Thief, the next Hobbit movie, and Catching Fire.
ReplyDeleteAnd, no doubt, I'll be seeing the Thor flick because my guys are really looking forward to it.
The Book Thief sounds very interesting esoecially since my mom witnessed book burnings by the nazis and then by the Russians. I really want to see the X-men and The Hobbit-The trailers are very cool. I know Robert Louis Stevenson(or is it Stephenson)-OK my spelling really really sucks and i am sorry that I defame a major writer like that and JR Tolkein wrote the 2 towers and The Hobbit and LOTR which one day i will read. I found it really cool that Christopher Lee started reading LOTR back in the early 50's and has read those books every single year after. Peter jackson would go to him for advice when maiing the first films. Love the Dragon Pumpkin!!! Goes with my card:)
ReplyDeleteSome really great movies coming up! I might actually have to make it over to the theater. :) Looking forward to several of them...think my kids will, too.
ReplyDeleteMe wants that pumpkin!!!! Yes, my pumpkin addiction is getting out of control, heh.
ReplyDeleteThank you for introducing Madeline short story collection. It sounded very interesting, and so I went to Amazon and downloaded it to my Kindle. Looking forward to reading it.
Ahhhh, both of the movie trailers are fantastic. I should be working on the last edits for my upcoming Almost Matched, instead of gaping at Orlando, but... sigh, I have a crush ;)
Aw, thanks for sharing the picture of my pumpkin! Now I feel special!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween!
The trailers look awesome! I should buy myself some time to watch The Hobbit at a movie theatre. I have to find some good excuse while won't bring my children to this movie with me.
ReplyDeleteI haven't got high expectations towards the Ender's game. The book was great, but according to the trailer the film looks an YA adaptation.
Thor... I hope it will good, but who knows.
(If you interest about board games, then I can recommend you some good ones.)
I must see Thor ;D
ReplyDeleteLG's pumpkin is cool!
You are well lit..I mean illuminated ;D
Fun post! I know what I want for to do on Black Friday-movie marathon!
All those great looking movies and I'm going, "Yay, Patrick Stewart is back on X-Men!"
ReplyDeleteThe X-Men trailer looks good. I'm not too interested in the next Hobbit movie. I was really disappointed with the first part. Which surprised me. I am easily entertained, but the fact they kept jumping from the story of The Hobbit to tie it into LotR jarred me from the movie each time.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Madeline! Wicked pumpkin skills by LG.
ReplyDeleteThat trailer for the Hobbit was great. The dragon is fierce.
Absolutely have some great movies on my list for the coming months. Can't wait for X-Men--I so love this franchise. And Enders Game has me crossing me crossing my fingers it's good!
ReplyDeleteBeverly, all the good ones!
ReplyDeleteGary, ours is next month. And clever - you will see your name in light everywhere.
Al, an LG pumpkin would be funny.
Raquel, yes you will be!
Birgit, you really need to write a book about that...
Angela, enjoy your crush.
LG, it was an awesome pumpkin!
Zoltan, I know they say Ender's Game is young adult, but I don't buy it. And always looking for new board games.
Ella, if I'm lit, then I probably shouldn't be blogging...
I am looking forward the Xmen and Hobbit but first I get to enjoy Thor.
ReplyDeleteGreat trailers. There are some great movies coming out. Congrats to Madeline! And L.G., that's one awesome pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteI can remember part of the names on a few of those... drawing a blank on the the full names, though.
Pumped to see Ender! But the one I'm most looking forward to is The Book Thief. A gut wrenching read, but one that should be on everyone's list.
ReplyDeleteJust caught the X Men trailer yesterday and can't wait! Glad to have Singer back in charge of the franchise. :)
I need to add a bunch of these movies to my Netflix list for sure. I like those Wall Street thrillers so The Wolf goes to the top of the list.
ReplyDeleteL.G.'s pumpkin carving is amazing! It must have required an awful lot of patience.
The X-Men trailer looks amazing. I love that they are bringing together Past and Present:)
ReplyDeleteI still want to see Thor and I guess I will have to go watch Catching Fire for you... hahahaha.
Anything by Martin Scorsese is usually pretty good, and I like the sounds of Wolf. The flash fiction piece looks very interesting too. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWe always knew your name would be in lights one day.
EJ, yes it is!
ReplyDeleteRobin, yes, watch it for me so I don't have to...
Thanks, Yvonne!
Well, I'm going to see Catching Fire. I'm definitely more excited to see that than anything (although Thor 2 is a close second).
ReplyDeleteI know 1 is William Peter Blatty and 5 is HP Lovecraft, but I don't know about the rest. I haven't even heard of 3 or 4.
Not a big fan of X-Men, but that trailer looks interesting. I am excited to see 'Enders Game', although OSC already warned us that they have changed it. I'll probably see 'Catching Fire' just because, ev3en thought I'm not a big fan of the 'Hunger Games'.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't find your name in lights, but that's probably because I was reading on my phone. I'll have to go back on the computer and check.
Trivia - Ha, ha, ha!
I want to see the Hunger Games too, but it'll have to wait until the DVD. The books were quite awesome.
ReplyDeleteNotice how none of them X-guys get any older? Guess that's something to do with their mutated powers, don't you think. I need mutated powers, Alex.
2: Robert Louis Stevenson.
ReplyDeleteErrr... that's it. :P
Congrats to Madeleine... that sounds great, and I don't know how Laura did that with a pumpkin!
Can't believe it's nearly time for The Hobbit 2... this year has really flown.
There are no words to express how excited I am about the new X-Men. It'd be hard to top the other movies, but it looks like it might! And I'm interested to see The Book Thief as I just finished reading it. And what? No Catching Fire for you??? hahaha . . . LOVE your name in light!
ReplyDeleteBryan Singer, by far the best X-Director, back together with Jackman, McKellan and Stewart. Oh happy day! Here's hoping he brings the old magic back to the franchise.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteThor is on top of my To-watch list-- that guy is so gorgeous!! ;)
Thanks for all this lovely trivia Alex. Apologies for not being a regular visitor, I've been unwell.
Both trailers are wonderful! I can't wait to see The Hobbit.
ReplyDeleteThat last book is H.P. Lovecraft. I love everything he wrote.
JE, you got two!
ReplyDeleteJoylene, those powers would be nice...
Nick, got one!
Jamie, sorry, just not my thing.
Diane, correct!
There are so many movies waiting for me to see them! I think this might be my busiest movie time of year. I also loved the trailers. :)
ReplyDelete~Jess
Thor is a definite as is X-Men and I want to see the Hobbit movies. I passed on the first Hunger Games--no interest in the second, Enders Game--like to see how it's handled in a movie I enjoyed the book, Pass on Wolf, probably see Book Thief on DVD.
ReplyDeleteThat is one cool looking pumpkin dragon, LG!
Jeremy is also quite talented.:-)
Sia McKye Over Coffee
I am looking forward to see The Wolf of Wall Street and Catching Fire. 1) Blatty 3) I would say King, but definitely not that year. 5) Lovecraft
ReplyDeleteI totally did a fangirl "squee" when I saw the new X Men trailer. There are soooo many new movies coming out that I can't wait to see. AND I get to see them without having to wait a month...or three. xD
ReplyDeleteHey, Alex,
ReplyDeletehad to drop by and say hi.... So crazed trying to get all my posts done before leaving. Two day to COLOMBIA... Hey, that can be the name of a movie... LOL...
Looking forward to seeing the Hobbit and Thor movies. Hopefully when I get back...
I will visit every chance I can...
Sorry to be so late to visit, Alex. I kept trying to respond at work, but kept getting bounced out -- for some reason. I love how intricate LG's dragon pumpkin is. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Halloween.
xoRobyn
I want to see several of these movies.
ReplyDeleteI saw a recent interview with the Portman and Hemsworth, and she revealed that the difference in their height is so great (she's tiny!), she approached him in one scene by walking up an unseen ramp. Even then she was a foot shorter than him.
Wow the new X-Men movie sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely going to see Thor and Ender's Game. :-)
Do you think they changed the ending of Ender's Game? The ending in the book MADE the story.
ReplyDeleteSoooo looking forward to XMen
Sia, not interested in the second Hunger Games either. Didn't like the first one, but then I haven't read the books.
ReplyDeleteMichael, you got two!
Michael, or the name of a book! Have an awesome time in Columbia.
Robyn, no worries.
Helena, that's funny.
Lynda, rumor has it they did change it...
This is going to be an expensive movie month! We have to see the Hobbit, Hunger Games and Thor.
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple of movies I'd be interested in checking out. Your name in lights looks good. : )
ReplyDeleteWow, some really amazing movies coming out this month. I am reading The Book Thief right now and it is sooo good. I hope Enders Game can live up to the book, too. Your name in lights is pretty cool, too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween, Cap'n!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely see the second Hobbit movie, might see Ender's Game (although I'm suspicious of how they're going to Hollywood-ify the story), and will probably wait until video release if I see any others.
I also thought L.G's pumpkin was awesome!
And book authors:
1. William Peter Blattey (not sure if spelled right). One of the scariest books I ever read as a young teen. Completely freaked me out for days afterwards. Took a while before I saw the movie.
2. Robert Louis Stevenson. Long-standing classic.
3. Well, there was the Stephen King series, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't written in 1938. No idea who may have written something then -- although it's about the time JRR Tolkien came out with his LotR series, but none had that title.
4. No idea. Never heard of it...
5. Not sure here either. I started strong, but seemed to have fizzled out with the second half of the quiz, lol!
But I am happy you enjoyed the latest tune I put up on my blog. ;^)
Have a great Halloween!
I literally never get excited about new movies...
ReplyDeleteBut the Hobbit, AND Ender's Game AND Catching Fire!!?!?! All at once??!!
Too much!
What a freaking awesome trailer for Desolation.
#perma-grin
I really want to see "The Wolf of Wall Street" and of course Thor. The X-Men trailer left a sour taste in my mouth because of the recycled music, but you already know that. I dunno, it just hit all the wrong keys for me and put me on edge. Of course, I'll still go see it because it's Marvel but whatever.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to see Thor tomorrow. My son made me watch the first one this morning so I know what's going on - he's taking a personal interest in my Marvel education!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Madeline - what a fantastic cover her book has!
Count me in for Thor, X-Men, and Catching Fire (I'm pretty sure they will survive if you don't go lol)
ReplyDeleteCool carving from L.G. ;)
This fall/winter is going to be super busy with all those movies I needs to watch!
ReplyDeleteI'd really like to see the Book Thief. I bet it will be a great movie!
ReplyDeleteChris, you got two right. And the riff was really good. I need to look into uploading one of mine. Not so good, but hey...
ReplyDeleteDavid, that made me laugh!
Michael, the music sounded good to me.
Annalisa, at least you will know what is happening.
Thanks guys! Jeremy did a great job with the lights.
Looks like a great month for movies! I have been enjoying a couple of TV series as well, American Horror story is very good this season and Sleepy Hollow has promise, enjoy....enjoy, holiday treats for the season!
ReplyDeleteAs a total dork, I'm really excited to see X-Men, The Hobbit, Thor, etc. Minus the Hunger Games, which I just was never able to get into.
ReplyDeleteI carved a pumpkin this year, too. It's called "forgot to carve it so it's rotting away on the front porch." It's, uh, modern art because it's ironic. Or something like that.
Oh, man, so many great films coming out. Ender's Game, X-Men, the Hobbit II...what a difference from last year:)
ReplyDeleteI've got to see some of those movies! Thanks for stopping by my blog- it's been awhile and I'm starting to get into the swing again.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to see ENDER'S GAME for very sure. I too, want to see what they do with it since they've already started with making him too old... And Harrison Ford? Really? Looks nothing like his character's description in the book. Oh well, could still be good. And of course the Hobbit is a must see. I'll check out the others as I haven't heard of them. Thanks Alex!!!
ReplyDeleteForgot to say I'd also see the X-Men! Looks good, though I'm a bit tired of everyone being so depressed.
ReplyDeleteInteresting The Wolf of Wall Street!
ReplyDeleteMy little man and I are really looking forward to another X men film! Nothing like a sexy superhero :)
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for The Hobbit #2!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNovember is going to be an AWESOME month. I am so excited about every movie on your list. I cannot wait.
ReplyDeleteBrandon and Bryan, modern art works! I never got into the Hunger Games either.
ReplyDeleteRose, we've missed you!
Lisa, we'll see what they do with it.
I adored The Book Thief, so looking forward to that one. That Wolf of Wall Street looks good too.
ReplyDeleteThe Book Thief is on my to-read list. Looks like I'll need to get it done before the movie!
ReplyDeleteThose movie trailers look great! I can't wait to see both movies. First, though, Thor!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing Enders Games too.
Of Course I googled them except for the Exocist.
William Blatty-The Exorcist Robert Louis Stevenson-Dr.Jeykl & Mr. Hyde CS Lewis-The Dark Tower Tim Powers-The Anubis Gates HP Lovecraft-At The Mountain of Madness.
Words fail to describe the excitement I feel!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Book Thief coming in film. Oh my goodness. That is an awesome book.
I like Wolverine better without his arms all covered up like that. What the heck is that? I don't like that.
ReplyDeletePS: Gotta tell ya, I am enjoying Feedly a great deal. Especially for coupon updates and reading. So much faster, I cannot even say thanks enough for doing that post on it awhile back.
Happy Oogie Boogie Day

Thanks for the upcoming movies list. I did not know The Book Thief was coming out as a movie. I love that book!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm -really- excited about The Hobbit. The first part really grabbed me...and I hated the book.
ReplyDeleteI have Ender's Game loaded up on the Kindle Fire....just have to find time to read it :)
YOU aren't a Hunger Games Trilogy fan? Be still my heart...
ReplyDeleteThat was a great GREAT PUMPKIN. Linus would be proud.
Tina @ Life is Good
Seeing Enders Game tomorrow! We barely survived October with the lame movie selections . . . now we'll be seeing a fun movie every week! Yeah!
ReplyDeleteAnd that dragon pumpkin is ah-MAZING.
Sorry for the late appearance.
ReplyDeleteThe Book Thief was the best book I read last year.
I heard that it would be made into a movie. The time has now arrived...
I'm wondering how it's going to translate to the screen... the story style is very unique with lots of little interesting snippets of info thrown in between the narrative... lots of adaptation for this one...
I CAN'T WAIT FOR X-MEN!!! But I must. lol
ReplyDeleteLots of great stuff happening. I loved "The Book Thief." I saw the trailer and have great hopes for the movie!
ReplyDeleteA lot of movies coming out! I haven't read Ender's Game but I'm wondering if I should wait until after I see the movie. I haven't heard of Frozen until just now. I guess giving movies one word titles is a thing now (Brave)?
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the new books coming out, I will try not to forget the Insecure Writers on Wednesday also the blogfest on Friday.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week-end,
Yvonne.
That pumpkin is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI really want to see the new X-Men movie. I liked the last one with that current cast.
First off, how very cool to see your name in lights.
ReplyDelete-I'm very much looking forward to the next X-Men movies, but I refuse to watch trailer of it or any other movie I know for sure I want to see in the theaters. I must have 100% anticipation to see movies now, I've spoiled myself too much in the past.
-I too am interested to see what happens with the Ender movie.
I heard that Ender's Game was an okay movie, but I hope it's at least okay.
ReplyDeleteI'm very, very excited for The Book Thief. It is one of my favorite books that I've ever read.
As for Catching Fire, I'm reasonably excited. Hopefully they didn't completely mess it up.
The Hobbit...of course I can hardly wait!
I hadn't even heard of Frozen before. It's sure to be epic. Right.
And that's a seriously epic pumpkin. Much more epic than Frozen.
