Films to look forward to in 2010

Whether it’s The A-Team or even the Karate Kid remake that you can’t wait for in 2010, see SoGlos.com’s selection of top releases coming to a Gloucestershire cinema near you.

From budget-blowing blockbusters to indie film festival winners, 2010 sees some highly-anticipated titles taking to big screen – and we don’t want you to miss out.

There’s a flurry of 80s remakes with The A-Team and Footloose leading the way; animations to make children big and small smile including Toy Story 3 in 3D and the final instalment of the big green ogre in Shrek Forever After; and, who could forget, more Harry Potter to look forward to for starters this year.

And while already packed with titles to get the pulses racing in 2010, SoGlos.com’s guide to the top new films will be updated with even more juicy movie releases coming to cinemas in Gloucestershire throughout the year.

Top films in September 2010

The Other Guys out on Thursday 2 September 2010

Following a long (and hopefully hot) summer of film releases, September isn’t looking like it will be the most inspiring of months cinematically-speaking, with the exception perhaps of The Other Guys.

Mark Wahlberg will be donning a police uniform again, but this time with funnyman Will Ferrell as his partner in crime-fighting, in the cop comedy of year.

Top films in October 2010

Mr. Nice out on Thursday 8 October 2010

Welsh wonder Rhys Ifans takes on the role of Howard Marks in the British biopic about the infamous drug smuggler turned festival speaker.

Jackass 3D out on Thursday 15 October 2010

While old enough to know better now perhaps, the Jackass (ahem) lads are back on the big screen and are offering audiences, who are also probably old enough to know better, the chance to see their new – predictably lethal – pranks played out in full three-dimensional glory.

Top films in November 2010

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 out on Thursday 19 November 2010

The wait will be over (well, almost) for the final instalment of the Harry Potter saga – which sees Harry, Ron and Hermione go in search of Horcruxes to defeat Voldemort away from relatively comfy surrounds of Hogwarts.

And while JK Rowling’s readers have known the eventual fate of Harry and his magical friends for a few years now, film fans will have to wait until July 2011 for Part 2 of the Deathly Hallows – the final, final part of the story.

Top films in December 2010

Gulliver's Travels – out on Thursday 22 December 2010

With Jack Black taking the larger than life role of the travel-writing giant, it doesn’t take a genius to work out that Gulliver’s Travels is set to be a firm family favourite for the festive season.

And with the island of Lilliput’s little inhabitants including Catherine Tate and James Corden there are big hopes for belly laughs from the rest of the cast too.
