-----First up, yet another vampire flick arrives in 'Daybreakers.' This one has a strong cast in Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe, and could possibly be an enjoyable action film. Then there's the romantic comedy 'Leap Year,' listed partially because I know that my theater's getting it, and partially because it's actually filmed in Ireland, so it could be a mildly enjoyable chick flick. After all, Amy Adams had a pretty solid track record last year with 'Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian' and 'Julie & Julia.' Also that week is Michael Cera vehicle 'Youth in Revolt.' This coud be an entertaingin little comedy, and the dual personality spin should offer a new take on Cera's typical routine. The next week, only one film catches my eye; the postapocalyptic action flick 'The Book of Eli.' The veteran acting talents of Denzel Washington ('The Taking of Pelham 123') and Gary Oldman ('The Dark Knight') may very well elevate it to something beyond mediocre action fare. The 22nd of January brings a seemingly similar film to the table in the Angels vs. Humans action flick, 'Legion.' Despite its blatant premise flaws, it could be an OK action film, seeing as it stars the immensely likable Paul Bettany of one of my all time favorite films, the ultimate crowd pleaser that is, 'A Knight's Tale.' Rounding out the month is 'The Edge of Darkness,' marking the return of Mel Gibson to acting. It basically looks like 'Taken 2: Boston Brawl,'with the poster, release date (see the link to Jaunary 2009's 'Upcoming Potential' section below, which was actually the very first ever 'Potential' entry) and premise resembling last year's entertaining revenge flick 'Taken.' Hopefully it will pack more of a storytelling punch than 'Taken' though, as the trailer does seem to suggest (although in reality its trailer isn't even on par with 'Taken's exceptional trailer campaign). And that's it, a surprisingly full pallet for the dumping ground that January usually is. And one bonus of January, the films aren't always marketed for six months in advance, so there's the occasional chance of surprise hits and whatnot, always a nice bonus when you see as many films as I do.
