As the first official Hollywood weekend is finally here with three new movies out this week, let's take a look at what are the most anticipated flicks that are expected to take in our hard-earned $$$ this year:
1. Kick-Ass - Will the early buzz on this film put it in the same category as the Dark Knight, Spiderman 2 and Iron Man as greatest comic films ever?
2. The Expendables - Sly, Bruce and Arnold. 'Nuff said!
3. Iron Man 2 - If it's even half as good as the first one, we'll be in for a treat.
4. Machete - Finally, the first of the Grindhouse trailers to be made into a major film. Bonus: R. Rodriguez is directing.
5. Piranha 3-D - Death by piranhas in 3-D!!!
6. Toy Story 3 - It's a Pixar film.
7. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World - The next Edgar Wright film to come out after cult classics Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz!
8. Paul - The next Pegg/Frost collaboration to come out after cult classics Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz!
9. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One - Let's hope this doesn't drag as much as the last movie.
10. A Nightmare on Elm Street - If only we can expect this to be on par if not exceed the quality of last year's Friday the 13th remake.
10.5 Area 51 - Paranormal Activity 2?
saw the Kick-Ass trailer before Daybreakers... I have to admit, you got one right at least, EBR!!

Opens: January 5th 2010
A down-and-out stripper, a drug-running killer and a corporate powerbroker arrive at a remote desert hideaway to extort money from a ruthless underworld kingpin. As allegiances change, truths are revealed and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
Described as a parody and homage to exploitation cinema of the 50's to 70's, the film has been playing the festival circuit to good reviews and was said to have had Roger Ebert chuckling along.
There's spontaneous water fights, lipstick lesbian make-out sessions, an evil Japanese school girl, double entendres galore and cameos by many of those involved on "Xena" and "Hercules".
