No.2 - The Tree of Life
《生命之樹》
It took Terrence Malick 30 years to make four movies, so when the lyrical director of Days of Heaven has a new project on the way, consider that an event. It stars Brad Pitt and Sean Penn, two of our most accomplished characteractors, and it’s about… god knows what. The period piece, set around the 1950s, has a plot that has been kept top secret. The only official tidbit reveals that the film revolves around a boy’s loss of innocence.But rumors are circulating, and they say Tree of Life is Malick’s most ambitious project to date. It may or may not have segments that deal with the prehistoric or even evolution (Tree of Life, get it) and itmay be released in IMAX. True or not, just the suggestion of Terrence Malick’s spectacular visuals in IMAX gets us tickled with anticipation。

No.1 - The Matarese Circle
《恐怖黑手》
Denzel Washington can get pretty boring, as he’s often playing the same role in different movies. Tom Cruise can get pretty creepy, just in general. But you have to cut the two stars some slack. When they want to be good --Washington in Training Day and Cruise in Magnolia -- they’re damn good.Both Washington and Cruise go head-to-head as two archrival spies, one American and the other Russian, who must gain each other’s trust inorder to fight a common enemy called the Matarese. It’s an adaptation of a Robert Ludlum novel, the author who conceived Jason Bourne, so expect some riveting high-wire espionage and intense tête-à-têtes. But what has us ecstatic is director David Cronenberg, who’s molding the screen play to his perversely brilliant taste. So expect a spy thriller that dissects the sex appeal in brutality a la A History of Violence。
