UPDATED September 24, 2008 at 1:00pm:
“Release Dates Are Subject to Change” … glad I added that to this list… because one date change pushed a movie completely out of the Fall/Winter season… “Taken” moves from September 19th to January 23rd !!! Also moving: “Crossing Over” moves from October 24th to December 3rd and “Blindness” moves from September 26th to October 3rd.
That means “Blindness” moves into to my “15 to See”:
“Blindness” (October 3rd) - everyone is going blind.. except for Julianne Moore… sounds crazy!
.
And that means “The Lucky Ones” (September 26-limited release) moves on to my “Honorable Mentions” list…
Rachel McAdams, Tim Robbins, and Michael Peña star as three soldiers that meet one another as they have all returned from Iraq, and circumstance unites them for a road trip across the country.

“Righteous Kill” (September 12th)
I was ready for this one as soon as they announced Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino would be in the movie together … and they are both police officers.. and the trailer solidified it for me!

Plot: Two veteran New York City detectives (De Niro and Pacino) work to identify the possible connection between a recent murder and a case they believe they solved years ago; is there a serial killer on the loose, and did they perhaps put the wrong person behind bars?
