A few surprises to be found for sure. I know that it’s a big year with THE HOBBIT, THE AVENGERS and THE DARK KNIGHT RISES all coming out, but I figured TDKR would be on top. Perhaps I’ve just been spending too much time around this site, so I have a skewed view. And really, men? MEN IN BLACK III? Women, we knew you would pick TWILIGHT, but it’s good to see you appreciate superheroes and hobbits as well.

As for the remakes? I have a hard time believing that ANYONE thinks MIRROR MIRROR looks good, especially when you compare it to the far superior trailer for SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNSTMAN. And people are that pumped about THE GREAT GATSBY? Really? OK then.

Anything else strange you see, or don’t see?
