2010 is upon us, and Hollywood's going to have to bust their asses to top last year's lineup of great flicks. January's releases start things off on a good foot, so you're not left trying to decide whether to see Avatar for a fourth time. We've got your comedy, we've got your vampire flicks... hell, we've even got Denzel as an ass-kicking post-apocalyptic drifter. Check out the full lineup below!
Daybreakers
Release Date: January 8, 2010
Director: Peter Spierig, Michael Spierig
Starring: Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, Claudia Karvan
Rating: R
The In the year 2017, an unknown plague has changed the world's population into vampires. As humanity dies off, the vampires much capture and farm the remaining humans or die themselves, unless they find a blood substitute. But a covert group of vampires makes a surprising discovery that may just save the human race.
CraveOnline's Call: To hell with the Twilight franchise - if you're looking for a vampire movie where the blood-suckers don't sparkle in the daytime and fall in love with utterly boring high school chicks, you've come to the right place.
Bitch Slap
Release Date: January 8, 2010
Director: Rick Jacobsen
Starring: Lucy Lawless, Kevin Sorbo, Renee O'Connor, America Olivo
Rating: R
What is this, a Hercules meets Xena flick? Not hardly. Three bad girls looking to steal $200 million in diamonds from a ruthless kingpin arrive at a remote desert hideaway to find more than they bargained for. Things get heated as double-crosses ensue and other criminals arrive for the score. The fate of the world happens to hang in the balance, as well as the discovery that one of them may not even be human.
CraveOnline's Call: Sounds like a blast to us. A cheap and sleazy one, but a blast nonetheless.
Youth In Revolt
Release Date: January 8, 2010
Director: Miguel Arteta
Starring: Michael Cera, Ray Liotta, Zach Galifianakis, Jean Smart
Rating: R
14 year-old Nick has all the odds against him: his trailer-trash parents act like teenagers, and his dream girl, Sheeni Saunders, has a boyfriend and couldn't possibly be interested in trading down. Determined to make her the one to take his virginity and desperate for a boost to his self-esteem, Nick creates a "supplementary persona" named Francois Dillinger. He's suave, he's got a mustache, and he's a stick of dynamite to Nick's quiet little world.
CraveOnline's Call: This looks amazingly funny. It's the film we've been waiting to see from Michael Cera.
