September is usually a time of year where Hollywood is preparing for its next wave of movies, these movies are aimed at the older more mature audience member and are more likely to garner Academy Award nominations. This is the time of year where as an adult you will find something of interest at your local movie house. Just how many of these will become blockbusters is yet to be seen, though these are the movies that we will be looking at and saying that one is the best picture of the year. As of today Hollywood has released close to two hundred movies and sadly you can count on one finger the truly great films. Hopefully one of these movies listed below will induce you into making such a statement.
September brings horror and comedy, bio's and cartoons, Gerard Butler in an action movie where he belongs and Tyler Perry once again in a dress. Will any of these releases make the top ten list, probable not but they may just entertain the heck out of you.

October brings laughter and lunacy, history and the end of the world, also lots and lots of horror movies, it is of course the month for them. Looking at the list there doesn't seem to be many that may capture the Academies attention, that's not to say that none of these will be good, I can see at least half a dozen must see movies on the list.

Very few of these will be blockbusters but a few will be showing for awhile, Martin Scorsese is sure to entertain the viewers while other directors will be hoping to just get their shot at entertaining you. If you are a fan of horror movies this is the time to rejoice, several horror movies are about to hit the big screen and several remakes are on the way. Of course this list, like any other is tentative. Hollywood can and will make several changes before the release dates. Several of the limited movies may not open in every city. Do you think Hollywood has forgotten the concept of originality?
The next few months of the year will be aimed at the adult movie goer so go out and enjoy these movies, as an adult we only get a few months out of each year where we can actually look forward to going to the movies again. Gerard Butler will draw the action fans and Megan Fox will draw her own kind of fans, October also brings the LONG awaited release of The Road, I for one can't wait to see this movie. Maybe I will see you there, until then, sit back enjoy the movies and oh yeah read our blog for these movie reviews and much more.
UPDATE: Martin Scorsese has pushed the release of Shutter Island back to 2010. This was one of the most anticipated movies of 2009. A sure Academy Award contender and is a loss to movie goers. At a time that movies just plain suck, we could have used a thriller of this caliber. The Road has been moved to November 25th, this makes no sense that a movie of this type will now be released at Thanksgiving?
