My Must-Sees for the rest of the year

Iron Man 2

The first one was a whole lot of fun, so hopefully this won't suffer from the curse of the sequel. With Sam Rockwell in it, it's gotta be a little different, although I'm not so sure about Scarlett Johanssen, who's usually rather bland, and Mickey Rourke putting on a Russian accent. Fingers crossed it won't be another Spiderman 3.
Australian Release Date: April 29

Toy Story 3

It's Pixar. I have to see it.
24 June

Scott Pilgrim vs The World

Based on the Scott Pilgrim comics, where teen Scott literally has to fight for his girlfriend's affections. Who's he fighting? Her 7 evil ex-boyfriends, of course. Michael Cera is Scott Pilgrim, so he's bound to be likeable (if a little Michael Cera-ish).
26 August

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (and Part 2, of course)

Having seen the previous 6 films and read all the books, I think I'm legally obliged to watch this. Looking forward to seeing Bill Nighy (as Rufus Scrimgeour) join the usual cast. And I wonder what bits of the book they're going to chop out/leave in?

Megamind

Will Ferrell stars in this Dreamworks animation as a supervillain who can't cope with having defeated his arch-rival. I think Will Ferrell should stick to voice acting (god, some of his comedies are awful). He sounds great in the trailer for this, and he is joined by Brad Pitt, Tina Fey and Jonah Hill in the voice cast. What a brilliantly stellar combination. Yeah, trailer's a bit lame, but this could still be good.
December 9

The Green Hornet

Michel Gondry directing a super hero movie? With Seth Rogen as the superhero? Sounds awesome.
