Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2010: Todd Phillips’ Due Date
With The Hangover might have put more money in Todd Phillips' bank account, but I'm thinking it'll give him more creative freedom to do as he pleases - and the best Phillips is an uncensored one. Galifianakis re-teams with Phillips, and the Monaghan and Downey Jr. reunion (Kiss KIss Bang Bang) assure the best chemistry possible for what Phillips does best: the road movie.
Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2010: Im Sang-soo’s The Housemaid
You won't find many remakes on this 100 list, but take an original idea and re-configure the role assignments and you've got my approval.

Swooning to a New Toon: Likely Story’s Bregman Grabs Stake in Top Shelf
It's pretty obvious that Hollywood has a huge interest in the super heros that spill out of the pages of your typical comic book, and while I'm aware that there is an alternative graphic novel industry that serves a huge following, beyond the small sampling of American Splendor, Ghost World and Art School Confidential, I'm clueless as to why Indiewood would be interested in the graphic novel/comic book form.
