Hillary Swank as Amelia Earhart

Here's a look at the poster for the upcoming Oscar contender biopic Amelia, starring Hilary Swank as the title character, Richard Gere, Ewan McGregor, Virginia Madsen, and Christopher Eccleston. It looks like Hilary Swank is going for Oscar number three, as the stills I've seen of the movie look amazing. Especially with the makeup that makes her appear very thin and weathered looking, much like the real Amelia Earhart. I'm looking forward to seeing how they'll portray Amelia Earhart, and her dream to be the first woman to fly around the world in this film.

With such a cast and director Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding) at the helm, the movie has Oscar-contender written all over it, a growing field that's just starting to heat up. Enjoy the poster and first looks from the film, and make sure to catch the first theatrical trailer for the film over at Popzara Blogs while you can.

Get ready for Amelia to take to the skies on October 23, 2009!

	Battleship (2012) Better than the Transformers trilogy in the same way that having a cold is better than having the flu; thoughtlessly inundated with action and effects, and generally free from any semblance of plot, character development, or theme.

	What to Expect When You're Expecting (2012) Another unfortunate example of what happens when real self-help book advice is applied to the plot of a romantic comedy, with no truth to any of the characters - they’re more like byproducts from a particularly bad sitcom pilot.

	The Samaritan (2012) a taut, suspenseful, intelligently structured thriller that pays homage to con movies without having to spoof them; represents a dying breed of crime thriller in which character and plot take precedence over action and special effects.

	Hysteria (2012) A bright, funny, hopelessly endearing film that benefits greatly from the sheer likeability of its actors; an exuberantly charming comedy, but also a surprisingly compelling depiction of a world in transition.

	Beyond the Black Rainbow (2012) A triumph of craft, not so much in regards to flashy special effects but more so along the lines of camera tricks, set design, and avant-garde approaches to editing.

	Awesomenauts (PSN, XBLA) Crazy, silly, and still accessible even to those who have never set foot inside any type of game remotely similar to DOTA or even the lesser Monday Night Combat.

	Prototype 2 (Xbox 360, PS3) While the combat is satisfying enough, it feels like a marginal update, with an angrier protagonist, plenty of coarse, unnecessary language, and a veil of angst so thick you could cut with a knife.
