I'd like to see Underworld...I'm not a huge fan, as I know there are some, but I enjoyed the first two. I'd really like to see Killshot, guess I'll have to wait for a wide release for that...can't make it to Phoenix this weekend.

Inkheart sounds like it might be good. I'll probably just wait until it comes out and rent it though.
