30 Dec

Posted by Tom Andries as News, TV and Movies, Top 5

From Apple to The Smurfs, from Iron Man 2 to Fairtrade or Nicolas Cage? They’re all included in our comprehensive 2010 prediction list!

1. Apple’s style & ease of use will continue to amaze.
Steve Jobs & co will continue to outperform and sell heaps of iPhones & Macbooks. Apple inc will continue to innovate with the launch of their iTablet while giving Apple TV a much needed revamp. The latter two will play very nice together too.

2. 2010 will be the breakthrough year for Blu-ray. Stores will dump their DVD racks make the switch as consumer demand rises. Hardware manufacturers will follow suit.

3. Sony will be the comeback kid with its PS3. Prices will fall and consumers will notice this is the most valuable game console around.

4. Powered by a more conscious and demanding consumer base, the automobile industry will finally start to put more emphasis on innovations and will think outside the box. Resulting in the first usable and payable green cars, new safety standards and more userfriendly features.

5. Also coming to blu-ray, iTunes, Apple TV, cereal boxes and a big screen near you? The Smurfs 3D!
It’ll revive the franchise and result in new TV cartoons and follow up movies.

6. These movies will smash onto the big screen in 2010 and become blockbuster hits!

Marvel’s Iron Man 2 starring the fantastic Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke, Samuel L. Jackson and Gwyneth Paltrow will smash boxoffice returns of its predecessor.

If not postponed yet again “The A-Team” will be another TV series that’s revived succesfully as a movie franchise.

Sylvester Stallone will hit it big thanks to a little help from his friends thanks to “The expendables” starring: Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan will surprise us again with “Inception” starring Leonardo Dicaprio.

Finally to conclude our top 5: “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” will generate some much needed cash for Nicolas Cage and haul a better than expected run at the boxoffice.

And off course, the new episode in the Twilight Saga will hit it big once again.
But that’s hardly a prediction is it? The release date for Twilight: Eclipse is penned down for June 30th.

And what about us? The people… well, it’s “Yes we can!” all the way.

7. More and more people will start using both their heart and brain. Fairtrade and green consciousness will rise remarkably. Charity will become the next “cool” thing as unfortunately more and more deadly disasters will occur.

8. Green technology, solar and wind amongst others will be rolled out on a massive scale in some parts of the world…

9. Wellness, mindfullness, BIO-products will be all the rage!

10. And maybe partly because of the wellness trend more and more people will book getaways. Travel companies, airlines & cruiselines will up prices and smile all the way to the bank.
So happy holidays for 2010!
