15 reasons to go to the movies in 2009











It looks like a big year for Matt Damon

Not counting his cameos in “Che” and “Youth Without Youth,” Damon hasn’t been on screen since “The Bourne Ultimatum,” but he’ll be back in action in a big way in ‘09 (just not in another Bourne movie quite yet). He reunites with “Ocean’s Eleven” director Steven Soderbergh for the darkly comic thriller “The Informant” (Sept. 18, pictured) and “Bourne” director Paul Greengrass for the Iraq war action drama “Green Zone” (TBD). Then he takes a supporting role opposite Morgan Freeman’s Nelson Mandela in Clint Eastwood’s “The Human Factor” (Dec. TBD).

Damon is also rumored to be lending his voice to Disney’s English-language dub of the latest from Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki, “Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea” (TBD), and he’s part of the cast of “You Can Count On Me” director Kenneth Lonergan’s long-delayed “Margaret” (TBD), which may (or may not) finally hit theaters this year.
