Now I must admit I am the impatient kind and seeing all the potentially great movies lining up over the next four or five months makes me want to see them all now.

But sadly I, along with everyone else, are just going to have to wait until these movies finally roll into cinemas. We have already taken a look at some of the upcoming releases that have to be a must see but it doesn't stop there!

- The American - In recent years George Clooney has showed that he is a real acting heavyweight with the likes of Good Night & Good Luck, which he also directed, Michael Clayton and Up In The Air, picking up Best Director and Best Actor nods along the way.

And he could be in for another as The American is his latest project which sees him team up with Control filmmaker Anton Corbijn - could it be another Oscar nomination for the actor?

Alone among assassins, Jack is a master craftsman. When a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this American abroad, he vows to his contact Larry that his next assignment will be his last.

Jack reports to the Italian countryside, where he holes up in a small town and relishes being away from death for a spell. The assignment, as specified by a Belgian woman, Mathilde, is in the offing as a weapon is constructed.

Surprising himself, Jack seeks out the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto and pursues romance with local woman Clara. But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate.

The American is released 26th November.

- Buried - Ryan Reynolds is one of the busiest actors currently working in Hollywood and in between his big budget projects of Green Lantern and Deadpool the actor has teamed up with Rodrigo Cortés, who is making his first movie in three years.

Shot on a shoe string budget and in just three weeks Reynolds has admitted that it was one of the toughest shoots that he has ever been on - claustrophobics may want to give this one a miss!

Paul is a U.S. contractor working in Iraq. After an attack by a group of Iraqis he wakes to find he is buried alive inside a coffin. With only a lighter and a cell phone it's a race against time to escape this claustrophobic death trap.

We are all used to seeing Reynolds in the light hearted romantic comedies but Buried looks set to show the actor in a whole different light.

- Monsters - This time last year we were all raving about sci-fi movie District 9, which was one of the best movies of 2009 and went on be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.

Twelve months later and it looks like we have a couple of movies on the horizon that could cause a similar frenzy and Monsters is one of them.

Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon re-entry over Central America.

Soon after, new life form began to appear and half of Mexico was quarantined as an INFECTED ZONE. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain "the creatures"......

Our story begins when a US journalist agrees to escort a shaken tourist through the infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the US border.

The movie if the first feature film for Gareth Edwards, who has also penned the script, and much like District 9 has a virtually unknown cast.
