2007 Films
« on: January 17, 2007, 01:04:58 PM »

Which movies do you want to see and why?  Here's my list:

300 - This just plain looks amazing.
Coraline - It has Neil Gaiman's stamp of approval, and Henry Selick is a master animator. Besides, Dakota Fanning is involved.
Stardust - Again, it has Gaiman's approval, and every image I've seen so far is masterful.
Beowulf - This is written by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary. I didn't like The Polar Express, but I think that an improved version of that animation style would work for an adult film.
Sin City 2 - I loved the first movie, and all the same players are involved.
Grind House - I love Tarantino, and Rodriguez makes pretty good flicks.
30 Days of Night - The stills I've seen from this movie look like they do the comic justice. I loved the graphic novel. Besides, I keep waiting for Josh Hardett to be in a good movie.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The trailer looks great. This should be a bushel full of fun.
Spider-Man 3 - Do I need to say why?
Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End - I've already seen the first half of this movie, so I might as well catch the rest.
Fantastic Four 2 - The teaser trailer looked awesome, so I'll give it a go. I wasn't a huge fan of the first flick, though.
Transformers - explosions + nice cars + giant robots + laser guns = Michael Bay goodness
Zodiac - This looks to be David Fincher's best film since Fight Club.
Sunshine - I love Danny Boyle, and his last sci-fi flick was awesome.
The Number 23 - Joel Schumacher can be a genius when he tries, and I love Jim Carey in dramatic roles.
The Lovely Bones - As long as it's under three hours, I'll check this out.  Peter Jackson has perfected his style over the past five years.
The Bourne Ultimatum - I wasn't a huge fan of Supremacy, but I loved the first movie Tom Stoppard is co-writing this one, so I'll give it a go.
American Gangster - I'm an unashamed Ridley Scott fantatic.  Here he has a great cast.
The Kite Runner - I loved the book, and I like what whats-his-face did with Stranger than Fiction.
Black Snake Moan - Samuel L. Jackson sexually assualting Christina Ricci for two hours can't be a bad movie.
The Kingdom? - There are a lot of Middle East movies lately.  Sadly, I think this looks like it'll go the way of Three Kings.
I am Legend? - Will Smith fighting zombies might be worth checking out.
The Golden Compass? - The books were good, but I don't like how production of this is being handled.  I'll wait for more news.
The Astronaut Farmer?
Charlie Wilson's War?

Here are mine and the reasons to see them. (I probably missed a few!)

300 – swords!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Ninja Turtles
Spider-Man 3 – Bruce Campbell & the car
Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End – Keith Richards!
Transformers – Robots + Splosions = good
The Bourne Ultimatum – Because Mark will want to see it
The Golden Compass – Possible, I’m not a huge fan of the books.

   I could count the number of decent movies last year on one hand, this year...WOW.

300 - Heroic sacrifice and Gerard Butler being deranged.  So very there.
Coraline - Didn't even know this was out.  Definitely looking forward to it now.
Stardust - Again, can't wait.
Beowulf - Actually interested in both versions of this, if nothing else to see how they differ.
Sin City 2 - More Clive Owen as Dwight?  Yes please.
Grind House - Will either be spectacular or meh.  Given that Freddy Rodriguez recently revealed that he's basically playing Antonio Banderas' DESPERARDO character fighting zombies, I'm leaning towards spectacular.
30 Days of Night - Definitely interested.  I enjoyed the comic but don't have the emotional attachment to it that a lot of other people have, but I'm definitely looking forward to this.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Old school turtles!  Sold.
Spider-Man 3 - Re watched Spidey 1 over the weekend and was amazed to see how quickly some of the effects have dated.  That being said this has been Marvel's most consistent franchise and if Raimi can juggle the multiple villains, this should be great.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End - Keith Richards.  All that needs to be said.
Fantastic Four 2 - Interestingly, the press for this has all had a real air of 'Yeah the first one was lousy, but this is great'.  The teaser is phenomenal and I'm curious to see whether Galactus actually appears or if, as rumoured, he's the lead in for number three.
Transformers - Michael blows stuff up.  Al is made very happy.  Unless it's BAD BOYS 2.
Zodiac - I'll watch pretty much anything Fincher has put his name to and this looks phenomenal.
Sunshine - Hmmm.  My boatloads of issues with 28 DAYS LATER aside (And yet, oddly, I'm looking forward to 28 WEEKS LATER) this looks promising.  Interesting cast (Schwimmer and Michelle Yeoh?  In the SAME film?), the visuals look amazing and whilst rumours are its a thinly veiled EVENT HORIZON remake I...actually really liked EVENT HORIZON.  Oh who am I trying to kid it's a spaceship movie, I'm there with bells on.
The Number 23 - JI#'m really looking forward to this, sounds like a very interesting idea.
1408-John Cusack trapped in a demonic hotel room for at least an hour of the running time.  Advanced word is phenomenal and Cusack is always good value.
The Lovely Bones - Didn't even know this was out this year, excellent:)
The Bourne Ultimatum - Like you, I thought Supremacy was two hours of chase scene looking for a plot.  However, the triple layered plot here (Bourne searching for his identity, a journalist discovering the truth about Treadstone, Treadstone's successor looking for Bourne) has me interested.  Plus, Paddy Considine is always good value.
American Gangster - Crowe's due another good performance, Washington's never less than good and both men do some of their best work with the Scott brothers.  Definitely up for this.
The Kingdom? - The first thing I thought when I saw the trailer for this was 'Testing the water for The Losers'.  Berg's a great director and this looks to push my Mission: Impossible/CSI buttons.  Anything which features Jamie Foxx, Jason Bateman, Jennifer Garner and Chris Cooper (Who appears to be a cheerfully deranged explosives expert) as an FBI unit gets my attention.
I am Legend? - If it's half as dark as the book I'll be genuinely astonished.  Regardless, this is a sure bet because at the very least, it'll be fun and if it takes some chances, has the potential to be something amazing.
The Golden Compass? - Very dubious about the re-writes, and I've sat through quite enough shitty Nicole Kidman movies thank you.  That being said, Pullman is purportedly happy, the Daemons are definitely in and if they can get the Bear right, I'll be very very happy.
The Astronaut Farmer-I should, being as much of a NASA gonk as I am, be slathering at the thought of this.  As it stands, I'm more than a little worried that it'll be too cutesy for its own good.
Charlie Wilson's War-Sorkin script, Hanks front of house.  Sold.
Magicians-Mitchell and Webb!  Stage magic!  Jessica Stevenson being deranged!
Run Fatboy Run-Simon Pegg falling over a lot and running a marathon.  Brilliant.
