...my most anticipated 2007 movies in no particular order. hopefully it will be a fantastic year.
• grindhouse - quentin tarantino has yet to make a bad movie. i can't say the same for robert rodriguez but sin city gave me a lot of faith. and seriously, LOOK. AT. THE. POSTERS. rose mcgowan with a machine gun for a leg!!!
• my blueberry nights - look at the director. look at the cast. how can this not be the best film ever made.
• there will be blood - p.t. anderson hearts the saw 2 tagline
• charlie wilson's war - based on the cast, the plot, and the release date, could this be any more oscarbaity?? still. mike nichols. he don't make crap.
• margot at the wedding - go nicole!!
• evening - ridiculously brilliant cast
• i'm not there - totally fucking fascinating-sounding
• the golden age - cate blanchett is meh but she was great in elizabeth but honestly who really cares if cate blanchett is in something when CLIVE OWEN is!!!
• spider-man 3 - even with 25082085 villains and new characters or whatever i still have faith in sam raimi.
• 300 - it could be the new sin city + gerard butler
• 28 weeks later - 28 days later was awesome (it's my #10 for '03 if you're not counting angels in america). i really hope this doesn't suck; danny boyle did a great job and this got some random new director.
• american gangster - it could really suck or it could be AMAZING
• evan almighty - i, um, really liked bruce almighty. stop looking at me like that!! steve carell YAY.
• live free or die hard - i have a new bruce willis obsession. what? he's hot. don't judge.
• shrek 3 - i absolutely love the first two even though it is soooo very trendy not to. hopefully this one will be no different.
• youth without youth - does anyone know if this actually is this year? if so. omg. coppola.
not looking forward to at all:
• pirates of the carribbean: at world's end - though at least the series'll be over
• sweeney todd - grrr. one of my very favorite musicals was supposed to be directed by the amazing sam mendes and star russell crowe, if you believe rumors. instead, it's being directed by tim fucking burton and starring johnny fucking depp and helena bonham-fucking-carter. in case you couldn't figure that out, those aren't good "fucking"s either. if this is awesome, i'll be the first to admit it, but i bet it sucks.
• hairspray - god i hope musicals don't die again this year. this looks really, really uninspired, based on stills. but i do love what the director said, something along the lines of: "i know what i'm doing. i'm not christopher columbus directing rent"
• southland tales - much like how my blueberry nights can't be anything but the best movie ever made, this can't be anything but the worst movie ever made.
• harry potter and the order of the pheonix - my absolute least favorite of the books being directed by not-alfonso-cuaron. ugh.
