Most Anticipated Movies of 2007

I saw some sites doing this, so I thought I'd put in what I am looking forward to.

Movies that I am so incredibly pumped for that are 2006 movies-
Children of Men and Pan's Labyrinth (these are coming out this month, so you will see my reviews soon, I won't say anything more about them)

Movies that I am so incredibly pumped for that are 2007 movies-
300- If you have seen a single trailer for this movie, you will understand why, it looks incredible
Zodiac- David Fincher's return to the serial killer movie, about the Zodiac Killer of San Fran
Smokin Aces- great cast, great looking zany action movie
Grindhouse- Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez doing 70's style horror
Sunshine- another Danny Boyle (trainspotting, 28 days later) movie
stardust- based off of the Neil Gaiman book, my favorite author, fantastic book by the way
I AM Legend- based off the Richard Matheson book, but they are changing the vampires to vampire-zombies, so hmmmm
Shoot em up- buzz is that it will be one of the best action movies ever
3:10 to Yuma- never saw the original, but it has Christian Bale, Russell Crowe and Peter Fonda, directed by James Mangold
American Gangster- Russell Crowe, Denzel Washington and Ridley Scott in a movie about a drug dealer in the 70s
the mist- Frank Darabont, the guy that did Shawshank Redemption and Green Mile, doing a Stephen King horror movie about monsters
beowulf- take the animation quality of Polar Express, the direction of Robert Zemeckis, and a great voice cast, and the story of beowulf

Summer Blockbusters that look great-
Spiderman 3- I love the Spiderman movies, and Venom is my favorite villain
Transformers- I hope it's just a fun mindless action movie with robots
die hard 4
Pirates of the Caribbean 3- lets hope it's better than 2, it's based in Asia, it has Chow Yun Fat
Harry Potter 5
The Simpsons

Political/Espionage/Movies based in Middle East- Big year for this genre
Vantage Point/Rendition- Very similar in that they will employ the Rashomon many POV of one event plot device, both based in Middle East, both with great casts
Charlie Wilson's War- Tom Hanks in a movie about a congressman that helped fund the Mujaheedin of Afghanistan against the soviets
Breach- movie about a CIA operative that helped the Soviets
the garden of elah
Lions for Lambs- Cruise, Meryl Streep and Robert Redford
The Kingdom

Movies you could be seeing at Next Years oscars and Independents- Other movies i listed above could be there too, but these didn't fit in those categories
Reservation Road- Mark Ruffalo kills Joaquin Phoenix's son in a hit and run, about the aftermath
Margot at the Wedding- Noah Baumbach did The Squid and The Whale and this is his next
My Blueberry Nights- Wong Kar Wai's first American film, great cast
Eastern Promises- David Cronenberg's next
Paris, Je t'aime- 20 different directors direct five minutes of a movie about Paris
The Kite Runner
Michael Clayton- George Clooney movie
The Golden Compass- based off the Philip Pullman fantasy series, His Dark Materials, has a promising cast and the series is supposed to be real good
No Country for Old Men- The next Coen Brothers movie
There Will Be Blood- The next PT Anderson movie
Before the Devil knows your dead
Synecdoche- the next Charlie Kaufmann movie

I think that is good, there is a lot that looks good this year, more than what it on this list... there is also Sundance coming up, but who knows what will be purchased there
