Coen Brothers Movie Coming in 2007 PLUS Upcoming Movies to See in First 3 Months of Year
Let me tell you what really has me excited in the first three months of 2007. I'm going to take this year three months at a time. So what do I expect to have enjoyed by the time April rolls around?
For January
I'm tempted and would like to see Happily N'Ever After to see what the makers of Shrek have served up this time. The week after I think I will see Freedom Writers for the fact that I dig movies that involve at-risk students being uplifted. But I pray that this is not a regurgitation of Finding Forrester. I don't expect it to be as good as Lean on Me when tackling at-risk students. Going in to the third week, I'll take care of unfinished business and see The Good German, which will be in wide release. Next week gets interesting as there are three films that I am seriously intrigued by and then there is one that tempts me. Those three are: Catch and Release, Seraphim Falls (which will be in limited), Smokin' Aces . I am tempted to see Blood and Chocolate also. That rounds out January. Oh, one last thing...The Amateurs has no release date but with Jeff Bridges and a dirty plot like this, I can't miss.
For February
I don't want to see anything the first week. All that is opening is crap and well, more crap. The second week I would like to see The Lives of Others, which will be in limited release and would really like to see this new film by David Zucker called Superhero! with spoofmaster Leslie Nielsen appearing but after viewing the status of this film on IMDB I do not know if it will be coming to a theatre anytime soon. I don't want to see anything that opens on Valentine's Day but that's alright because two days later, Breach and Ghost Rider open. That'll quickly stunt the success of any cheesy romance flick released this Valentine's Day. Come February 23rd, there are four films coming out that I am very interested in. They are (in order of desire to watch): Black Snake Moan, Number 23, Reno 911: Miami, and Astronaut Farmer. That does it for that month.
For March
For the first week, I'm diggin' the comedy Wild Hogs and then Zodiac. I'm also liking The Wind That Shakes the Barley, which will be in limited release that week. Next week I would like to catch Reign Over Me, Fido, which features Billy Connolly as a Zombie (awesome!), and Virgin Territory (the synopsis sounds good). Really, the best thing about this week won't just be the Don Cheadle/Adam Sandler flick but the 300, which is sure to be visually stunning. That following week I would like to see Chris Rock's latest I Think I Love My Wife and 28 Days Later-director Danny Boyle's latest Sunshine. March 23rd will feel like a memorable weekend in February where I really wanted to see nothing. With the exception of First Snow, which will be in limited release, I want to avoid the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and any other movie despite the fact that the Great Kevin Smith is adding his voice to TMNT. The last weekend in March I will probably catch the comedy Blades of Glory and Rescue Dawn, which should be a great Werner Herzog flick especially since Christian Bale is lending his talent to it.
That does it for my picks for the first part of 2007. I expect to have seen a couple movies that will be in my top ten at the end of the year. But as usual, the films of 2007 will only improve as the year goes on.
Plus, back up top I mentioned the new Coen brothers movie. The plot outline for this , after seeing Fargo, Big Lebowski, and Blood Simple, already has me psyched. This looks great. I will point you in the direction of a site to get more information on this.
