Notes from MovieGuy's Desk

MovieGuy's 2007 movie preview!
MovieGuy has decided to share his picks for the upcoming year in movies. These are movies that I am looking forward to seeing. Release dates are subject to change because Hollywood people are picky bitches and think no one is going to see anything but Spider-Man 3 and Pirates 3 this summer. Also, note as the months go on, there are less and less picks from me. Looks like the spring is the busy season for MovieGuy.

March
9th - 300 - based on Frank Miller's (Sin City) graphic novel of the same name. Retelling of the story of the battle of Thermoplayne.
16th - Sunshine - Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, 28 Days Later) directs a movie about a group of astronauts who have to re-ignite the sun.
23rd - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - the foursome makes the leap to the big screen, this time as animated tortoises.
23rd - The Hills Have Eyes II - doesn't look as good as the original, but still creepy.

April
6th - Grindhouse - the new Tarantino/Rodriguez double feature.
13th - Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theatres - Frylock, Master Shake and Meatwad prove that poor animation isn't only for South Park and make their own jump to the big screen.
20th - Hot Fuzz - the new one from the guys behind Shaun of the Dead (a movie I need to get around to reviewing on here soon)
27th - The Condemned - WWE films' third big screen epic. Steve Austin stars in what sounds like a rip-off pf The Running Man crossed with the Royal Rumble. Sounds awesome.

May
4th - Spider-Man 3 - Venom. Sandman. Harry as some kind of Goblin.
11th - 28 Weeks Later... - sequel to 28 Days Later.
25th - Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End - Sparrow and gang return for more pirate fun.
25th - Bug - Ashley Judd is trapped in a hotel with some crazy scabies

June
8th - Ocean's Thirteen - Danny Ocean and the gang are back with new allies and enemies.
15th - Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer - Surfer looks cool. Movie also looks better than the original
29th - Live Free or Die Hard - John McLane is back for more ass kicking. This time there are cyber terrorists and one them is the guy that directed Clerks.

July
6th - Transformers - from the trailers I've seen, this one looks awesome. Even if the cast isn't more than stellar.
13th - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - more boy wizardry.

August
3rd - The Bourne Ultimatum - Bourne is awesome. Great great movies. This franchise should love on well beyond the books.
17th - Fanboys - a group of kids break into Skywalker Ranch to get a sneak peek at a yet unfinished Phantom Menace. Trailer looks hilarious.

September
7th - Shoot 'Em Up - Clive Owen. Monica Belluci. Paul Giamatti. Guns. Hyper-violence.
21st - Resident Evil: Extinction - Milla is back and Ali Larter is here too. And some zombies.

October
19th - 30 Days of Night - Vampires in Alaska. Directed by the same dude who made Hard Candy. A vampire movie like I Am Legend should be.
26th - Saw IV - the people behind the first three are gone. No one knows anything about this one: director, cast, plot, anything.

November
2nd - Bee Movie - my man Jerry Seinfeld in an animated movie about bees.
16th - Beowolf - made the same way The Polar Express was made. Based on the Beowolf versus Grendel legend.

December
14th - I Am Legend - as much as this doesn't sound anything like the amazing book, and more like Heston's Omega Man, and the fact that Will Smith is in it, I'll still watch it.
28th - AVP2 - Hahahahaha. Usually there's a big movie released around Christmas. This year, its a sequel to a terrible, terrible movie. I'm excited.

Happy viewing this year!!
